After I posted the latest comic page, some people edited their pledges to a lower tier, and some of these were $30 levels. A similar thing happened when I posted the first comic page. It's fine if people want to edit their pledges, but it made me realise I should probably hold off on higher tier rewards until payments process.
I was going to do a stream today, but I think I'm going to wait until payments go through and then hold a private stream for everyone who had their $30 payments process. They will also get access to any private streams the rest of January.
Because Patreon does the 'your pledge goes to the previous month's content' thing, I have to work backwards in figuring out things like streams. Essentially I don't want people pledging $30, watching the streams, and then lowering/dropping their pledge before payment's due. That's unfair to those who will actually pay the full amount.
So when your payments go through at the beginning of January, you'll be invited to all streams in January. Those who join this Patreon in January but their payments aren't processed until February will not get access to streams until February.
I'm sorry if this causes any inconvenience for anyone, but with people editing their pledge amounts right before payment processing, I don't want $30 patrons to feel ripped off if people are getting to see their rewards for 'free'.
Good news is I did some tests last night and the private stream system works beautifully, so that's good :3
