Important announcement for future supporters!

I am making a few new rules for anyone who wants to support me and I have to do the best to my ability to see through with it:  

From now on, anyone who supports will not get any perks (including the invite to the Discord server) until AFTER they have had at least one month of payment go through.

Also, if you do cancel your support, you MUST let me know either in the server, in a DM on Discord or any other site you can contact me on.  If you cancel without telling me or do not leave the server yourself, you will not only be kicked from the server, you will be banned permanently and blocked on Patreon and other social media I can find you on.

I was a fool for not thinking of this before, though I trusted all my supporters to understand to not trick me into joining the server.  It seems Patreon does not send you any notification when someone quits their support because for the past 2 years, a user by the name of BronyPony880 has been doing this under the radar.

Another patron of mine contacted me on Discord earlier letting me know that BronyPony880 had recently been outed as a pedophile with screenshots of disgusting messages he posted on Discord about being attracted to minors and admiring his underage neighbor.  Being the reasonable person I am, I decided to not jump to conclusions and ban him right away, so I reached out to ask him if it was really him in the screenshots I was shown and not just doctored imagery.  Only a few minutes later, I decided to check my patron support list and found out that he was no longer a patron.  To make matters worse, he started his support on July 20th of 2019 and then cancelled it on July 28th of the exact same year.  I did not get a single dollar from him yet I had him in my server the entire time.  Obviously he was banned and blocked right away.

Sorry it had to come to this, but I really should have known better than to allow invites to a server before the first payment.  I supported someone in the past who had a server for Patreon supporters and if I recall correctly, I believe that person let people in the server before the first payment, so I guess I didn't see the problem in doing so.  Now that I've seen what BronyPony880 did, I have to follow through with waiting for the payment as difficult as it may be.

So just to reiterate, you don't get anything until the first payment goes through and you have got to let me know if you are going to cancel your support, otherwise you're banned.
