Patreon Billing Fail
🕑 Added 2018-08-02 21:53:46 +0000 UTC Apparently there was a bit of a fail on the backend at Patreon and a certain number of Patreons are being flagged as fraud. They apparently switched banks which caused this. Hopefully it's fixed soon.So if you just got flagged as fraudulent, that's apparently why and they should be reaching out to you. Looking at my own logs, it seems only 5-10% of you were effected.
Hopefully all fixed soon, sorry for the screw up. Just a heads up I have nothing to do with it, your account should be fine, Patreon messed up and they've recently owned it. The worst part is, you may have been auto-kicked from the channel, as my Patreon count just dropped along with this mistake. Hopefully that is all sorted as well.

Yeah... I dashed to my computer yesterday worried (I have 3 projects Im supporting counting this one). Looks like my bank wasnt affected by this one but no idea what happened.
Yeah there are certainly some options there. Don't think id want to deal with the legal aspects, nor do I have the time to replicate what Patreon provides. Patreon keep screwing up, but keep existing because they are the best option out there
I was wondering about this after the whole armory game engine incident. Since you can make your own website why not make a subscription system and use stripe/paypal? If you do that you do not need to use patreon and maybe these problems go away. Now I know accepting payments on a website bring their own set of challenges but it is an alternative to patreon.
