POLL-new Patreon Tier/Eliminating Old Tier? (Patreon)

Hey everybody, before I put up the results of the first story poll and get the second one up (both of that will probably happen tomorrow), I wanted to get your thoughts on an idea I had.

After talking to several other creators and looking at some data collected by Patreon itself, I have been considering deleting my $1 tier and raising it to $2. Not a big change, but I wanted to let everyone know about it before I ultimately made a decision. I know that most of my supporters here are on the $1 tier, and I am very grateful to all of you-having this Patreon got me through a tough financial period last year when I didn't have a conventional job, and even now that I have one again, it is still a big help in keeping me financially secure.

Now, the new tier wouldn't offer any additional benefits, it would just replace the $1 tier. However, going forward when I set up story polls, I will make two posts-one with just the options, and one for people on the voting tier to actually cast their votes. I want everyone to see what is being voted on, so they can decide about maybe raising their pledge to help their favorite idea win and also so they are simply kept informed. But I've had problems in the past with people voting who shouldn't have been and that made it more difficult for me to do an accurate count. 

So please let me know what you think, both by voting and leaving whatever thoughts you have about this in the comments. I look forward to seeing your responses and once again, I'm very thankful to all of you for your continued support.
