The "Declined" Contagion (Patreon)

_____________________________________________________
UPDATE 1:
It seems to be a problem with Patreon as a whole.
They seem to be fixing it right now:

I'll update you guys with more news as I get them.

UPDATE 2:
Looks like it was fixed. All previously Declineds went back to Pending. If you get declined again, there is a real problem with your Billingg Info and Patreon will send you a new email about it.

Something unprecedented and disturbing is happening today:
The majority of pledges (including many from long-term members) are being declined for some reason.

I usually get around 25% declines every month, but right now I'm getting numbers around 70%, which make absolutely no sense and make me very worried.

I can't see any reason for it happening, unless many of you are pledging through Paypal, which is not allowed by Patreon for NSFW projects.

So, if you get a message from Patreon noticing your pledge has been declined, know that it's happening to a lot of patrons and you should update BOTH your pledges AND Credit Card billing information in order for them to retry once more.

I highly recommend that you do it as soon as possible in order to receive the comics on the release date (July, 5th). Otherwise, I won't be able to send your reward until your contribution is processed.

I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, but know that I'm the most interested one on getting the financial matters out of the way quickly so I can go back and devote my time to working on the actual comics, which is what I'm actually here for.

Thank you all for your patience.
Kindly,
-Tracy.
