Patreon got worse? (Patreon)

I got so MANY deleted pledges this month, and a good part of those were people that, at least this is what Patreon tells me, withdrawn their very first 1$ pledges. My first thought was "ok, these are the usual people trying to sneak by, get the early access and not pay a cent"

I blocked a few users. One of them contacted me on deviantart and told me there have been troubles with credit cards being blocked. What shocks me is that Patreon always displays a "pending" status when the plege isn't complete and is still processing. Since I got lots of "deleted" it looks like people deliberately chose not to offer even that single dollar they pledged at the very beginning of their patronage.

Can you confirm this? Have you been blocked by Patreon or was that the only weird episode and there's been a mass pledge deletion?
