Patreon has added a charge-up-front feature that is now available. So I am moving to that right away. This will not effect any existing patrons, just new pledges. But the good news is that since it will essentially kill fake pledges, I can now issue rewards instantly as I complete art, and you guys no longer have to wait until a new art pack comes out.

Bout damn time they did this. Would have nipped a slew of issues with the site in the bud, and saved a lot of consternation from the folks I support. Glad to hear it.

Doe that mean old patrons have to cancel their old pledge and make a new pledge to take advantage of the charge immediately option?

No, according to Patreon, nothing should change. ============= How will this feature change how your patrons are charged? New Patrons: New Patrons will be charged on the day they pledge. They will be charged on the 1st of the month for their next charge and all following charges. Example: A patron pledges to Jack (a Patreon creator) on February 25th for $10 per month. They will be charged $10 on the day they pledge, February 25th, for February patronage. On March 1st, the Patron will be charged $10 for March patronage. Existing Patrons: Your existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual. Example: A patron pledges to Jack (a Patreon creator) on January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th Jack changes his campaign so that patrons are charged upfront. The patron will be charged $10 on March 1st for March patronage. If an existing patron increases their pledge, they will be charged the difference between their last pledge value, and the new pledge value. On the 1st of the month (and every 1st of the month thereafter) they will be charged the full amount of their pledge until they cancel or edit their pledge. Example: A patron pledges to Jack (a Patreon creator) on January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th Jack changes his campaign so that patrons are charged upfront. On February 26th the patron increases their pledge to $15. The patron will be charged $5 on February 26th. Then the patron will be charged $15 on March 1st for March patronage and they will continue to be charged $15 every 1st of the month thereafter until the patron cancels or edits their pledge.
