Content

Hello there Wolves! A small notice but an important one I wanted to make. While I've received many new pack members which I really appreciate! I love your continuous support. I also have to mention that I've had a lot of leavers through the past month.

That means many have pledged just to cancel their pledge days after after (presumably) taking much (if not all) the content away, which is not fair for me and for the people who are paying. This is always an issue. But when the numbers are this high (around 50+) you're forced to take measures.

In order to filter art thieves from real patrons that probably had an issue and had to quit, I can only assume based on their actions and history. That means people who have never gone through a pledge before, that means  their "lifetime support record" is 0 and pledged and left the same month without leaving any note behind to why, are most likely to get banned and blocked from this gallery.

This a public post, so if you happen to be one of those but you genuinely had issues and had to withdraw your pledge, you can contact me at licantro@gmail.com or through a pm here at Patreon.

I'll proceed to take this action tomorrow. I hope you understand.  I'm sorry to bring these unwanted news to those who have nothing to do with, but is part of the job. 

That's all for now, and again always a huge thank you to all of you the true patrons that make this possible.

How can people who pledge take your art away, or do you mean downloading then cancel. I know of some who did this because of your inability to stay on task and they didn't know if you would be gone again for months at a time. I assume some did it to steal, I would suggest that stimmy this in the future that you not leave for months without giving word like you have done previously. I know a lot of content creators who have continually made content even when they go through tough times, because they had an obligation to the paterons who are paying. Disappearing for long periods does not help you and now your are starting to see why. I'm not saying this to be mean but to convey the importance of being in a business, and yes this is considered a business even if you don't feel like it is.

Well, it’s good that the problems did not concern us, but it’s okay that you reported this in a public post.

I appreciate your point of view, but one thing has nothing to do with the other. My post is towards people who cancel almost immediately and have done it repeatedly, not towards those who pledged while I was away.

Most unfortunate that matters have gotten to that point with you. Still reasonable measures to take against those that simply seek to dine and dash with you.

Really sorry you are dealing with this. You might also want to consider reporting some of these individuals to other artists or any "Artists Beware" type sight that might support such reporting. Banning them now only protects you from a more future abuse from specific individuals, spreading general awareness protects other artists who may in turn help you protect yourself from those who have tried to defraud them.

-__- Well that's just revolting. I thought Patreon had set it up that you have to pay the first month immediately to even gain access to creator's content. Either that or force new followers to wait until the first payment to gain access. Neither popular but if things that this keep getting out of hand we might have to deal with it.\

What about if we can’t make the payments and we have to cancel but when we get the money we come back would we then be kicked?
