Pledge Manipulation - Solution
🕑 Added 2015-06-06 20:29:10 +0000 UTC After receiving good constructive feedback from fans and supporters, I've decided how to keep the value of the $1 pledge tier amid pledge manipulation. I want to thank everyone who replied for their input.What I'm going to do is maintain things as they are, but hold a few images and sketches in "reserve" until the end of pledge processing, then release them as links to all pledgers at $1+ as weblinks in their Patreon inbox. It's the same way I release comics to the $6+ pledge tiers. While I'm sure there will still be images taken and circulated, at least this is a measure whereby those who actually are contributing money will get a bit more than those who are simply gaming the system.
The result is that nobody in the $1 tier will be getting any less than they already do, now.
Thanks for all of your inputs, again!

....Thats one of the most scummy things I've ever heard.
Considering I know people who buy the Indie Humble Bundle for 1 cent and then resell all the games at huge markups...yeah, asshats don't surprise me anymore.
This is a very good way to do it! :-)

If this is the best solution, I'm all for it. I just want to see your art, even if you hold off the good stuff until the end of the month.

Wouldn't dream of it!

Thank you for not punishing the $1 tier for something that assholes are doing.

I approve of this.

Glad to hear ya got it all sorted. Sorta scummy that people would manipulate pledges like that....Doubly so when the lowest tier pledge is only a dollar. Its mind boggling why anyone would do that.

What? No. Everything will be the same, I'll just hold some things back and only share them with *all* tiers after processing.

So will $6+ patrons see those images normally in the feed, while $1's will have to wait for links?
