Clarification of Old Rules and Implementation of New Ones (Patreon)

In regard to recent Patreon-related cancellations- And yes, I can see the Exit Surveys, which is why I can now provide a full official statement.

I will not say who, but I will say 'what' is leading some Patrons to leave and, I will be honest, it seems this is more due to a subjective lack of understanding of the rules and the benefits each tier provides while also 'deciding to not ask if some unspoken ones are real or not':

1- A recent 'lack' of activity in regard to posting new chapters: as I mentioned at the beginning of this month, like any other commission months, I am not active enough to post new chapters in the patreon when I am handling commissions. To make up for that issue, and I have written it clearly in some of the upper tiers, there is a benefit that allows priority to commission request from Patrons. Only one individual has used it, the rest deciding to just ignore it for some weird reason. I am giving you the silver spoon and a nice meal, I don't think I need to mother you and feed you personally.

2- 'I just wanted <Already published independent story> continued': I have said it for more than a year now, there is no benefit that allows any Patron to request 'revivals' of a story. I am fine with commissioning new chapters to a snippet story, I am fine with requesting a continuation even for independent stories through commissions, there is a monthly suggestion post any patron can use to post their own ideas to see those eventually posted, I am also open to DMs when someone wants to talk about ideas and they are in the Patreon, but I have no rule whatsoever that allows for 'revivals' of stories!

So, in lieu of these problems, I am introducing some new rules in the Patreon to prevent any form of issues:
1) If someone posts 'At the Gators' or any other story suggestions as viable option both in polls and suggestion post, they are immediately banned. I am not playing around this time, I don't care about 'jokers' that want to just 'prank' others- you are getting banned;
2) You are allowed to DM me, no one is prohibiting you to do that. If you want to ask clarifications, then it is within your own right. People need to stop drawing assumptions and just 'think their headcanon for rules is the true canon'.
