For once I agree with Lee, and understand the point he's making...
Even though NATS has not claimed that it is impossible to shave with their product, the general opinion of the average webmaster is that NATS = no shave. I have no idea who originated this opinion, but I have heard through word-of-mouth, and even read posts such as "xxxxx is using NATS (so no shaving)", and I am constantly amused by it...
I believe the point of the thread is, an affiliate should not promote a program using NATS just because they believe they will not be shaved because of the affiliate software, and nor should a program feel they have to switch to NATS to gain affiliate trust. Unfortunately these ideas have appeared within the last few months, although through no fault of the NATS team.

You are correct, it is not impossible to shave with NATS. We have said that all the time. BUT one thing you HAVE to understand is that we do not let any of our clients shave. If anyone IS found to shave around NATS we WILL terminate their license and we WILL sue them.
And on top of that we make it as difficult as possible for anyone to shave.
Also, the fact that all our clients KNOW we will sue them when they shave and KNOW we will terminate their license, is something that protects the affiliate. We have a close eye on our clients and they know. If anyone does shave somehow we WILL catch them, there is no doubt there.
Anyone using NATS would have to put a lot of effort into it to shave without everyone noticing they are doing it. And even if they figure out a way to do so, we ARE going to detect it and the shit will hit the fan. People investing the time and energy to learn and use NATS to its fullest capabilities will not even THINK about trying to shave because they do not have to to be competitive in this industry.
