Wow this was a long thread to read at 3am....

Now without looking at the guy's account, let me just summarize things into how I see it, based on the info in this thread:

1) Guy finds loophole in payout scale/system

2) Guy signs up himself, or has his friend signup, to exploit this loophole (this is just the likely situation, but may not be fact if I check things out...)

3) Signup is charged back in short period of time.

Now to me, that would make his ratio for the first week be 0:1, which qualifies him for the lowest payout on the scale.

Note: This situation has made us realize we should implement further rules to prevent the possibility it happens in very legit situations. For example, someone may send his quality traffic to us for one week, convert great, and get a good payout set for next week. Then buy all the junk traffic he can find, to send our way at a high price per click. This will be taken care of ASAP so things will work more on a daily basis and prevent chances of this occurring.

However, from everything I can understand here and without speaking with Michael today about it, if that 1 signup charged back (not to mention so quickly - usually chargebacks come 1-2 months later), he has 0:1 ratio.
