I opened a Patreon account for one reason and that was to support L. I have not logged into my account since they suspended L. Yesterday I received an email from Patreon stating my account had been disabled due to suspicious activity. So, I was curious what this suspicious activity may be but I could not gain access to my account. I contacted "support" questioning this "suspicious activity" and asking how I can gain access to my account in order to review the activity. I answered all of their questions and jumped through all of their hoops but they answered none of my questions and summarily closed my account citing their "terms and conditions" granting them the right to suspend or close an account for ANY reason. I still have not figured out through their communications what THAT reason may be.
Patreon can suck it!

Hi there, We do not release information regarding our detection methods. To inform people of what activity could be considered suspicious and trigger a review of the accounts would give bad actors the ability to bypass our detection methods and make our community unsafe. While we understand your concerns in this matter, we can not release the information you are asking about. Additionally, we are unable to comment on the specific details regarding our account removal process. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. All the best, Patreon Trust & Safety Monday - Friday
Patreon reply usual arrogant bullshit which is a zero answer! Like anything in this world there are lots of alternatives. Here are some excellent suggestions:
Of course we all want every possible support for L who puts so much time and effort into researching. She has earned and deserves all support possible. Wishing you good luck with this outstanding list. All the best, God bless!
