🧾 Dept. of Petty Affairs — Interpretive Docket #991
The Currency Drift Courtesy Clause
Filed by: Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand
Classification: Soft Evasion / Polite Omission
Subject: Creator-side currency adjustment communicated without supporter-side acknowledgment
Summary
The Subject announced a currency switch resulting in automatic tier recalculations.
All functional access remains unchanged.
Supporters are invited to DM if discrepancies appear.
Notably absent: Any recognition that some supporters may now pay more.
Findings
Technical Accuracy: Statement is factually correct. No misinformation detected.
Relational Gap: The communication frames impact exclusively from the creator’s operational perspective.
Courtesy Omission: No acknowledgment of overseas supporters absorbing volatility on the creator’s behalf.
Intent Assessment: Likely non-malicious. Pattern consistent with transactional framing, not deception.
Verdict
No violation of platform norms. However, the Tribunal notes a missed opportunity for goodwill reinforcement.
A single sentence of acknowledgment would have converted neutrality into respect.
Recommended Best Practice (Non-Binding)
“Some supporters may see a small increase due to conversion. I appreciate your continued support and will make sure the work earns it.”
Status: Logged, not escalated
Disposition: Observed and remembered
✏️ Jerry’s Marginalia
You don’t owe people guilt. But you do owe them awareness.
Money changes aren’t just math — they’re trust transfers.
Silence isn’t hostile. It’s just… revealing.
