(If you're an already existing patron, this does not affect you in the slightest. You will not be charged again/twice in the same month with this change. However, feel free to check on the details if you'd like to know how it works!)

Haven't gone through the change just yet.But i think this method would be good to avoid bot spam now and in the future.
