It's completely understandable I was just pointing out that there were other instances that occur more frequently ;)

Hell, if it's 1 join or 10, it's still more than I would have gotten that day without the referral. And yes, that's assuming that the other person would send traffic, but we have to think optimistically.

The person signed up for the program under someone else and they deserve the cash, now the question should remain, would they have signed up even if they weren't referred?

Agreed

If the answer is no, then there ... the referral is worth it.
If the answer is yes, then fine, cut your losses.

Agreed again, however, I see the point that NinjaScripts was trying to make. Webmasters post frequently threads titled "im signing up to bangbros someone spam me with a ref" but I've never seen a program post in a thread like that stating they'd like to remove the credit for referral. Don't get me wrong, I do not believe in signing up under your own referral to gain more revenue - I think it's extremely shady for a webmaster to do.

And if they would have signed up without a referral, then why should I pay them more with them referring themselves?

You really shouldn't be forced to because people shouldn't be signing up through thier own referral codes ;) - but I can tell you (as I stated before) I do not sign up under referral code specifically for the reason that it gives me another point in my argument when negotiating for higher payouts.
If an affiliate is doing good volume in your program would you raise their payout to meet or match the percentage that would be paid out to their referrer?
