[Poll Results & Comments] Changes to each Tier's access method

Hello everyone!

As I'm sure you all know, tonight is the end of the month, which means I zip up all the (100+) images I've been working on this month, and you get to see the visual offerings to the lewd gods :D (or an amount specific to your tier, but let's not get too technical)

As I had posted earlier this month, I had made a change to how each tier accesses posts and gets notifications, which mostly affects the content pack posts since you can't see (and won't get spammed) with other tier's content pack notifications.

Since some people expressed a bit of reluctance towards this change, I figured I'd make a poll and post to hear you guys out. While there's some of you who aren't too crazy about the change, the poll was otherwise overwhelmingly positive towards less email spam/notifications about content that's already available to you in your current pledge tier.

So with this in mind, I will be keeping the change moving forward.

However, HOWEVER!!

Those of you that commented against the change raised a valid point, and that sometimes a specific piece might get lost in the churn of preparing the packs, so being able to view lower tier content allows users to audit the content to make sure the archives are complete (has only happened once or twice to my knowledge in the last 4 years, but hey, to err is human and I'm far from infallible).

Since this is a valid point, I'm not going to ignore those of you who are a little antsy about this change.

So, as an extra measure to ensure transparency and give you the ability to audit content and make sure nothing slipped through the cracks, what I'm going to do is just include all available packs to each tier in each post (ie. Supporter pledges get access to the Supporter pack, Shareholders get access to the Shareholder + Supporter packs, Board Members get access to the UltraPack + Shareholder + Supporter packs, and so forth), with the notification that you only really need to download your current tier pack to get all the content available to your tier (the rest of the packs will still be added to the post for auditing purposes, should specific members choose/want to do so).

So, each month's content pack post will include:

1) The main pack for your current tier > Download this one, it has everything available to your tier

2) The rest of the packs for lower tiers (if applicable) > this will be duplicate content, so unless you want to audit the included content, you can avoid downloading these.

I hope that with this measure I can satisfy everyone as much as possible and I can keep the same level of transparency in content publishing I have had since before the change last month, while adding the perk of less email spam for you all :)
