Stiffed again.
Added 2018-09-03 05:25:02 +0000 UTCSo I was checking my Patreon to see what the month's score was. It was zero - all I got was yet another automated Bot-message:
"While your page is being reviewed, you can continue all normal activity on Patreon except for paying out your creator balance.
In order to keep creators safe, Patreon restricts the ability for creators to payout their creator balance once suspicious activity has been detected on their account. In addition to restricting payouts, a Patreon Trust & Safety team member will manually review your account and get in touch with you.
We understand that this review may come at a bad time and we want to make sure that you can receive your money when you need it most. If you find yourself in a situation where you need assistance from us sooner, please email our Trust & Safety team directly: guidelines@patreon.com "
Must be from the time I was asking them about why I couldn't upload a comix page. And now the 'bots are waiting for a human to get around to looking at my page for "suspicious activity". Computers are supposed to have a turnaround time of seconds. But it took Patreon's 'bots two weeks to get around to sending answers to my half-dozen help requests (all the same answer, utterly useless). This does not bode well. For all I know, it may take months for a human to get around to me, if they ever do. AAAAUGH!
I got bills to pay. This is downright horrible!
Oh - I just got an electronic "receipt" for my inquiry to the e-mail posted above. It says:
"Thanks so much for reaching out to Patreon - we have received your request and will work to get back to you as soon as we can. We are currently out of the office for the holiday and will return September 4th, 2018.
Due to the large number of inquiries we've received, we are anticipating slower response times."
No, REALLY?

2018-09-03 12:53:46 +0000 UTCDude that's rough, it happened to another Patreon I support too, (They got stopped for a month) It seems like Patreon (The Service) is cracking down on porn artists again. (Even if they follow the rules) :(
