Upfront payment for better rewards POLL!

Ok, so, people have been asking me for a long time if I ever wanted to switch our pledge payment to an up-front method (you get charged as you become a patron and beginning of the month, instead of at the end). 

For a long time I felt like it was not necessary, as I never really cared if people "fake pledged" and cancelled at the last minute (to get the perks, but never pledge). But there are a few reasons why now it could finally matter.

We want to implement new exciting rewards for Patrons who support us, however these rewards would only work well if they were only available to honest users who do pledge.

---------------------------------------------

Here's a list of reasons why up-front payment would be good for us:

• A new feature that allows true Patrons to have a closeup looks at our tasks and development progress!

• A new feature that allows true Patrons to vote in polls on our website where your votes can count for more (+1,2,3,4,5) votes depending on your Patron Tier! High roller Patron votes would count for more!

• A new feature that allows high Tier Patrons to add custom dialogues to unique characters in-game!

• Filter out people who are fake pledging from Discord High Roller channel

• Allowing only true Patrons to use the private download links on releases

-------------------------------------------------

There are no downsides to using the paying up-front method, other than preventing users from scamming our pledging reward system. Which isn't a downside (except for scammers).

But I wanted to make a poll about this change, to make sure you guys are on board first! I'd like to know your thoughts.

Thanks!
