I did a Thing (Patreon)

Over the past few months, there have been about two people (most likely one person using different accounts) who pledged early in the month only to unpledge right before the month was over. Then they'd pledge again and repeat the process. 

As you all know, Patreon's default setting charges you the first of every month, so this person was skipping having to ever pay for the early access.

That's not fair to me, and it's not fair to you. Since it kept happening, I've changed the settings of this Patreon to charge up front. This means new patrons will be charged the day they become patrons and then on the first of every month. 

Existing patrons should not be affected by this. As I understand it, the only change for you would be if you decided to change your pledge. In that event, the difference will be charged up front. 

I wish we could have remained with the old system, but this is the choice I made in the end. I hope you all understand.
