Patreon Fail
5 years ago
So just tried to create a Patreon account only to have it disabled. Either calling myself an anthro artist, or if I should have waited 24 hours to set up my payment method that caused an issue I don't know. Either way that was a flop.
I've emailed them to see what is the problem but at this moment I have not heard anything.
I was going to use this as a sort of tip jar before adding to it but since the whole thing fell through I don't know if I'll even bother with Patreon. If they respond tomorrow then I'll decide if I'll give it another shot.
Update:
Well after looking at my emails it looks like I miss-clicked the launch button after being approved
as the time line is
- 38 minutes after verifying my email I received a welcome to Patreon.
- 32 minutes after that I received your account successfully been submitted for review.
- 6 minutes after that the acceptance email was received.
- 15 minuets later I must have clicked the launch button again sending a review request again.
- 11 minuets later the second request is approved.
-10 minutes after that my account was suspended for suspicious activity.
So I guess I made a mistake. Though to be honest you would think they would have something in place to stop something like that from happening. Even a simple “you have already been approved” or “a review request has already been sent”. As for the email I sent I have yet to hear back. As I am now typing this at almost 1AM they likely won't get back to me until tomorrow, so we'll see then.

OP
Well my plan was to first set it up for tips while I donated to others on patreon. Then after a few months decide what to set my rewards as.
