Chargin' Up Front (Patreon)

Well, with my recent rash of fraudulent patrons, I am currently considering adding a "Charge Up Front" feature to future patron pledges. 

What this means: Any current patrons I have will not be charged immediately; all your future payments will continue to be done at the beginning of the month as usual. However, any new patrons, or current patrons who change their pledge level, will be charged for their first/latest payment rather than at the beginning of the month (Ex: if you pledge in the middle of May, you'll be charged immediately for the month of May, rather than at the end of the May).

 Hopefully this will discourage any future frauds, or simply anyone who pledges, peeps around, and then cancels and dashes away.

Bear in mind that this change is permanent; I cannot change it once I do (they specifically say so). So unless anyone here has a good reason for me not to do it, I'm going to start charging patrons up front tomorrow night.
