Mpa3 Has No Shave Feature!!!
 

We are very glad to see that the new MPA3 affiliate software system has NO SHAVE feature!!!

They have come a long way...LOTS OF NEW BITCHING TOOLS and nice webmaster area....

I think MPA3 and NATS are two of the best affiiate software programs i have seen so far....whats your opinions on both?

Tell more.

What's this devices primary use?

... that's too bad, noone will buy it, I bet they are very open when it comes to custom adjustments.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I will never support a program that supports a company scamming webmasters
fuck if its MPA 2, 3, 4 or 23

That product is dead.

they actually have come a long way....i do give them tons of credit for that
they took a bad situation and made it totally good

fact is, as long as a sponsor makes me money and the clicks and counts add up on mine and their end, i will send traffic and continue to make money with them....i don't care what system them use

MPA embodies all that is evil in this business, this mindset that scamming other people is somehow an appropriate way to do business just because it's adult.

Whether it's "age verifiers" that claim to be free, or shaving, or stealing content, you're either screwing the customer or screwing other webmasters or screwing content producers...

You can make money in adult by being legitimate, by being smart, talented, organized, and respected. Lots of people do it.

MPA's business SHOULD be adversely impacted by coding in features to steal from legitimate webmasters just so they could sell a few extra copies to shitty sponsors.

I'll support NATS by using NATS sponsors not because I like NATS, but because I detest MPA and can't wait to see them fold, just like all the other crooked garbage in this industry.

hmmm, thats sad to hear because i dont think thats a professional and fair way of looking at it...i dont care what Mansion has done or what experiences you have had with them but those who have ONLY hired them for just programming shouldnt be hated for it....but thats just my opinion i guess...

MPA is like a kid toucher. Regardless if they have been rehabiliated, would you let one watch your kid? Same with my traffic. Traffic = kids. MPA= kid toucher. Do the math

to be honest that is the only way to deal with it in a professional way. you can not support a company that scammed affiliates - the people that work for you - the foundation of every affiliate program.

You should do anything to not support such companies - let alone us their services and/or pay them money. Especially when there are better products on the market (personal opinion).

Btw, I owe you a drink in Vegas :winkwink:

i don't believe it... there's no such thing as a 'shave free' aff software.. :2 cents:

I sale kustom MPA shave modifikations for cheep!

Believe it :)

NATS is pretty shave free... If there is a shave feature, I can't find it...nor can the NATS team. :thumbsup

You can bet your ASS NATS is shave free, and not one NATS affilate program is ever going to shave with it, using there own ways around it or not. If Nats catches you shaving sales off there system they said they will straight up turn your program off. Thats enough of a threat to make sure ALL NATS affilate programs never even think about it. Its all encrpyted and works great.

Highly recommend NATS!

use nats

:1orglaugh

hmmm its interesting how TripleXCash still uses MPA2... maybe there are features in there they like that arnt in MPA3 :1orglaugh

doesnt matter if they removed it, they shot themselves in the foot when it went public they had it to begin with. u can sprinkle all the jimmies u want on a pile of shit, it' still a pile of shit regardless :2 cents:

Ok so following the line of thinking in this thread... Everyone that also USED MPA2 and now using NATS had the intention of scamming you because the shave feature was there... but now they have seen the light and using NATS soooo its ok.


MPA2 had the feature in, it was up to the company whether to use it or not. Its wrong that it had the feature in, but don't tarnish everyone with the same brush.

NATS all the way baby.

Great program, great company.
you'll be hearing more about them very SOON.

This is a completely backwards way of looking at things.

No one ever said "everyone" using MPA2 was using the shave feature. That is the problem. By Mansion including it in their software they tarnished all of their client's reputations.

The programs moving from MPA2/3 to NATS are doing so to establish credibility and move to a more stable and flexible platform. They are not the programs to worry about.

The programs choosing to stay on MPA2 are the one's that everyone should be wondering about.

MPA fucked with the version 2.0 ... now they payback and loose people . too bad for them

Exactly ... fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me

Hey ... They fucked a lot of webmasters up with this feature making shaving more avaliable and easy to do ...

They did the WRONG thing and I'm NEVER gonna trust mansion again . They claimed they were good and shave proof during all that time .

:thumbsup

You still got access to the databases so shaving IS possible ... but I agree, joe blow with no budjet cannot shave now

And again, it's next to impossible. You have no idea of the scale and scope of the checks and balances put in place to make sure people can't play with the numbers. Something will break. And when we find out they are trying to fool with the numebers their liscense will be revoked and legal action will be taken.

Now, as an affilaite you have to ask yourself. Do you want to promote a program with a backend having that stance or a backend made by a company who decided to allow webmasters to cheat their affiliates with a few clicks of the mouse.

Not a hard decision in my eyes.

If you remove member data from your NATS DB it breaks. The member data tables are split into many areas to go around this problem, damn near making it impossible to beat unless you really know the nats system.

Open your eyes. CCbill had a shave feature too and I bet you would not stay away from them because of it, right? Everyone makes mistakes and it is not Mansions fault the shave was built in, it is the webmasters that wanted it in the first place.
Mansion saw that it was causing problems so they left it out of the new version. Kudos to them for stepping up. NATS seems to be a great program too and secure against shaving. Cheating webmasters will find a way if they really want to. Your conversions and money that you make are what you should go by, not the stats.

Ppl who are using MP2 will keep version 2 with the old shave features ..... not hard to understand

This product is dead.

Welcome to NATS

cashtitans.com has been running on NATS now for for the past few days and I must say it is hands down the best affiliate software out there

Not only do they have a shave free stats system they have incorporated so many hot tools to help increase the cash flow and ease of use.

Webmasters and program owners can work much more efficiently then you can elsewhere...

I have worked with programs that have used everything from CCbill, MPA, Traffica, and a few others, and I must say NATS kicks ASS

I cannot say enough good stuff about NATS and I cannot wait to see what they have in-store for new features.

never gets old

What about dropping tracking before the sale is made?

Lets say I send someone to a site with my linkcode. The site owner decides to drop my tracking code and replace it with his own.

That would be dead obvious to the affiliate with just a little bit of looking around. Those who choose to shave like to not be seen. This method would be VERY obvious.

It would also result in the liscense revoking that I mentioned earlier.

Where there's a will, there's a way. We do everything we can to make it as hard as possible, and we follow that up with a very hard policy on trying to get around what we do.

Unfortunately I've seen too many sponsor do it, even if it's obvious :(
It's half impossible to keep track of cheaters like that with NATS.

?nats=MTAwMBgyOjM6Ag

opposed to

?wmid=10234

Sponsors could also not send checks or send wrong check amounds, etc., etc.

The point is it's something obvious that takes only a minute or two to verify if the affilaite wants to spend the time.

i dont know why any of them would have a feature like that built into it in the first place.

Of course they can, anything is possible :)

My point is that it's NOT obvious. NATS has probably lots of security measures to make sure the sponsor isn't shaving. But you made it harder to see the easiest shave of them all, changing the tracking code.

The ones I've found and the ones that has been posted here is the ones that has been found by "just checking out the sponsor", not investigating if they shave.

"When I clicked the banner on the hosted gallery my wm ID 1234 suddenly changed to 999"
That's pretty easy to spot since you know what your wm ID is. But a 14 character string that is different for every site at that particular sponsor, is impossible to remember.

That's the only flaw I see. Other than that I'm sure you have a great product :)

And yes, they could do that with any system. Does it take an extra 30 seconds to look and see what your NATS code is before you try the links, yes. I don't see that as a huge deal tho vs. any other system. The codes also contain much more info than just the reseller ID.

And thank you, I'm glad you like the system overall.

30 seconds, time is money :winkwink:
