Account Suddenly Recategorized as adult/18+ after five years? Why?
I've been a creator on Patreon for five years and have a small following posting drawings, comics, a newsletter, and blogs from my small art studio. *Very* occasionally, this includes life drawings from illustration sessions I attend, but there is zero sexual content on my page. This month I was suddenly informed that my account was recategorized as adult/18+ and my August earnings are being withheld pending identify verification, which I'm hesitant about since it involves exposing my information to a third party, and I don't understand why Patreon having my banking information isn't enough. My questions are:
1.) are life drawings enough to have your account categorized this way?
2.) will patreon support ever have a human look at my message? I keep getting an auto response when I reply asking which posts triggered this so I can consider removing them.
3.) Is Patreon's ID verification considered safe?
