Amen. I knew of affiliate managers and their employers (CEOs of companies) who knowingly allowed certain types of activities for high-rollers and openly condemned it for the rest. Affiliate marketing is a shady industry where the only person who benefits is the scumbag who started his own program and succeeded at attracting a few large blackhatters to promote some offers. I've been on both sides of that fence as a publisher and an advertiser. ( I guess I should mention that advertising pays quite well and takes far less work once everything is set up ie. coreg)
