Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Patreon memberships are month-to-month. Cancel whenever you want, no questions asked.
What if I can’t afford a monthly contribution?
The Post’s articles are and always will be free to read. Patronage is optional and entirely voluntary. If you can’t support financially, sharing articles and submitting story tips helps just as much.

Currently, all tiers are monthly. We may add annual options in the future.
Can I upgrade or downgrade tiers?
Yes. Change your tier level anytime through Patreon.
What happens to my benefits if I cancel?
Exclusive content like Member Dispatches and Almanacs remain accessible to former patrons. Recognition and supporter badges end with active membership.
Are contributions tax-deductible?
No. The PokeMMO Post is not a registered nonprofit. Contributions are voluntary support for independent media, not charitable donations.
Will you ever run ads?
No. Patron support allows us to remain completely ad-free and editorially independent.
What if The Post stops publishing?
All articles will remain archived and accessible. Patrons will receive advance notice before any shutdown, and all recurring charges will be canceled.
