A note about tiers and unlocking posts
Added 2022-10-16 07:59:02 +0000 UTCHi,
Some patrons have been having an issue where they joined the Supporter tier, expecting to be able to download TittyMagic early access or alpha releases. It turns out that Patreon directs new visitors to the Supporter tier when clicking on the Join Now button on a locked post, without even offering to join the Enthusiast tier or showing the tier names, descriptions and benefits.
Originally those release posts were released for all patrons rather than to a specific tier, so in some sense I could've seen that coming. My apologies for the confusion!
Given the (in my opinion) very bad design of the Join Now functionality:
- previous release posts have been edited to only be visible on the Enthusiast tier
- future release posts will be published directly to the Enthusiast tier
Joining via a release post's Join Now button should now put a new patron on the correct tier where they can also download the content.
However, this means previous posts are now locked away from the Supporter tier, which wasn't my original intent. The idea with the Supporter tier was to provide access not just to WIP posts, but also the ability to see all of the details of what is being released with new early access and alpha releases. I still want to offer this option for future release posts, I'll just have to think of another way of doing it.
Thanks!
