How about I send you a patreon PM whenever I post a new page, with the high res file on a dropbox link? There's a way I can send massive messages to ONLY the "Processed patrons" (aka those who have contributed). I can also see your all-time contribution. So if I see someone with 0, i give nothing to them D:!
I think this way I reward the true contributors and at the same time filter the nosy, pledge-and-run people.
I wouldn't even have to post low-res uncensored pics, AT ALL. If i send you the pages directly, I could only post a frame or something here on the patreon page as a post for "suggestions for next page".
This last bit would fix the problem of people reposting things ON THE SHORT TERM. After the comics are released for sale, well, the problem would continue, but at least not on patreon anymore, which is good enough for me.
This will also give me more control, since I would be picking who gets stuff and who doesn't. pledge-and-run people wouldn't appear on the patron manager list, since they... well, run. Say someone pledges and runs several times. If i notice the pattern, I can simply write his name down and never send high res pics to this person if I ever see him on the patron manager. Say someone is smart enough to stay a month or two, give a lifetime contribution of $20 or something, and then starts pledging and running. I would notice the pattern, blacklist him, and give nothing. I'm thinking of extreme cases of somebody with too much free time on his hands and making new accounts every time to pledge 5 bucks, contribute to 1 page, and then run, and repeat it with a different name, but I don't know if someone would actually do THAT MUCH EFFORT for a porn comic xD
What does this mean to you?
This means you would recieve bi-weekly emails notifying you of my patreon PMs with links to the private download link. This will also mean that newcomers would have to stay at least a month (or at least a week perhaps, staying for the last MLWF update) get processed, and THEN i would be able to see their contribution on their "lifetime contribution" and get access to the thing.
For me, it would imply 10 minutes of micromanaging two times a week, I think that's pretty reasonable.
In a metaphor, the city outside might still be on fire, but at least we could have extinguished the fire on our own house.
WHAT DO YOU THINK???!? I need your opinion and your approval to do this.
