So why build stats that track 1 through 4 so proper credit is given
...and have tracking that shows campaigns 1, 2 and 3 but not #4 ?

..Since the affid is captured, the damn _tag is part of the link, if it is able to track that through the process, it IS being captured, did your dev staff actually sit there and say, let's count the click in that affid's stats, and let's capture this _tag tag, but we certainly dont want to count it or anything smart that a programmer would do.
