Well, that blows
Added 2019-07-10 17:39:20 +0000 UTCYesterday, two of my Doodle Club patrons mysteriously disappeared.
They didn't cancel their pledge; they simply vanished and their profile pages no longer exist. I contacted Patreon to ask what happened and they said the patrons were removed for "fraud" (whatever that means...) But the problem is, they weren't completely removed. Despite no longer existing on Patreon, these two patrons are still sitting in my patron list, and the Doodle Club is showing as "sold out" on the front page. I can't sell those slots to new, actual Patrons as long as these two deleted accounts are still occupying them. I don't know if I need to go in there and manually block these fakes in order to remove them .. I've asked Patreon Help again, and while I wait for an answer, my earnings total is now $20 less than it was - which puts us below the threshold where I do 3 Zandar pages per month .. so, unless new pledges come in the next 24 hours to boost the number back above $600, instead of posting tomorrow, the next page will be on the 15th and FA will not get a 2nd page this month.

Okay, well .. thanks. Even though you're already paying more than your share .. (I guess now that means I have to grind out the next page tomorrow after all)
2019-07-10 21:41:47 +0000 UTCYou shouldn't have to. I've got over 3,000 watchers on FA, and my posts there usually get approximately 300 views within the first day. Every post I remind 'em that this Patreon exists, and still .. only 72 patrons. What am I doing wrong? Anyway, I'm grateful to all of you guys for your generosity .. I'm earning more than I ever seriously expected, to be honest.
2019-07-10 21:39:23 +0000 UTCwell i bumped my pledge to add a tip. I hope it helps.

2019-07-10 19:30:51 +0000 UTCSadly, I don't think I can bump up my pledge to be part of the Super Secret Double First Class level (or else I already would have even without this prompting), so I don't think I can offer anything to salvage this potential loss.
