Do you remove the affiliate ID in sponsorlinks
 

If you see someone promoting a sponsor and you want to check it out, do you remove the guy's affiliate ID from the link?

doesn't really matter, i ain't signing up for the shit anyway.

ofcourse not!!
why would you want to remove that?

:Graucho Why?

Nope.. why? Thats just an asshole thing to do..

depends on who's pushing it

ppl think the referer doesn't deserve the 10% .. :(

Yes.
If i sign up for a trial, then the sponsor has to pay him $30 and i spent $2.99 and cancel asap.
And then the sponsor complains that so many people cancel trials and uses that as an excuse to reduce payouts :warning

depends from where i'm seeing the link.. if it's here, i strip the id.

ah, the question is about joining sponsors through ref. links :eek2

In that case i see no problems with that, i would say everyone should join sponsors through ref. links
