Hello folks! Sorry to bother you on a Thursday but I figured I better get you guys in the loop on what's happened.

Yesterday my account on Patreon was suspended [ you may not have even noticed ]. This is my fault, I wasn't clear enough on the rules of off-platform activity. The old artwork on my personal website violates Patreon's TOS, and because I had clear links from that website to Patreon, it fell under their jurisdiction.

A member of the Patreon guidelines crew contacted me and told me to remove the links between the websites. I immediately complied with the request and applied for a review.

My review was quickly performed and with the links all removed, my account has been found to be once again in compliance with the rules, and the suspension has been lifted 🎉

I admit, I'm feeling very happy with Patreon's customer service in this regard. They were very fair and responded quickly to me. It makes me feel safer to be operating here, knowing that my account wont simply be wiped- but I'll just enter a cooperative talk with them during a suspension to fix any violations.

Now, the main reason I'm writing this post is because during my single day of suspension, Patreon was not charging any of my followers. If you are hoping to get on the credits this month, and you just happened to have your automatic charge come out yesterday, you may have been missed. I'm not sure exactly how the system works in that regard to be honest. But, it might be worth checking to make sure you're still subscribed to my page if you want to be.

Aside from that, business continues as usual! Back to work for me!

WOOO! I was literally so scared omgggg I saw the notice yesterday and I was panicking LOL I didn't know how else to find your stuff or other websites you post! I'm so glad your back!

Sly

Thank God for your other site that kept us in the loop. This game is my hyperfixation so I was ready to follow you to whichever pay site you went. Glad youre back Gato 👏👏🥳

Anjelea Fisher

Oh man, that must have been scary! I'm glad to hear that they do have a system in place that allows for notification and explanation of why you received the suspension and you had a chance to correct the issue (and I'm glad the issue was a simple fix). I am curious as to how they found out? Lol, like I doubt they just happened across it? But maybe they did, idk XD (also, looking at your personal site, seeing all the 'funding website' is just kinda funny to me XD I think it would only be funnier if you had instead put ****** as a redacted thing hahahaha but that was probably a hassle to go throug? Was crtl+f available?? lol)

Gatobob

My guess is that they may have a bot or human that periodically checks the analytics of where traffic is coming from. I know they have that data because I can even see it on my own account. If I saw the name of the website in the analytics I would definitely check for violations LMAO

Echooo

Absolutely terrifying thing to experience, but I'm so glad that you were able to to get it resolved so quickly! A lot of this stuff can be such a grey area, and at least with the change, now you'll be more protected by complying to the guidelines moving forward. If you're worried about still allowing people to find your website, it might not be breaking the rules to merely mention the name of the website in your posts "I've added more artwork to my Dirty Murder Games website" etc? (or maybe it would, idk, probably best to err on the side of caution!) Either way, I'm glad Patreon is being understanding and working with you!

Phroggo

I had no idea that was a thing! Glad your back- that spooked me

Leo ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✨

I did notice was very worried about you and your account. Thank you for writing this post to clear up the air, and that your experience with the Patreon staff actually proved to be very constructive. I'm honestly relieved and happy for you to be back. 🥰

Gatobob

I already went through all of my old patreon posts and removed every mention of the website before my review :D Just to be safe!
