Patreon suspended // Updates
7 years ago
Hey folks! Thank you all so much for all your support and encouragement around my previous Journal... It was so heartwarming! I decided to write another journal to keep you all updated about the develops of my Patreon Temporary Suspension.
What happened? On May 3rd my Patreon channel got temporarily suspended, suddenly and without any preliminary notification of sort. The same day I received an email from the Trust & Safety team of Patreon, notifying the suspension for violating our Community Guidelines (non-consensual sex, bestiality, incest, and sexualized depictions of minors). Also, they stated I cannot have any adult content or nudity present or linked to in any public part of my Patreon page, even if your page is marked as 'adult content'. Luckly enough I menaged to get my May payout and so all monthly rewards are granted.
As dumb and sexophobic this sounded, I counld't do much about it: I just had to purge every cub-related content from my Patreon page and had to manually re-label every single adult picture with the "Patron Only" tag, making it the frustrating Paywall system I tried to fight the all past year. Anger and frustration around this brought me to consider closing my account on Patreon but, giving it some thought, I decided to change it as follows:
► GOLD TIER CHANGE
Starting from June, the Gold Tier will no longer be rewarded automathically with a doodle reward: it will radically change! It's gonna be turned back to a 10$ monthly tier and will be a luck roulette with a monthly extraction of a lucky winner to get a icon/badge/portrait of a single character!
► PLATINUM TIER CHANGE
Starting from June, the Platinum Tier will rise to 50$ and all slots will be cleared out. While I am receiving a constant support from my top Patrons (and I'm so grateful for it!), many many people cannot get the same artworks for a super discounted price. A lot of people complained about the fact my short number of slots and the fact they cannot snatch one, since it seems like my top Patrons are automathically re-pledging on them. That's why I decided to give it a chance, for what is worth, and The Platinum Tier will be cleared out at the end of each month, allowing new Patrons to get the Platinum Tier. Of course, I need to apologize to my Platinum Tiers for this action and I'm grateful for every month of their kind support... I just need to get back to the original intent of my Patreon channel: to experiment with styles, with artistic stuff, with new concepts! While I noticed I am falling always under the same kind of rewards - not all the time, y'know, just most of times. So I beg you to understand my actions. Thank you!
► I will no longer accept cub-related requests trough my Patreon page. All my cub related stuff will be kept to Inkbunny (and maybe Sofurry).
► Early Access option on Patreon: due to their superdumb adult content policy this option became obsolete. I will no longer use the it and my Patreon will still have adult contents on it, but you'll need to become a Patreon to see those. I'm sorry, it doesn't depend on my will!
That's all for now! Thank you for keeping up with me, for supporting me and for all your messages and words of encouragement! A special thanks to all my Patrons, this is not gonna take me down! NOT YET! OwO

I still feel unsure about scalies, but we'll see what happens :)
Also, it seems that Ko-fi is the newest hot thing right now.
