Reasons for my reward delivery method explained... (Patreon)

I just want to take a moment and clarify why I only post these thumbnails here on the Patreon wall, and instead deliver the full sized rewards after payment's have been processed, via email. I received an exit survey from a frustrated Patron that thought it was needlessly complicated, so I feel it's important to remind new Patrons why I do this: 

Before I did this, I had a lot of "Pledge dodgers" who would sign up, download the pics off of the wall, and then leave, without paying the promised pledge amount.   This made it so that it was impossible for me to know how much income I was receiving at any given time, because my pledge amount displayed on my profile was being bloated by fake pledges, making it look like I was earning far more than I actually was. At the end of the month, when pledges are processed and I get paid, I was getting only about 1/3rd to 1/2 of the stated pledge amount. It was needlessly stressful for me, and made it difficult to understand what my income would actually be, at any given time. The extra stress made the entire thing feel less worth while...

 Furthermore, since it was so easy to just fake pledge, download the images and leave with out paying, pledge dodgers would take the images and post them elsewhere. While it's impossible to prevent art theft completely, forcing people to actually follow through with payments prevents a majority of art thieves from taking the work and posting it elsewhere. 

However, once I started using my current method of posting thumbnails on the wall, and sending full sized images via email at end of the month, the amount of fake pledges I received lowered dramatically. Now, I can expect about $100 worth of pledges each month to be from fake pledgers, instead of the huge amount it was, before. 

I hope this explains the reason behind my delivery process to anyone who is new, and didn't know! I am more than willing to answer any questions anyone might have. :)

Thanks for your support!
