IMPORTANT: Patron Deletion Warning
Added 2015-11-03 15:17:09 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Just a heads up. I have noticed a pattern on recent patrons that pledge on the bigger tiers, have no user icons and they only pledge on my patreon. All of these have declined the payment so i am pretty sure these are fake accounts. The problem with these is that they are inflating my numbers in an artificial way and also causing me to reach my milestones when i am not really getting the real numbers.
Add in mind that i also get the Patreon fee and the other currency conversion issues, so i really get way less than what the numbers on my Patreon say.
This also means that i will deny the Patreon rewards for these people. They get the commission and colored pieces rewards and i get nothing in return.
If you are one of these people and this is an honest mistake. Do let me know and update your information on Patreon so i can know this was just an error. Otherwise i will assume the account is a fake one.
I will be deleting these Patrons by the end of the week to avoid more artificial inflation. I really can't afford to do extra work for nothing in return.
Sorry about the bad news guys.

Already did. They say they are looking at options to prevent bots from doing this stuff in the future. Apparently it is a common issue.
