That's a real issue. One sponsor I'm promoting has found it's gallery with my ref code on some shady TGP as well. The owner of that TGP just grabbed the random links from FHGStore.com as they are (i.e. with my ref. codes on them) and used these links on his TGP. Fortunately that sponsor knows me for a long time (we even have a couple of joint projects with them) so the guys just noticed me about this issue and haven't closed my account. After that I found the ICQ of that fucker who used the links with my affiliate codes on his TGP (actually it was really below the line one...) and make him to remove all that links.
However, what it I was unable to contact that guy, or what if the sponsor who found their galleries with my code of illegally-looking TGP haven't know me for year? I believe they'll end up with closing my account for sure. So there is a question. How we could be responsible for some fuckers that use the galleries with our affiliate links on their shitty resources? Is it right to punish an affiliate for some other person who using his links on shady TGP's?
Will be nice to hear an answer from CCBill guys for example. What's their vision of such incidents? Is the affiliate guilty by default?
