Attacks on affiliate programs

[Simmo!]

Treat the program as they treat you (and why not)

The problem with this approach is that you are talking to a person, not a program, and people move on, change jobs, talk to other people etc. If you start going off on one you aren't necessarily talking to the decision maker related to your issue. Sure, that person is put in the firing line to represent the program but if you are rude to him/her then it's going to stick, even when they move.

So say they move to a new program and decide, for example, they're going to give 50% commissions to selected affiliates, who are they NOT going to offer that to?

And on top of that, some of those those looking in on the thread where you went off are probably going to think why would I want to deal with someone who is potentially awkward to work with?

Another thing that bugs me is that many times over the years that attacks have started out based solely on assumptions and speculations.

True but no less speculative than what we are presented with. I mean can any program without doubt prove our hard work is not being flush down the toilet? Us affiliates work based on suspicions; shady stats, evil cross marketing, MIA players, AM' coming and going, player database sales, unexplained payment issues, conflict of interest with Ecogra, well the list is heavy. The affiliate market IMO does not lye in the realm science, fact, but rather probabilities. Instead, our market is pseudoscience largely based on assumptions and speculation that everything is running as it should.

How does one go about proofing ghosts really do not exists?

The person I be talking with represents the program they way I see it. It is not like were sitting down at their dinner table. And why would anyone change jobs is it not better to rid ourselves of the rotten apples instead? Do we just surrender because some programs find it amusing to continually rip people off. The standard should be we work together to sink those pirate ships instead of running from them.

Just conversation fellas no bad intentions here. But if there was a solution I would say all programs stats should be housed by a non- partisan third party. Programs then may share our frustrations and understand why some fly off the handle.

The software is Rival program Superior. A glimpse for the unexplainable and I have changed nothing hoping, praying, the person behind the desk may operate with integrity.

No, but there are better ways of achieving a goal than bad-mouthing people, being rude and losing your temper on a public forum. If you rseort to the latter then fair enough but accept that there might be side effects you'll probably never know about. Being rude closes doors and closing doors costs you money.

Lots of stuff I am totally oblivious to already and perhaps the nagging sore that never goes away.

But as stated earlier using profanity directed at someone is never cool although I have done so in the past. It is just a little to personal.

Peoples tempers run high and justly so on most occasions. Some must swallow the injustice, go without, and again hope they will be treated fairly.
