Buy Me a Coffee

I have a stalker who found my BMAC. He donated, I refunded and blocked him stating the reason is “repeated unwanted contact.” When I tried to delete his absurd, creepy, manipulative comment (sharing personal information and his drama) I realized that I could not. I can “delete” (see: hide) the comment itself but the fact that he donated is still there even though I refunded his donation immediately. I contacted BMAC and explained the situation, even that, after 10 months of this nonsense, I’m about to file a police report in preparation for a restraining order. They refused to help me, stating I could just hide it (even though I can’t completely hide it). Why is this even a problem? Why can’t I do something basic like delete a comment? Is a stalker running your company? Upon looking into BMAC more, it looks like they have a lot of absurd problems that they simply refuse to fix. It’s sad, I really liked this site.. but Ko-Fi and Patreon don’t allow me to be harassed. Choices choices. I think you all know what I’m gonna do. This shouldn’t even be a problem and when I contact you and tell I’M BEING STALKED you should immediately take action in my favor.😒

I downloaded this app as a way for my clients to tip me or pay me. I had a client buy me $12 in coffees on February 26. It’s BEEN A MONTH! It was the first time I used this app. I tried to cash out and was told my account needed to be verified so I followed the steps to verify. I added my bank account and card details and provided my Instagram account information. The app declined my account verification and sent me an appeal form. In the meantime they have refused to let me withdraw the $12 to prevent “fraud”. Its been a month of dealing with this horrible app. I filed the appeal form and it’s been almost 2 weeks and no word from them so I recently contacted customer service again. This app has basically taken $12 and is refusing to release it despite the fact I have credible social media. I’ve been dealing with this for a month maybe longer-over $12 that was paid to me by a client. What this app does is extremely wrong and unethical. I’ll be contacting the better business bureau and the attorney generals office to warn people about this fraudulent app that refuses to pay people the money they make.

So far BMC is easy and approachable to use, and it has a great tipping and membership feature. I would like for future updates to include a “revert to draft” button for blog posts (which is weird that it’s not already built-in) and a way for members to download files directly within posts (I haven’t done any audio posts yet, so I can’t speak on that). Currently, I either have to re-create a public blog post if I want to turn it into a draft again which is tedious, and I have to create an external Dropbox link for people to download any files I want them to have. Other than that, I’m looking forward to Buy Me A Coffee’s growth, even with some of the current lack of features I’m working around.
