It can be done. How cleanly and how pretty you want the admin graphs to be are up to your programmer... Generally the people doing the shaving are just happy knowing their payouts are lower and income higher.

That's the thing... If you don't submit it through nats, it won't go into nats, unless you are going to hand add, and remove (without knowing the expire) of every member. Otherwise affiliates could just steal your sales..
So now we are talking about a serious fucking programmer, 1% of 1% of the people that can modify a complex, split up, amount of data, that must match from the join submit down through the process, and pick it back up (ie: protection from webmasters getting sales stolen) - without data being changed...
Ok.. So in the extreme of super extremes... I guess nats can be shaved.. But at that point, you could code your own software 10 times over.

A reverse shave is very popular, I have used it many many times, and I can can't name a program that hasn't......
