Patreon Charges
Added 2018-08-02 20:57:17 +0000 UTCPatreon made some changes recently that have fucked over users and creators. I personally lost 22% of my patrons to declined charges. They didn't jump ship. Patreon fucked up somewhere. While it's not the end of the world it is a bummer to take a hit like that.
If you guys want to continue to support not just me but the other people on this site, please take a minute right now to update your billing info.
And since we're talking patronage and support, I want to thank you again for your kind words and encouragement. Thank you.

2018-08-03 05:25:48 +0000 UTCI also was hit with the same BS.. you see your support and funds take a hit after the end of each billing cycle and it's not nearly as much as you should make because of fraudulent users and declined payments. I found that it helped me when I charged per creation...
2018-08-02 22:56:33 +0000 UTCIt didn't affect me, but I did see lots of people including other Patreon content creators grumbling about this on the Twitter. Wasn't it a year ago Patreon got hammered by patrons and creators for trying to add a fee? They quickly dropped it due to backlash. Looking forward to Back2School!

2018-08-02 21:36:09 +0000 UTCPatreon recently switched to a UK based processor. Due to the UK banking/financial regulations transactions like these (especially with a debit card) are flagged as fraud/money laundering and rejected outright. PayPal works though

2018-08-02 21:16:40 +0000 UTCYeah, I got hit with that. All my pledges declined. Email to Patreon: They say the CC company doesn't give them much info on reason for decline. Email to CC Company: We declined to protect your account because of unusual foreign activity. I tell them that Patreon pledge is OK, please allow. They said they'd fix. I hit retry over on Patreon and it went through a few hours ago. Everything should be OK now, at least from me. I wish Patreon at thought this through a bit more, or at least have given people a bit of a warning.
