Why is it that so many sponsors that do their own payouts have insecure signup forms which recure a taxid/ssn? I don't get it, but like half or more of them dont even use SSL on those pages ... is it just me or is that kinda stupid? Personally there are several sponsors I havent signed up with for that reason alone.

What diference does it make, whatever info you give to the sponsor will be sold to third parties, secure form wont help you.

It is not a big deal to most webmasters. If you havent signed up to several sponsors soley for that reason, I believe you are the only one.

Really, well I recently signed up for *********, using an email that NEVER has been associated with my name, 2 days later I started receiven spam to rape sites with my name and surname in the header.....

And ******** make millions in a single month, do you think I should take them to court?

And I'm talking about a company that I gave my names, CC number, address, and copy of my driving license, and the c u n t s sold my email with my names to a spammer, or they're spamming it themselves.

Do you think that's different? Cause I don't....
