Pre-emptive Measures (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone!tl;dr I'm removing a lot of posts (but the Dropboxes will remain intact) and setting up a Discord server.I've been hearing some concerning rumblings about Patreon tightening the noose on kinky creators. Even though my content is known for generally being pretty tame, and I always try to give my 'damsel in distress' pieces some in-universe context (and maybe a tongue-in-cheek joke or two ;p ), I'm worried that some of the Fanart Vote Winners pieces could still draw me some bad attention from the people in charge.I already met the "Patreon Trust & Safety" staff a year ago when my page got temporarily suspended for having a NSFW banner and they were pleasant enough, so if any trouble should occur again I'm hopeful that it'll be sorted out without too much fuss...Still, I'm feeling a little jittery so I'm gonna take two pre-emptive measures:
1. Over the course of the next 24 hours, I'm going to be editing and/or deleting a LOT of posts - the idea being that when I'm done, no content that Patreon might disagree with will be hosted on their servers. Of course, all of the pictures will still exist in the monthly dropbox links, which aren't going anywhere, so no need to start going through the Patreon feed and saving all the pictures - this isn't like a DeviantArt 'gallery purge'.
2. I'm setting up a Discord server. I'd been avoiding this since I know not everybody has Discord or wants to have to add ANOTHER server to their list, but it currently seems to be one of the better ways to distribute content. As such, it's not going to be a 'general discussion' server with rooms for anime/gaming etc - just a few tiered rooms for me to post stuff to, and one or two feedback rooms.As far as I understand, once I link the server with Patreon it will automatically 'import' you into the correct role, assuming you have your account linked. There'll no doubt be some technical difficulties here so I'll try my best to stay on top of things manually, too.
I know that neither of these are ideal, and apologize for the hassle.Thanks as always for your support!
