Hi! You can expect a longer request post tonight (30-31 Images) of VTuber Silvervale, but for now I'd like to get your thoughts on something.
TLDR at the end.
You might've noticed that Patreon suspended my Page for a day, which was because of the way I did raffles/requests. You're not allowed to leave it to chance/luck (falls under their gambling TOS), so I had to remove that to get my Page back up.
For those who weren't here from the start, my Tier 3 started from being limited to a specific amount of people a month at first, which had a few major flaws. 1. A lot of the time people wouldn't answer a DM from me so I wouldn't get a thing to work on in time. 2. People wouldn't leave the Tier so I wouldn't get new requesters. 3. Even if they left the Tier, the Tier would sometimes still stay full and no one else could join it.
Because this method didn't really work well for me, I switched to first come first serve basis (first to comment on a post I made). This method is still possible, as anything that isn't left to luck is within Patreon's guidelines. The issue with this method though is, and what a lot of people had with it at the time, is that it requires you to have your notification on and be always prepared to get the first comment in. This method can work, but it's kind of stressful for the members.
This leads me to ask you guys for thoughts on how the Tier 3 benefits should be done. I'll leave this open for Tier 1-2s to comment on as well.
Currently my Options Are:
Rework Tier 3 into something different (could be perhaps an extra post or something)
Rework Requests in a way that doesn't leave it to luck (perhaps I leave a comment section open, and the most liked comment idea I will message to get a request. This idea I quite like, because that means it'll be both a liked character/idea by more people, but also be personalised for the requester.)
In this comment section I'd like to hear of any ideas for how you would like requests to be done, or thoughts on the #1 and #2 options. You can also bring up general ideas for benefits that you as a Tier1-2 would like to see to get you join Tier 3, and for Tier 3 what would make you stay/you would like to see.
TLDR: Patreon suspended my Page for a day, because you cannot do Raffles (the way I did requests in Tier 3). I'm looking for ideas for future benefits of Tier 3. Current ideas are outlined above as 1. and 2. Leave below comments for ideas of benefits that you'd like to see in Tier 3. I will likely poll this once I've gathered feedback.
