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.

Seems like a pretty reasonable idea. Too bad you can't use something that logs information on users, to maybe ID the jerk

kennoarkkan

to ID? =O what's that? I also must say, I already spoke with the staff about this, and they told me they were still working on a banning feature of sorts. Even tho, I think this is a cleaner solution to the reposting problem.

MaxL8

I think that's a good idea I just hope I'm one of the good guys.

MaveriKat

Hmm... I've just recently started patroning. I hope I've got at least $10 to my contribution name with the recent Enter Trrace Comic.

AzuraDio

yeah im cool with this idea

Anonymous

Seems like a sound idea. Also if you typed MLWF or any variations of the title in to Google and find any web pages that has your work on it. If you didn't put it there then you can see who did. If its anon then find a way to trace IP and find culprit (s).

kennoarkkan

it doesn't u.u since the system doesn't charge you until next month. You would have to wait until may to get your high res pics :O Consider it as the "trial of fire" that would separate the true contributors from the opportunists :p

Tony

Sounds like a good idea :)

Might alienate some people at first, maybe still post uncensored medium res pages for unconfirmed people and then once you pay you get the high res ones? Trying to think of the best way to keep people excited about signing up without having to wait a month but if you're worried about piracy then you're gonna inconvenience people somewhere. Best solution I've heard so far

kennoarkkan

It is right, it would alienate some newcomes. But then again, thinking about it, That's exactly what this place needs. Patreon doesn't need casuals that pledge for a month and then go away. I've always thought that's the big difference between patreon and an actual paysite. On a paysite, you can go in, check the stuff for a while, if you don't like it, you go away. I believe Patreon goes beyond that. I believe it is intended for good-hearted fans of whatever you're doing. And us as creators have to give the means to keep our work interesting, so people stay by our side. That's why i find it weird when other creators offer "one time rewards" like drawings and stuff when people join them. Patreon is a long term thing, you need long term rewards that keep people hooked to them. But then again, if your audience is loyal enough, maybe even that is just enough. About posting low res ones, I think that's the strongest point of my idea, if I don't post low res ones, there will be NOTHING to repost, until i release the comic for sale. and i think that's pretty neat.

Very cool idea.

Anonymous

I'm for this.

Anonymous

I believe this would do the job quite nicely.

Lemalas

It sounds cool but can you hold off on the blacklisting from last month 'cause I had some other subscription stuff come out (wow, anime, etc) and it destroyed my bank so I think maybe one strike or something 'cause I'm waiting for me paycheck this paetron thing is new

Ian Wolfe

Some people have no honor... I am fine with this.

kennoarkkan

Mr lemalas, you haven't been here long enough to actually contribute any money, nothing has been charged to you. As such, you won't recieve any page updates until next month, if you stay with us of course! You'll get any pages you've missed, don't worry!

Vivian of Ultimate Evil

Seems like a good idea! I seem to have all of the pages of of After Hours 3 so far in HR with those two in the PM, so I'm perfectly happy with this.

kennoarkkan

thanks for all your input guys <3
