Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for the support!
This is an announcement for my Discord server which you, as patrons, have access to for pledging. My Patreon Bot in my server assigns the "patrons" role to those who have linked their Discord with Patreon.
Some of you have not linked your Discord or have linked an account that you aren't using in my server so when you join, you aren't assigned a role. I am totally fine giving you your role. However, it makes it very hard to track when some of you unpledge. The problem with this is that I post Patreon exclusive content into the server on occasion and some people who aren't currently pledged have access since the Patreon Bot doesn't work with Patrons who haven't linked their Discord or their correct Discord to their Patreon account.
You guys are very supportive and pay part of your livelihood to support me so from now on, I will not be assigning roles manually for the sake of expressing my gratitude to those who are still paying. Instead, I will let my Bot only distribute the roles.
To make sure you all get the "patrons" Discord role earned through pledging, I have provided steps below to both access my Discord upon pledging, access my Discord after pledging, and how to link your Discord to your Patreon account. The guide below is borrowed from and belongs to Patreon Support (there's also an FAQ on the linked page): https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-How-do-I-receive-my-Discord-role-
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but I want to be fair to my paying Patrons. Have a great day!
❤ Pan

How do I get my Discord role when I become a patron?
Step 1: Make sure you’re in the right Tier. If you made a “custom pledge,” instead of joining a Tier, you’ll not be assigned any Discord roles.
Step 2: After you confirm your payment amount, and Tier selection, you’ll be taken to your creator’s Thanks page. If you’re already connected to your Discord account on Patreon, click “View on Discord.”
If you haven’t connected your Patreon account to Discord yet, click the option to “Connect to Discord.”
Step 3: If your Discord account is already connected, clicking the "View on Discord" option will open a browser window to Discord, where you can log in and see the server.If you haven't connected to Discord, clicking "Connect to Discord,"will take you to the Apps tab of your profile settings page. Click the button to “Connect” next to Discord, and log in to your Discord account.
Don’t have a Discord account yet? Select the option to “Register” in the pop-up window that appears, and follow the prompts.
Step 4: Now that your Patreon and Discord accounts are communicating, our integration will assign you the role tied to your Tier!
You can access your new role by logging in to your Discord account.
