Some Bad News (Maybe)
🕑 Added 2023-08-27 16:46:26 +0000 UTCPatreon has requested I verify my information in order to keep posting "adult" themed material. That's ok, I don't mind, BUT, they want me to verify every patron's age in writing. I do hope everyone is over 18 years of age, but I am not comfortable asking you all to provide me proof. They are requesting your driver's license, passport or other State issued proof. So, I am asking you all what YOUwould like to do. Note, I have set up a Subscribestar Adult account, but they recommend $5 per month. As here, I will only charge when I've uploaded a minimum of 8 images. I will NOT use a recurring charge system. Please let me know what you'd like to do. I will keep the Patreon site open as long as I can. However, I will discontinue updating and charging beginning October, pending the results of this poll.

The funny thing is this is related to billing. Patreon is abiding by a third party billing requirement (I think a Master Card Requirement). Here's where it's funny - if there's no money being exchanged, there's no requirement. Another option I suppose is to set up a Pay Wall at DeviantArt. I only charge to make a little cash and to make sure everyone's over 18.

I voted to subscribestar, I have already two subscriptions there. But, i can also show my ID, but i am not from the US.

Thanks for letting me know.

Subscribestar has random issues with credit cards and cookies. At least in the past I gave up supporting at least 2 creators there. Don't know how common these issues are with other countries and all.

Yeah, I think it's another effort to weed out this type of content. Check out: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/8335062384141-Age-Verification-Frequently-Asked-Questions-FAQ-

I don't understand how they are asking you to gather proof and verify all your subscribers' ages - we do that in our subscription profile basically.

I don't mind supplying proof of age.
