I'm very sorry, there are bad news from Patreon. here is the mail : "My name is Tyler Palmer and I am the VP of Operations here at Patreon. I just wanted to let you know that we had to change your custom URL and set your Patreon page to “private.” The only difference with private pages is that users must have a specific link to view your page, as it no longer appears in our search results. We got a notice from Paypal this morning that they were shutting down their entire integration with Patreon because of "adult content" on our site! As you can imagine, this would be detrimental to creators - hundreds of thousands of dollars were to be "frozen" unless we flagged all adult content pages, made them private, and removed Paypal functionality from their individual pages. Paypal was extremely helpful in resolving this entire issue within a few hours. I'm so sorry that we had to do this without warning you first, but it was SUCH an emergency! We simply had to take action to avoid a situation where creators would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars of legitimate pledges. We have already emailed your patrons who signed up to become your patron through Paypal, and we have asked them to switch over to a credit card. No action is needed on your part. Just so you know, here is our official policy on adult content: https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201872047 Thank you so much, and please be in touch if you have any questions at all. Tyler"
