Payment issues, Discord access and suggestions (Patreon)

Hi all,

If you intended to join my Patreon or to renew your pledge, you may have experienced payment issues since August 1st. The list of the creators you were supporting may also have vanished as a result. Patreon has yet to react to these issues that seem to be related to their payment processing moving to Ireland, resulting in some payments being tagged as fraudulent (the issue mentioned on https://status.patreon.com/ may be related, but is about creator payouts). In the meantime... We can only wait for the situation to be resolved.

These issues have two consequences:

• If your pledge has been cancelled due to these payment issues, the Patreon bot on Discord has probably removed your rights on the server. If you're in this case and would like to retain access to the server, I've created a temporary status that will grant you Chubby Tier access to it. Feel free to reply here (the post is public) or to send me a note if you'd like to receive this temporary status.
• If you were a Super Size Tier member, it's possible you'll miss suggestion posts, depending on how long it takes Patreon to get back on its feet (next suggestion post on Monday). If you're in this case, I'll take your suggestion even if your pledge has been cancelled, either through messages here or on Discord. Additionally, carryover votes won't be lost this month. Please check the calendar for the suggestion posts dates: https://www.patreon.com/posts/august-2023-86942333

That's it for now, I'll keep you all updated if needed.

[Update] Retyping some card informations to trigger a new payment seems to be enough for the payment processor to consider it as a new manual payment instead of an automated one suddenly being emitted from a different country, thus avoiding to have it consider as a fraudulent operation.
