So it literally seems like Patreon is very uncreative when it comes to solving problems that users are having.
Also I am sorry to all those that I supported, but I did delete all of my pledges, because I could no longer after to support those that I had signed up because it the fees would push me over my budget, so I decided if I have to delete some as a result of this, then I should delete them all instead of having to pick and choose, because I would have felt bad for choosing some over others and I could not bring myself to do that.
I know other members have had to remove their pledges because it would make the fees from their bank for foreign currency than what they would be giving to the creators.
The "double charging" has multiple solutions, and if the fees are a big deal for the individual charges there are also additional fixes for that as well, like asking if the patron would like to have instant access and be charged up front and then starting at the first of the month, or waiting until the 1st of the next month to get access. Other solution would include new pledge black out windows and then adding a small processing fee for new immediate charges before the first of the month.
There is so many options that could have been done that wouldn't have messed with the system that much and still be pretty acceptable to a vast majority of people.
