spammers - the program makes even MORE money when they terminate them
 
I've noticed that many programs say they terminate spammers, but they still accept traffic from that refid. So they benefit from spammers in two ways...

1) They get to keep the payout that was destined for the spammer

2) They continue to make signup $ since they are still accepting traffic

Plus, how can we actually see that that really *have* been terminated?

Is this fair?

If we terminate someone, we send their traffic to a page that says they've been terminated. We lose money of course, but it shows the complainers and our hosting company that we take spam seriously.

You were terminated for spamming? Don't worry, it happens to them all, sooner or later :)

that is bullshit. all programs say they terminate spammers but very few do. would you terminate someone that gets you 50-100 signups at a time?

Right. On 80% recurring memberships you can afford to terminate spammers and send their traffic to some bullshit site informing them that they can no longer sign up because that would be wrong?
