I think the original question was the opposite of that, seemed to be asking about people who cancelled paid patreon subscription or downgraded to a lower pay tier with that to be automatically shut out of the higher trust tier discourse group meant only for that higher pay tier.
I don’t have any answers about this, but seems like probably the system is not built for this specific kind of use. How much money someone is paying isn’t necessarily directly related to how trustworthy they may be.
I believe there is a built in system to lower someone’s trust tier from #3 to #2 based on some qualifications for that but don’t think there is anything automatic set up for the lower tiers.
