Why not have the MySQL data encoded in addition to the php coding? Would certainly make it a LOT harder for dishonest programs to shave sales if you did.

If you tried these techniques you would see posts here at GFY saying, "What the fuck [program]? I had a sale at 1am and then it just disapeared! This is not the first time either!!!"
When that post comes in, you get John sniffing around your ass for why a NATS program is possibly shaving... If it is, pull the license. Simple.
But here is the point. It isn't easy to shave and by far shaving isn't the worst thing you can do in the first place. The worst thing you can do is let your program run down and have shitty websites with cookie-cutter designs. Fail to update your members areas with fresh good content and fail to update your affiliate areas with fresh clean content.
So if you are going to post a thread about shit, talk about what is happening at a higher percentage and can be quantified. The fact is you don't know, first hand, of a program that is shaving for sure even if they are using an affiliate system that includes it as an option. But I am sure you know of some that piss their content money away on bling-bling and the program suffers and goes to shit. So talk about them.
Come on... Do us all a favor and tell us who they are! While you are at it, tell us who shaves!
