Charging upfront changes IMPORTANT, READ
Added 2018-01-27 23:12:23 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
So, now that I finally get the time Ive been trying to catch up in work and organizing everything, so hopefully I will have more to show soon-ish ^^
Ive been postponing this until I could give it more thought, and got the time to discuss it with you all, but Id like to make the change to the 'charge upfront' system.
What does this mean? This will allow me to upload content through the Patreon posts instead of sending you each the rewards through individual Private messages, which is a mess and is not optimal in my opinion. So, everything should come much more organized.
Why I couldnt do this before? Because Patreon is full of fake accounts, and without the charge upfront system anyone who 'pledges' to me gets inmediate access to all the Patreon posts whithout having to pay.
Alright, so what is the downside to this? On the long run this is definitely beneficial, and it would work the same for you. The problem is that once I make the change you will probably be 'double charged'. Is not really a double charge, but as you will get charged earlier this month then it would seem like it. Trying to explain it better: Last payment I got, on January 5th, was December pledges, once I change the system you will be charged (probably immediately, but not really sure) for January's Pledges, and then on the 1st of February you will be charged for February's Pledges. After that everything will go back to normal and you will get charged on the 1st of every month for THAT month's Pledges (March's pledges will get charged on the 1st of March and so on).
I know this will make this month really messy, and I know maybe not all you may be prepared to pay 'twice' this month. Thats why I wanted to ask you and let you all know in advance.
I'd really like to make this change, but I really want to know your opinion about it! Please let me know if you have any problems or have any doubts about it!
If most of you are alright with it, then I expect to do the change on Tuesday the 30th, that way, hopefully things are figured out for next month c:

Also, REMINDER, if you want to send me your ideas for next month's Painting please do so soon! Email, PM, discord, comment, anything is fine!

As always thank you all so much!!

It is really disappointing yeah, but hopefully this will fix it! I dont understand why they dont make it available for everyone already. Glad youre ok with the change ^^
2018-01-28 17:46:06 +0000 UTCI would have already made that change myself but I wasn't among those with the beta option. I'm just a small fish here but just last month I had two out of three new pledge were fraudulent, so I can understand how frustrating it is to be taken advantage of. A little one time mess is a small price to pay for not having to look at any new pledge with suspicion.
