Example - Triplexcash: (not dumping on you folks - just you were the last guys I tried to sign up to).

Password is apparently required to have uppercase letters + numbers but doesn't say so on the form - yep I got it wrong and the form was cleared and I had to start again. I was then told that the ZIP was incorrect even though I'm outside the US and there is no ZIP - yep form cleared and I had to start again. Gave up...

This is so common its unbelieve, CCBill currently makes you select a US/Can state even when u are outside the US (I decided Yukon sounded cool).
Another (I forget who) insisted my phone number was incorrect even when it was fine and kept clearing the form.

Holy shit you folks must lose good biz due to this...
That is so fucking frustrating that it sometimes really makes you wonder if they are really looking for affiliates or just having fun with putting up some unsolvable rebus form
More than once i've moved on to another sponsor after the second or third time their form cleared..

I'll agrea with Johny Traffic that some content providers are even worse, or at least must lose much more buisness on having shitty signup forms.. at least for the sponsors you know before what sites they have and why you'd wan't to sign up, but some of those content shops that doesn't show anything at all in preview and still wants you to give so much info on the form that its getting rediculous you would think they had a hard time getting anyone to signup at all ?
