I'm not saying all pay per signup programs shave, I know some really maximize the income per signup to reach these levels, but I believe most of them have to. In theory, the webmaster get the same amount of money, only it's easier for the sponsor to recruit new webmasters because the front price is higher. But to me it's crossing the line and once it's done, nothing prevent you from shaving more and more.
We do not pay per signup because we don't want to enter that game. Partneship makes it harder to recruit new webmasters because it takes more time for them to build a solid income, but on the long run it pays both for us and the webmaster as you can build more trust. As for shaving rebills, I just don't get it. Sending bigger checks to your webmaster is the key to retain them...
Maurice I feel bad for you and I hope you'll be able to solve that or to move to something else. If you need any help, just let me know.

Well said. In most cases (programs that work on their retention) you end up earning way more money with revshare too, in my opinion. I mean, in most cases an average of 2, 3 months is enough. Which is quite an easy retention!!
Shaving is always inacceptable, though. Webmaster <-> affiliate program business relationship should be an honest one, and we can't have any of the parties being dishonest. Whether we're talking about shaving or webmaster fraud.
