Paypal Notification
You will ALWAYS show up as “declined” if you try to use PayPal to pledge to any Patreon account that is deemed NSFW, and you WON’T get an alert about it most of the time.
Additionally, if you’re still not able to pledge and the money isn’t getting taken from your account, it’s highly likely that your bank is internally flagging Patreon as fraudulent transactions, so you’ll need to go to your bank IRL and actually tell them that it’s ok to let Patreon transactions through.

^ To clarify already existing pledges made with Paypal will contine to work or does for me atleast but I cant make changes anylonger to already existing pledges or make new ones to "NSFW" content using Paypal.
I have used Paypal for multiple adult patreons for multiple months now. The money is withdrawn from my bank account every month and it seems to me like it works fine. I'd be surprised otherwise, because neither Paypal nor Patreon ever notified me. And where would my money go otherwise?
This works because you either 1) Got extremely lucky and managed to get it past the system through sheer accident or 2) You live in the EU or 3) The creator of this game lives in the EU, where PayPal is treated differently and the transactions will go through.
^ correct sucks I know was using paypal aswell switched to credit card now.
Hmm so the only way for me is via Paypal wich means i wont be able to help pledge at all. If i see that right?
For the record as of now last time it pledged for me using paypal was 1 of may for me but I can no longer make changes to existing pledges regardless, do you know if you can tell your bank to let patreon through in advance (before it shows up on account history) so you dont have to wait for 1 month? cause that is quite bothersome.
