In fact, it is better if the author is not part of the thread, you can pass content from Patreon, you can make the content public on Patreon, that is if someone is going to have to pay for it and that's where things are difficult hahaha
When the original author is the publisher, he has a certain level of control of the thread, but if it is not the author who opened it and publishes the content, he is free to do whatever he wants.
