Based on recent developments, I have to wonder what Patreon would think of the IP logging. Historically, Patreon hasn't taken too kindly to developers who have used such actions in the past. Already, the game is skirting patreon's own rules when it comes to content, in particular the sleep sex which is forbidden unless express permission is given by characters. They themselves (patreon) note that 'implied' permission doesn't count.
With that in mind, I looked to the rules, and found the following:
We take a strong stance against doxing, which is sharing an individual’s private information or aggregating their public information for the purpose of intimidating them through harassment.
Furthermore, even higher up, they say:
You cannot attempt to intimidate anyone, either directly or by using your influence over others.
Thing is, Patreon typically applies their rules to all interactions, including those that happen outside of patreon. So, by their own rules, RALX's bragging here on these forums, could be used as evidence of their doxxing users, and using that for intimidation purposes.
Someone might want to screenshot Ralx's rant, and send it to patreon here:
You must be registered to see the links
with a report. It also might not hurt to pledge the minimum just to check if they're sharing those IP's on the patreon itself, as that would be a direct violation and would get them shut down faster than you could say "oops."
