What impact, if any, does this practice have on minimizing the effects that affiliate fraud have re chargeback ratios for the sponsor? Ie., so happy so they don't cheat?
I don't support nor wish to appear to condone shaving... however, I won't be surprised that some PPS sponsors might feel that this practice is a "justifiable" response to affiliate cheating. I spoke awhile back with the owner of a mid sized and growing affiliate PPS program and he said that at least 10% of payouts in every payout period is paid out to cheaters. Even with his extra vigilance, he feels that he's not catching them all.
Regardless... this doesn't excuse punishing all (via shaving) for the sins of a few.
