90% of our affiliate sales come from review sites and other membership sites (who coincidentally feel no need to alter our pictures or crop out watermarks) simply because of the quality of traffic, not quantity. It seems that most people here want us to just sell out on our principles of quality control and copyright protection in order to cater to the remaining 10%. We'll gladly take all affiliates of any type but if you are planning to deliberately ignore the TOS or bend them to your own desire then you've probably come to the wrong place.

Agreeing with Paul is further proof that you are totally out of touch with affiliates and how to run an affiliate program.
This is a bit over the top eh? " sell out our principles" because one of your affiliates wants to use your images and crop them, thus leaving off your watermark *gasp*.
PS the two people "who get it" are content producers like yourself and also don't understand being an affiliate. Apparently to you all of the affiliates here who disagree with you are just rednecks. Congrats on pissing on an entire population of people who can send you more sales.
