      Funny now that the code is supposedly good no other sponsors with MPA are very interested in this thread.

        True, but like a couple of others have said, why only give the MPA2 sponsors a hard time? The silence from sponsors in general is deafening every time the issue of open-ness/accountability comes up.

          But even this will not really solve the problem. I've been trying to figure out good ways about how to test reliably if a MPA2 installation is shaving or not. There sadly is no good way without logging into the DB.

          What we could do is have MPA2 sponsors give REMOTE _read only_ access to webmasters, transactions and stats table and offer remote stats which just simply ignore the *_paid fields. Or, maybe even simpler, which just looks at the _paid fields and gives you a shave percentage after you login to your account there. If its remotely hosted, then it will be very safe to say its telling the truth. But of course MPA2 sponsor would have to open up read only access to some of their MPA2 tables. I do not really see a big problem in that though.
          I'll say it once, and I'll say it again like you see... This is the only way to test shaving in MPA2. Installing a 3rd party's script (other than software you buy and need) somewhere is MADNESS. I would _NEVER_ do that unless it is not encrypted, you never know what it does, evenif 10 people audit it.

          I can understand every sponsor that doesn't do this. I would be too scared too. My idea on the other hand, I can not understand where the problem is.

            MPA2 sponsors are in the crosshairs because MPA2 is what we can test. I'd be all over ccbill sponsors if we could test them and so on.

            Any of you shaving fucks tried modifying the script maybe?

                If someone were to create a CCBill based script, we would be more than happy to use it.

                  I just don't get it.

                  If you guys want to know who shaves and who doesn't, you only have to find 10 webmasters, ask each of them to buy a membership folowing your affiliate link with its credit card and see how many sales appear on your account (create another acount or a sub account for the test). Then they can all cancel the charges.

                  You don't need scripts. Buy and see if it's reported.

                      If this is a pay per signup sponsor then chances are you are
                      violating the terms. Don't cheat just to check that sales are all
                      counted.

                        Please there are alot of sponsors who aren't PPS who DON't want you to do test signups. Well known ones too. LOL at the ones who accept them IF you warn them PRIOR to it


                        On this note, any results? So many MPA2 sponsors ignoring this thread lol

                        In this business sponsors should be labeled shaving until proven innocent.

                            From the last page of posts I'm thinking that rather than getting
                            a few different auditors I'll just screenvid the whole process and
                            then people can review it themselves. That way if you're in doubt
                            you can just get someone that knows a little bit about code to
                            review the video and run the CRC checks and they'll see that
                            what was done was legit.

                            Anyone know a good screencap video with sound program?

                                I've already invited people to try this with www.spydollars.com and www.gunzblazing.com except you'd need at least 20 cards because 10 signups isn't enough a program owner could have a 9% shave and not get caught... not that the 4% with 20 would be great.. but it's better accuracy..
                                do it sometime in the future when this has died down a little to "catch us offguard" (lol) but tell me THE DAY AFTER so I can refund all the cards.

                                  Yeah at least getting the ones below 5% wouldn't be as bad as getting the more obvious ones. They're the ones who need to get caught.

                                    The code needs changing so that it queries the whole database
                                    rather than one user. If it only queries one user then that user
                                    needs to send signups before they can see if the sponsor
                                    shaves. Kinda defeats the purpose for sponsors as they want to
                                    show they don't shave system-wide *before* an affiliate signs up.

                                    Hadn't looked into one part of this... Zend... I thought you just
                                    use the opto kit but turns out you have to buy the studio for
                                    somewhere around $1000.

                                    I'll change the code if someone with Zend can do a video screen
                                    cap with sound which looks at the code and describes what it
                                    does then uses Zend to encode and a CRC checker to generate a
                                    checksum for the file so it can later be tested for authenticity.

                                    If someone can do the encoding part with video then I'll fix the
                                    code. Other than that I'm kinda sick of the idea.... Not sure I have
                                    a good enough reason to be going out-of-my-way.

                                    We know spydollars and gunzblazing don't shave.... It's not like
                                    doing this will get too many more clicks on my sig or anything. It'd
                                    just help out other sponsors that aren't in my sig. :-)

                                      They're the ones who need to get caught.
                                      This script can't "catch" anyone.... It doesn't remotely validate a
                                      program. The script needs to be installed on the server by the
                                      owners of the program, so only those sponsors that don't shave
                                      have any reason to use it.

                                          We need a few ground breakers. Then we need a list of MPA2 users.

                                          This could get big if done well.

                                              If I fix this so that it queries all users can you have your guy re-
                                              encode it while running a screencap prog? They'd have to go over
                                              the code before encoding with the screencap prog running then
                                              CRC check it and confirm the checksum value on the video.

                                              I'd have include code to remotely CRC check the file to make sure
                                              it's still running the right code. Just want to know someone can
                                              pack this before I go working on any code.

                                              Then we could build a site that lists sponsors using it.

                                              btw a new version of MPA is coming out.... Would be smart if
                                              Mansion included this as optional code so that users of MPA could
                                              confirm to their affiliates that they do not use the shave feature.
                                              If not I'm fairly sure the database wouldn't be changed but we'd
                                              have to test that the code works with both versions.

                                                This thread is too quiet for the potential it has.
                                                Makes you wonder if cascading billing was the real reason most sponsors bought MPA2

                                                    as a programmer I know it wouldnt be hard for the prgram in question to attach your software to stats that are set up to be non shaving. Wouldnt change all the other poor slobs accounts. This is meaningless.

                                                                        Would it be able to go back and find that information?

                                                                                it's still running the right code. Just want to know someone can
                                                                                pack this before I go working on any code.

                                                                                Then we could build a site that lists sponsors using it.

                                                                                btw a new version of MPA is coming out.... Would be smart if
                                                                                Mansion included this as optional code so that users of MPA could
                                                                                confirm to their affiliates that they do not use the shave feature.
                                                                                If not I'm fairly sure the database wouldn't be changed but we'd
                                                                                have to test that the code works with both versions.

                                                                                -Ben
