> ... whether it was something I (unknowingly) did or if it was a mistake. > I realized Patreon has every right to do this. While true. I don't suspect that I would have had this much restraint. I applaud the author for resisting what must have been the urge to make a statement against Patreon, I can't help but to think it should be stronger about who as at fault here. > (Update: Patreon notified me that my email has been unblocked and I can start a new page from scratch. Apparently it was a mistake. Armory will continue to be funded on this page to stay safe.) At least they are voting with their wallet and not just going back to the platform. This is an awful response by Patreon. I can't believe this don't have a way to restore backers and content. They really need to make a whole new page from scratch? What the heck? Best practice is first you suspend, give a chance for the person to respond, then you terminate after 30 / 60 / 90 days. Full deletion immediately seems like a bad software design choice. This reminds me of the old (?) days of Paypal freezing accounts with no recourse. I could understand if someone considered this theft. Theft of future earnings in this case (past earnings in the case of Paypal). Am I alone in thinking companies that handle money should be held to a higher standard?
