Turning on "Charge up front" for Dec (Patreon)

I've tried to resist doing this, but I've gotten a ton of 'hit and run' type activity this month (that is when people subscribe, get the rewards, then unsubscribe) and its just getting out of hand. As this grows and people become more aware of the patreon, I expect if I don't turn it on, such activity will continue.

This shouldn't affect any current subscribers, and I'm turning it on during this billing cycle (Dec 1st) so no one who is currently a patreon shouldn't notice any disruption or difference at all (i hope). It will only affect those who are new subscribers. New subscribers will have to pay up front for the month they subscribe for, and then be billed as standard. For more information, see here:

If you change your pledge amount, however, you will be charged the difference (if you are pledging more), as soon as you change it.

I'm grateful and appreciate each and every one of you who've been here, supporting me over the years, and I just don't think its fair, to me, or you that people are taking advantage of a loophole in Patreon's system. So, there you have it. If you have questions, or concerns, do feel free to message me or comment.

Hope that's clear as mud.
