I was talking about them joining the anti spam coalition group or whatever we would call it and paying membership dues to help fight/educate everyone on spyware (the stuff i was talking about a few posts up).
True, a company can create an affiliate account through their own program so it looks like an affiliate, can the account so they make everyone think they closed the spyware asshole, and then they just make a new account and do it again.
Eventually they will be exposed for doing this. If they really close down accounts and don't pay the word will spread through the spyware community and after these people get their accounts shut down and don't get paid, they will move on to try someone else.
if an account gets banned then new one replaces it, gets banned, new one, gets banned, etc.... this can only go on so long before it is blatantly obvious the affiliate company is behind it.
