Some changes in payment method. Please read! (Patreon)

I want to tell you some news about changing the payment method. On patreon it's called "charge up front". Recently some guys create an account, then make a pledge of $ 5 or more, take a link to early access and then immediately remove the pledge. And if earlier there were one or two such mini-incidents, then there were seven in the case of Nyrean huntress. In this regard, I decided to switch payment method.

If you are already my patron: in general, nothing will change for you.

" Your existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual.

Example: A patron joins your Patreon community on  January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for  January patronage. On February 25th, you change your payment type so  that patrons are charged up front. The patron will be charged $10 on  March 1st for March patronage.

If an existing patron increases their pledge, they will be  charged the difference between their last pledge value, and the new  pledge value. On the 1st of the month (and every 1st of the month  thereafter) they will be charged the full amount of their pledge until  they cancel or edit their pledge.

Example: A patron signs up on January 5th for  $10/month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage.  On February 25th, you change your payment type so that patrons are  charged up front. On February 26th, the patron increases their pledge to  $15. The patron will be charged $5 on February 26th. Then the patron  will be charged $15 on March 1st for March patronage and they will  continue to be charged $15 every 1st of the month thereafter until they  cancel or edit their pledge."

If you are a new patron:

 " New Patrons will be  charged on the day they become your patron, giving them access to all  content shared with their reward tier. On the 1st of the following  month, they will simply return to being charged monthly at the beginning  of the month.

Example: A patron joins your Patreon community on  February 25th for $10 per month. They will be charged $10 on the day  they join, February 25th, for February patronage. On March 1st, the  Patron will be charged $10 for March patronage."
