as i think you pointed out in later post, if you click 1 bangbros link with 1 aff ID, then later on clicked on another, the last aff ID *SHOULD* get the credit, because that is the one that closed/sealed the deal.
short term permanent cookies seems like a way to stop this fraud, i say it just opens up for creative folks to continue the fraud.. but penalize the legit affiliates sending traffic.

we later established that something like a 2 min cookie or the like would be good, so last person gets credit unless its within 120 seconds.. so even on a tgp its going to take longer than 2 mins to get to a gallery click thru to a join page
and you wouldnt even need to do it all the time . maybe just a few hours randomly per week and analyze the ratio drops for fraudsters
