Adult Content Crackdown
Right so on the 17th October 2017 the patreon 'Guidelines' were changed as regards adult producers, the terms themselves are here for your perusal:

What we have now is a lot of creators panicking, a lot of scaremongering, a lot of confusion, a lot of anger etc etc. (Allegedly) there have been page closures, others have been severly restricted (allegedly). I'm fine so far and I personally have not nor observed anyone in my pledges or follow list have these.
Despite this I have took steps in order to protect myself and patreon from any liability. Namely I have restricted nudity to patron only posts, I have posted a disclaimer on my about page (do take a look), I have ensured my profile pic is no longer a very shapely butt etc etc.
Personally I think this is being overblown and people are worrying overmuch BUT it doesn't hurt to take some steps.
I just thought I would let you know.

Oh darn.. I loved that avatar :(
Ah you and your butt fetish. :-)
RIP butt avatar
Well, they are happy with their political correctness, and now creators don't show anything for free. That makes me sad, I often come here to look other's creations, public posts made for showing their progress, thei ideas... now I must be at least a 1$ pledger of 20+ adult content creators I follow with interest, and sadly I haven't that cash. I'm not that kind of user who come here just to take free stuff, I come here to see other's ideas and art, to take hints for my hobby. But now I will not be able to even follow projects properly, I mean, EVERY single post they made is for adults only or NSFW, even if certain is already censored by the creator, and I won't be able to see anything? I am already imagining the main page filled with "$1+ Patreon only post", and me scrolling down, reading about nothing of what I like to create too, not digitally yet.
Exactly, i look at other creators stuff for inspiration and ideas and now its just going to be locked grey boxes, or stuff with just text.
Thank you man
Just another company that has to conform to the reglious right (which is neither) I read the update they just want all adult stuff hidden
Some people are saying it's the religious right, some people are saying it's a left wing feminist group, others are saying it's the government. Either way, it's happened.
