Changing to pay upfront?
Added 2018-07-09 15:41:04 +0000 UTCDon't be alarmed for start I am not yet changing anything that is why I created poll about this. I want you guys to vote if I should do it or not. I will give you all info you need so everything is clear.
If I change to charge upfront nothing will change for you existing patreons. here are exact words from patreon page:
New Patrons: New Patrons will be charged on the day they become your patron, giving them access to all content shared with their reward tier. On the 1st of the following month, they will simply return to being charged monthly at the beginning of the month.
Example: A patron joins your Patreon community on February 25th for $10 per month. They will be charged $10 on the day they join, 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 joins your Patreon community on January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th, you change your payment type so that patrons are charged up front. The patron will be charged $10 on March 1st for March patronage.

This will only help me get rid of frauds that some people do by pledging for 5 min to get content for free and deleting their pledge after...
Anyway before I even consider changing this I wanna ask you guys what you think about it. Please if you need more info read all in their explanation in link I gave here. Also I will make warning for new patreons on my main page here so new patreons are aware that they will be charged upfront so in that case it is best to wait till 1st of month to actually pledge.
I hope that all is clear if you have any questions before you vote don't hesitate to ask me here, or on my discord.
Also if you wish you may leave comment why you don't want me to change or why should I change to charge upfront.

I've always preferred Patreon's that charged upfront myself. This way your not waiting until the next month to get the content you are willing to pay for.
