Oh, noes! Patreon Suspended! (Hopefully temporarily)
7 years ago
Just got word from Patreon that my account has been (hopefully) temporarily suspended due to violating the Community Guidelines. They haven't told me exactly WHICH guideline I've violated but, they'll hopefully answer my email soon.
I'm slightly worried. If it's an "Adult Work" violation, dang, my stuff is SO vanilla. Not sure what else it could be. I'm not doxing, there's not hate speech and all of my work is my own.
Also, I do wonder who reported me.
Ah, well. Hopefully this will work itself out.
Stand by for art!

if you had any "this tier enters you in for a monthly raffle" kinda thing I believe that'd get you suspended. I'm not 100% sure why its a rule, but I think it conflicts with a few other state's laws about online raffles and such, and rather than making work-arounds, Patreon just said its not allowed period.

OP
I was bugged by the no-raffle thing. I think you're right about the state law thing. Apparently, a personal raffle is the same as online gambling...

yea, and some states have laws against pain-in raffels. That, and there's a new update going around regarding age things... so check that.... didn't know about that until now


CoraBlue’s Patreon was also temporarily taken down as well; apparently Patreon has been cracking down hard on any and all violations, whether justified or not. I’m sure if you speak with their support staff you’ll be back up soon, but it’s a rude policy to shut down pages without any kind of warning like this.
