So is there no possible combination of options a program owner could use to say turn off the crediting of joins by toggling options at say noon and then toggling them back at 8pm such that between noon-8pm a webmaster would neither see nor be credited for joins?
The retro active payout option says that it locks the payout for the join based on the member join date. So if in theory a member joined during the noon-8pm time and the sponsor had turned off HIDE JOINS AND HIDE REBILLS plus had RETRO ACTIVE PAYOUT on (in addition to the options to not pay for joins or rebills) at the time of the member join then the webmaster would not get credit for the join or see any rebills for it. Even if later the sponsor were to toggle these options back to normal. Correct?
But the $64,000 question is whether or not the RETRO ACTIVE PAYOUT option would also HIDE the very existence of the join and any rebills too (in addition to just the amount of the payout) should it be on and used in conjunction with the HIDE JOINS and HIDE REBILLS options at the time when the member initially joins. Understand what I am getting at here? It's a legitimate question.

Quite the contrary, you received a reply out of respect and I stated that I know your intentions are coming from the right place.
The two hide options have NOTHING to do with payout. They don't affect it in any way. They are strictly display options that are only taken into account when spitting out a stats page and on top of that they are only used if there is no related payout. These settings do not affect you being credited iwth a sale in ANY way. They are NOT in any way a secret way to shave.
I've given you the answer of No again for a third time. When you keep asking the same question regardless of the answer you get while drawing your own conclusions about how things work to suit the premise, I consider it akin to a conspiracy theory. It has nothing do with my level of respect for you. That's, in fact, probably quite higher than you think.
