It's great that the Patreon site is helping so much but I have to agree that the real issue at the moment is the spam. Even updates to what's happening with fixing that or why it's happening would be really useful, it just feels like it's not an issue that's being dealt with.. Yes, we can all change journal comment settings but I think some people have pointed out that some users need/want anon commenting on their journals for various reasons so that only helps some of the users, not everyone. I use IJ constantly, I've been her e for years, since GJ went down (RIP) and I'm happy to pay towards something that is important to me but the rewards and the support just aren't there.
Have you thought about Pateron pledgers being allowed to buy perm journals year-round or at a discount? That might boost the monthly pledges and if that's what needs to happen to help fight the spam I'm sure it could gain traction.
