That's not what was mentioned in the OP - However, I can see that if an affiliate is just submitting/using your vids from your servers without sales then you have to draw a line...

I think you have to 'Handle With Care' though.....

Indeed. So far people were talking about cutting revshare or bandwidth issues and nobody seems to get that OP is talking about INACTIVE account termination as if keeping that username in their database cost money.
Not to mention that out of those inactive members someday some could begin being active.

I host all promo content myself, so no bandwidth issues. And the account isn't entirely inactive, there have been a small amount of sales last 6 months including rebills. Just out of curiosity checked the stats today and there are even a couple full-year recurring subscriptions set to rebill in the next month. So I guarantee my sales have covered any possibly bandwidth and admin costs the account might have incurred for the program, and then some. They just happened to be below whatever threshold triggered that email.

But yeah, FEMJOY admitted it was a mistake in those other threads - I just hadn't seem them as I was out of the country in Jan and not checking out the boards much. Still I think it's indicative of the changing relationship between affiliates & some programs, as the industry shifts away from that model at least relative to the glory days.

Yeah, I wasn't speaking in regards to the OP directly, just in general. But yes, I do agree that it could/should be handled better no matter the circumstance.

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Honestly if someone is like that just make sure to write down all the information you can find on the owners and put them on your personal blacklist for life. Fuck them. Go make money with someone who wants to do business with you. Usually people like that are the very first to cheat you anyway. It shows they see you as shit. In the long term they are doing you a favor.

Its not often I agree with you, but you are absolutely correct in this instance.

I display an empty page if the IP address it is from a 99.99% non-converting country, this saves a little.

Yep it's just stupid. Why not offer affiliates 100% revshare for a while if you want to encourage them to promote your sites, account termination that's just silly!

Sounds like someone who has too much time on their hands and instead of working on generating more of their own traffic they've decided to try and pressure affiliates into sending sales.
