Patreon UPDATE
Added 2020-07-26 23:49:02 +0000 UTC***UPDATE to UPDATE at bottom of this message too, LOL!***
Hi all! Thanks for all your help again with the TROLL activity we have been getting here. Most of you are real people, but I have found some suspicious activity and am working with Patreon now. I thought it best to keep this information for our higher tier members, since our lower tiers have some suspicious accounts... but I'm trying to find a way to confirm if they are duplicate accounts or not since I don't want to accuse an actual fan by accident.
So if you don't mind my request- don't feed the trolls- DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. We are a strong and wonderful community.. so don't reply to trolls at all. They feed off of annoying people and only want to start a fight.. there is no reasoning with them. If someone bothers you, private message me, and I will look into it and take action. Trolls stay longer when people engage them. I will ban/report these accounts, but it will take some time since I need to be certain of fraud. I think it's only 1 or 2 Trolls with a lot of fraud accounts currently. We are a mass of many so with your help monitoring, we can stop this :)
Since there is a chance that the POLLS are rigged due to fraud, I'm going to change it up this week somehow through some of your suggestions.
Please don't leave us here because of TROLLS. That's what they want. Please PM me with any TROLL suspicion and I will do the best I can to resolve the matter. You all mean a lot to us and keep us going! xoxo
UPDATE to UPDATE LOL- So I banned a lot of accounts and reported them. It's not 100% proof, but let's stay strong and positive together and don't engage Trolls. Just tell me through PM. I will have our normal POLL tmrw with some differences suggested by all of you. I think we may have a real POLL tmrw now. Phew!
On a good note, we did enjoy The Impossible! So tragic, beautiful acting and directing!
Comments
I'd just like to put this out there that I am not a Troll, in case I ever look suspicious because of how little I actually post comments and etc.

2020-07-28 16:59:29 +0000 UTCI guess I don't frequent this site as often as I thought I did, because this whole debacle flew over my head. Good to see that everything is starting to settle down now though but I'll still keep an eye out for any more shenanigans.

2020-07-27 19:23:46 +0000 UTCI’m glad that everyone is alerted to this. I have to say this is my favorite community I’m a part of and and glad we’re helping each other keep an eye out for trolls. Side note: would it be in bad taste if I suggested the animated movie “Trolls”...for obvious reasons? Lol
2020-07-27 02:54:57 +0000 UTCThis was not a troll who was harassing people though. This one hid in the crowd, and did shady stuff in the background, until he exposed himself.

2020-07-27 01:07:36 +0000 UTCAgreed! Hopefully it'll be good now! Patreon will hopefully get back to me soon with more information. I have reported and banned the confirmed fraud accounts though. It amazes me what lengths some people will go to just to bother others... I mean, that must of taken a lot of time to create all those accounts! There were a lot! Thanks for sticking with us!!!

2020-07-27 00:37:59 +0000 UTCYou are so welcome and well worth it! The least I can do for you guys! Sorry for the trouble! I took care of most of it, but it could always come back, so I will try my best to stay on top of it. Best thing is for everyone to ignore Trolls and report it to me (if you guys don't mind!) Thanks again Carlos!! xoxo

2020-07-27 00:35:33 +0000 UTCThanks, Dawn. I know it must be annoying having to commit a big chunk of your day to dealing with trolls. We appreciate it!.

2020-07-27 00:25:39 +0000 UTCAww, thanks Nolan!!! We are truly grateful for such a community!!! XD

2020-07-27 00:18:28 +0000 UTCThanks Jihad! So many wonderful people here reached out to warn me and provided evidence. That helped a lot! I'm open minded to ideas and this I really hoped wasn't true... but I'm happy some of it at least is resolved now. I'm going to try my best to stay on top of it every week, but the heads up from you guys really makes a difference!! Thank you!! xoxo

2020-07-27 00:17:17 +0000 UTCAww, thank you Evander!! I'm happy the trolling didn't take over too badly! I am so happy you think our community is one of the best! That is so heart warming a great to hear! Yay! Doing research, it seems trolling happens everywhere and the best way to make it go away is just to ignore them, tell me and I'll handle it :) I want us to always feel welcome and have fun! I love what you have to say!!! :)

2020-07-27 00:14:18 +0000 UTCWell, hopefully this gets sorted out and we stop getting these sudden vote explosions. And some of the classic movies we want you all to see actually start winning, with random selections on the side. :)

2020-07-27 00:13:52 +0000 UTCThanks Nolan! I need to learn more about discord.. I haven't even made one yet.. under a rock! Thanks for the help! I actually banned 2 accounts I knew were very suspicious through my settings.. and immediately, a ton of other accounts were blocked too. Not sure how that works, but looking at the other accounts afterwards, they all had similar names and numbers.. so maybe doing those 2 triggered all of them to block and be reported? It sure seems that way and I hope so! Maybe I should get a discord? Thanks again!

2020-07-27 00:11:24 +0000 UTCI would agree with you evander, it's a very nice community!

2020-07-27 00:07:21 +0000 UTCI'll keep my eye out, Is this in the patreon only or discord too? (Not sure if you have a discord server, lol but I'm covering our bases)

2020-07-27 00:05:53 +0000 UTCWow this sucks! So stupid on the trolls part I mean. And if they are rigging the polls it would make sense. Not saying that other members dont want watch the same movie or shows but something seemed off. Hopefully they arent and I'm just overreacting. Hope you can get this fixed!🙏🏾

2020-07-26 23:59:45 +0000 UTCNever knew there was troll activity going around this community :/ I mean there’s always something going on in the YouTube comment section, but never on Patreon. I hope all goes well in the end, because aside from all of these issues, this is easily one of the best communities :)
