Is there a point when SS on their own will consider pausing payments to a creator due to inactivity, or does it fully depend on reports from customers?

I guess there could be a point (when enough complaints where filed) that they cancel all subscriptions for an inactive account, but in the first place it's your responsibility to manage your subscriptions and payments.

Nah I could almost guarantee that will never happen. They would lose whatever percentage they take from monthly payments, they make money by not doing anything about creators that are inactive.

That was my initial thought as well and tbh after 5 months of nothing it seems validated, then again I'm also part of the 'problem' and throwing money away since I'm part of the 600ish dollars (before SS's cut) Nef is currently getting. :D

I think it would also be complicated for any support platform (the "money counts" argument above notwithstanding) to actually track down inactive creators since many mostly communicate with their support using third party apps like Discord, and unless Patreon/Subscribestar puts people into these groups they have no idea what's going on there. They might impose some rules like "1 Patreon post per x time", however the "x time" would probably be pretty arbitrary and maybe not a "one size fits all" depending on the type of project you are supporting.

From the SS FAQ:

What should I do if a Star stops posting content?

This is not common but can happen. Normally when a Star puts his/her page on pause there will be a message that explains the situation. In this case, your recurring payment remains frozen (on pause) until the Star returns and resumes their activity. So, you are not being charged for the officially paused subscription.

If the Star has not made an announcement about the pause, you may want to contact this Star and find out what is happening. As a result, you may receive a refund from the Star.

Also, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Furthermore, while canceling, you will be asked for the reason why you wish to cancel. Each and every answer will be counted towards the Star's credibility and may have consequences.

More on our policy regarding refunds you can find on dedicated page .

He officially logged off of the Midlife Crisis Discord thread. Since January, he had either been on "Online" (though not participating in discussions) or "Idle", but now he is just flat out offline and has been for a few days now. So, either A) he logged off manually. B) Whatever device(s) he was using for Discord is/are off/out of juice.
Though he has disappeared (multiple) times before, this is the first time I've seen him full-on logged off of Discord...

he did say family problems, could have escalated and might have just run away to a jungle

My guess is a forced Windows Update logging him off / restarting the computer.

Yeah, it's very possible that he wasn't actually using Discord at all, but was logged into it in background. OS update would log would log out and easy not to notice if not using actively. If he actually left the server that would be something very different. First read of that post I was thinking left server. That would be bad
