I think it all ends up to a waste of time..

I've seen it, I've tested it, and some do shave...

but it doesn't matter... because when a bunch of people claim someone does shave, what happens is you get another bunch that , either weren,t on the shave-o-matic at that time, or are blinded because they don't know best and claim they wouldn't do that and how good they are..

A while back, on Netpond, there was this CEN debate... some were on Cen's side, some weren't... we were a bunch to try a few CC... I passed, 6 others didn't and got redirected to dialers..
that week sucked in stats, but then, same traffic, for 2 weeks after it was nice..


Was it shaving, was it Problems , ? we'll never know for sure... but what's for sure is even though that was exposed, you'd have a majority of people putting their head in the sand and going to the point of DENYING even that there was a problem.

so indeed, the suggestion to put to the public your findings about a sponsor is futile IMHO... people won't accept that a well known organisation is doing bad... Save the dialer biz maybe.


As far as sueing, where will you get proof?

the only proof you could get is from the CC processor's stats, the Webmaster's stats, and the other guy's deposit

well, you get what I mean, comparing what the processor show in Signups, what the user shows, and what the sponsor shows...

but even then... would I be shaving, I'd shave using hidden acounts or something like that..

best of luck if you do, but i don't think it's a solution.


like 12clicks said, if they shave, it's in their disadvantage... they'll lose their biz faster...

aim for long term, and choose the people who do!
