2 El Demonio and others
My proposal is to signup with as many processors as possible and form a "pool" of webmasters. It's not really hard to have your system tuned to work with many processors, only requires some programming that most of us could afford. We for example currently use two billing companies, and looking for more.
The main idea of the pool will be to move our financial strength from one processor to another, but move on purpose, not at random. For example if one billing company fucked up confederation may decide to punish it and everyone from the pool move their money away from it.
You told you're going to "tell" them they otta do this or otta do that. I do not believe that is going to help. When wolf is in your barn talking to him will not help, you better start shooting and at least scare him away.
Futhermore - to avoid corruption we will decide only what billing company we're moving away from. But where to land everyone will decide on his own. Such a floating pool may become a substantial factor in this industry. Every billing company will know - if they fuck up they're going to get hit, and hit hard. People where jumping ships all the time, but since that was chaotic it didnt really hurt anybody. If several hundreds (or thousands) webmasters will jump ship at once with no warning, with one mouse click, I'm pretty sure that will tear a whole in their balance shit, and make them think twice before making smartass comments on public boards, or to fuck their clients in general.
Another positive factor - that floating pool may be a prize for all billing companies worth fighting for. As we have seen in the past several days companies' reactions on recent events were quite different. If we had such a pool by now we could reward those who expressed some interest in their clients and punish those popmous smartasses who were not going to lift a finger to help, in a matter of seconds.
