A few months later, the owner shows up, says he is sorry that he had some issues, and pays them. So they talk about it on the phone, and start promoting again. about a year later, they guy does it again with another sizable payout.
My friend NEVER told anyone else. That is the kind of info that should be shared. he was afraid that if he did decide to promote the guy again, the conversions would not be as good if he let others know.

Good point. I think that's the crux of the problem. There are too many cliques and too many "bros" on the boards. Too many people more concerned with being noticed at a show and getting a free beer than making money.
9 times out of 10 when a program is called out for bullshit, the person starting the thread gets called a troll/loser/broke/etc. Heck, we have programs here who have been exposed for helping the proliferation of content theft in the industry and people defending them for it. We have people defending guys who have stiffed affiliates in previous programs they owned.
The best solution is really for someone to create a site that lets affiliates call out sponsors for stuff. To help spread information back and forth and warn people of problems. I just don't think it's possible here anymore with the ass-kissers and wannabe bros.
