@Lorne-Kates So someone decided to go "Fuck you, no one should give you money"? Spoilsports. It's such an elegant business model, too. Cuts right through the bullshit of most crowdfunding attempts.
-
@Lorne-Kates No complaints came from me: I was happily paying into it
-
Wasn't me, but...
-
I didn't even know you had a Patreon. I thought you were still using indiegogo or whatever it was.

That was shut down ages ago

How many times? I recall there being at least two.
-
@Dreikin I thought the second was a Kickstarter?

If only it was in the signature of every one of my posts... :/

Kickstarter cancelled, Indigogo cancelled, and GoFundMe had two (one of which would have netted me $20 but I messed up the payment info)

Hey @Lorne-Kates, I think your signature needs updating.

And that's why it being in the signature was no help - I just assumed it was the same link and skipped over it.

I'm not sure I did. The Patreon was set to "collect money until a pool of, like, $20 builds up, then pay out".
They better refund any collected funds or pay out.
-
@Lorne-Kates google adsense is famous for only checking if you followed the rules when you have a good payment coming, then cancel your account and rob your money. Maybe they do the same.
-
@Lorne-Kates What makes you think it was one of us?
Patreon likely refers to all of its users as "patrons."
-
@powerlord and all those creepy lurkers out there

What the fuck for?
Patreon is used by a lot of content providers.
You were a content provider for me.... "the lols".
Is it because of the "fuck you" part, because that would be really bad legally?
You can ban someone from forums for stuff like that, but with patreon, money is involved.
-

If I had paid in, I would seriously be looking into this.

So do they actually tell you what you did that was "wrong"? Or do they just keep your money tell you to piss off?

Much like how YouTube doesn't tell you why they suspended your account, Patreon doesn't provide any information about why they cancelled your campaign.

Fuck you, don't take your money
-
is what it tells me. Never mind that other pledges did go through, it must clearly be my payment information that's the problem.
-
@Arantor Same here
-
This looks like the guideline you fell foul of:
You also canât use Patreon as a prank or to fund non-activity.
Patreon is not for pornography
Doesn't stop some people.
-
@RaceProUK said in Which one of you assholes did this?:
to fund non-activity
Why not? If you can find idiots willing to pay you for nothing why not let them?

Probably some holier-than-thou bullshit about how Patreon is 'for the artists' or something.
-

That's the actual wording on Patreon.

But, how do they know it's non activity. Like I said, several Patreons are for YouTube personalities.
Like I said, I find @Lorne-Kates highly entertaining.

This is correct. "Your patrons" are people who back you, but "patrons" are anyone who is backing anyone.

Complaints.
So, someone is a self-righteous bastard poking their nose where it isn't needed.
I mean, I'd get a Patreon promising things and not delivering. That would warrant shutting down.
But donors to LK got exactly what he promised.
-
Did it say in the Patreon description that you don't do anything?
-
If it's non activity that's the issue, surely all Loren needs to do is periodically copy posts from here into Patreon, job done?
-

Maybe we need to create a
Lorne-Patrons
group where Lorne can post exclusive patron only content?
Filed under: To then be pasted to the funny stuff thread
-
@Onyx Make it into tiers.
He creates a a few pay level groups here that he invites members when they donate.
Then a public thread where he posts content if the total donation gets to a certain point.But that's actual work, and probably missing the point.
-

Eh, just have a bot tag random posts with "Tier N" tags.
-
@Onyx Can you restrict a certain post to a certain group. I thought it was only threads...
-
@Onyx said in Which one of you assholes did this?:

The posts could just say âFuck youâ or âGive me moneyâ randomly. That'd save having to actually think about what content to put in.
-
@xaade Don't think so, but if you treat them as Kickstarter goals...
Bah, this is all too much thinking, if people happily paid either way, fuck Patreon for messing with it.

Efficient content generation!
-
@Onyx We should start a thread where we post like we're other people....
-
@xaade better still, let's use a forum software that supports alts efficiently to do so.

I have, however, experienced multiple erections while reading Lorne's masterful posts. So, I mean, it delivered more than most kickstarters...
