Fuckin A finally someone made my point b4 i got here.
I to am a sponsor and We actually lost all of shit at our initial launch due to a spamming affil, we were very lucky that our hosts have known us for over 6 years and knew exactly where we stood on spam, and pulled a few strings and got us back up in under 2 hours,
To the people that think sponsors don't care about spam, your folling yourself big time, True their may be a few fucks out there who condone it to line their pockets even more, but in the end if someone complains they CAN loose their ip's Domain names and hosts. and in most cases would have to start their companies ALL OVER AGAIN under new names.
We do NOT tolerate spammers AT ALL! if your caught spamming kiss your account goodbye.
I also wanna touch on something else...

toys to play with, treat you like a king at the shows, answer
your phone calls, chat with you on ICQ etc..etc. But if you are a
struggling webmaster trying to obey their TOS and do things in
a professional and "legal" way, but not having the success
that a spammer would have - they don't have the time of day
for you.
Now, wouldn't it be nice to find a sponsor program that actually
cares about the hardworking affiliate who is trying hard to do
the right thing by working hard and obeying all the rules? A
sponsor who actually celebrates and promotes good business
ethics and practices? Yes - they all say that they are like this,
but in reality most are not.
Again somethin gwe totally agree with, Each one of our affils are treated the same #1 and i emplore EVERY sponsor out there to start looking into at LEAST trying this, EVERY AFFIL YOU HAVE has the potential to be a big earner for you but they need help, support and tips and tricks. If your not ready to do that then maybe you should make your program exclusive so you don't have ot worry about being human beings.
I have seen a disturbing trend over the last 6 years, look around other boards and se what affils are crying out for. SUPPORT, HELP, TIPS. These ppl WANT TO make money. Ignoring them won't help either party.
Stopping now before i end up with a fucking novel.
