High Number of Declines
Added 2018-08-02 19:33:24 +0000 UTCSo, recently Patreon's payment processor has moved from a US based one to a UK based one, which has resulted in a lot of US payments getting blocked by banks on fraud suspicions. This was completely unintended. As a result, atm nearly 25% of my patrons are currently declined.
You're able to resolve the decline by updating your payment information or contacting your bank to clear the charge. Patreon has acknowledged the issue as well.
Additionally, if you notice say, your role is missing from the discord server, or you can't access posts, check to make sure that your pledge went through.

That was loooong ago. Paypal and Patreon reached an agreement like early 2016 / late 2015. The issue now actually has to do with banks and credit cards out of the US.

2018-08-02 23:26:58 +0000 UTCThere was an announcement that "PayPal could not be used to pay for NSFW pledges" as well. Thing is, all the pledges I make are pretty much NSFW, I only use PayPal and, all of my pledges went through.
2018-08-02 23:26:35 +0000 UTCI actually got a the notice my self about 1 week ago that patreon was a fraudulent thing and I had to clear it with my banks fraud department
