I Could Shave You Even Though We're Using NATS
 

Anyone wanna take some bets on whether this statement is true or not? :Graucho

I guarantee its possible to shave even when using the NATS affiliate system :thumbsup

Lee

I shaved my head this morning

we don't use NATS though

you can shave with any software doesnt matter what you use :winkwink:

its all about how you mod it yourself, nothin too complicated

PBucksJohn would probably disagree, seeing as his company made it.

Okay let me re-phrase the comment..

I can shave you even if we use NATS without modifying the software.

Regards,

Lee

I believe it can be done.

I KNOW it can be :Graucho

did you shave your balls today?

manipulating it? :Graucho

I bet you could, it's all about trust not software options :2 cents:

I'm not familiar with you using our product. If you are and you attempt to fuck with the numbers you'll be loosing your liscense. Enjoy.

:thumbsup

So does that mean you are agreeing that it is possible to shave using NATS?

Just want to clarify your position on that :)

Regards,

Lee

What would you like to shave first? Cock, balls, head? :Graucho

So you are activly looking for ways to make programs shave so that you can rip off webmasters? Not shocking...

Im not actively looking for anything lol

Common sense dictates that any program using any affiliate script can shave at any time they like.

Its not exactly brain surgery, you just have to spend all of 30 seconds to think about how it can be acheived if you felt the need to do so.

Everyone has a different defination of "shaving".

Some people consider going into the database and zero'ing out everyone's sales "shaving". Is this possible with NATS? Yes. But not so easily and we make it as difficult as possible. You can always fuck with the database or rewrite your DNS every 20 minutes or something. Of course that's possible. That's not shaving using NATS. That's shaving around NATS.

I've answered this question a million times. We have never said it is IMPOSSIBLE to shave for a program running NATS. We have said that there is NO SHAVE FEATURE in NATS unlike some softwares out there who decided to make it as easy as possible. We have also taken a very strong stance against it in that any program we find trying to fuck with the #s behind the affiliates back will loose their liscense and be taken to court.

You can always fuck with things. It's the internet. It's the point of us making it as hard as possible instead of as easy as possible as some others have chosen in the past. And also our stance against it should we ever find someone trying to manipluate the software.

Again, I don't recall ever working with you, so if you're associated with one of our clients, who is it?

I don't know who you are and I don't know why you decided it was a great idea to bust my balls on a Saturday morning, but it's been noted.

Hes a gay attention whore. :2 cents:

LOL, that much I knew.

Thanks for the clarification :thumbsup

For the record though, without even having seen how NATS works i can tell you that no matter how advanced the script itself is, you dont have to touch ANYTHING on the scripting side of things to be able to shave signups.

Ill let you figure out the 'how then' though :)

it's too eary for drama on a saturday

I gave you two ways in my post to go around it. It's not something impossible to figure out. You could unplug the sever and put another one in it's place twice a week. There are always ways to go around things. Our stance on it is what makes us different.

Sadly some people on this board have nothing better to do.

Also, "put up or shut up" applies here. I can go around all day making claims I can fly or that I just bought Microsoft. Your words are words alone until you have something to back them up with.

Don't you think the stand up thing to do if you were stand up and email or ICQ John about a possible issue in the program if there is one so that nobody can shave? If it wasn't fixed then you should come to the board to warn people...

Why complicate things?

Just add some additional HTML / PHP code to a tour page.

Thats a much easier way to do it :2 cents:

Actually, to be fair, this isnt just true of NATS, its true of any affiliate script, whether they have been provided by a billing processor or by a third party company or even custom programmed.

See my post above :thumbsup

Php incudes ;)

But its not an issue in the program, its an issue in EVERY program.

If you only had half a clue the checks and balances built in to detect that at points.

Move along. Obviously you were just in need of some attention this morning.

Also, I will be checking with all of our clients monday to see if you are associated with any of them.

If you are using NATS or working for someone who does please let me know. If you are not then please refrain from stating "We're Using NATS".

This is an example of nothing more than someone who needs some attention first thing in the morning. Some people thrive on "GFY Drama".

so why not quit being sucha cocksucker (had to get 1 of those in) and tell them how you fucked up the soft so they can fix it?

just an idea.

That's called being mature and professional. Apparently our friend here would rather run to GFY with grand "claims" to get some sig views.

:thumbsup

So you are saying it is not possible to use php includes to return a different page at any given time to strip the tracking section of the affiliates id on a tour page?

You might want to speak to your programmers to confirm this before you end up talking out of your ass any more :)

The simple fact is, no matter what type of affiliate software a sponsor uses, whether it be nats, mpa or, an ibill, ccbill or epoch linking code, it is possible to change the pages that surfers are presented with specifically not to include any typ of affiliate tracking.

Of course i realize this screws with your whole marketing plan for nats but the reality of it is, the method i mentioned above is a reality.


Regards,

Lee

Well duh!

You can pull just about any kind of crap you want in htaccess
rules before apache even hands the surfer off to scripts.

...do you want to get caught doing it though.

Perhaps you missed my post above stating this isnt just a nats issue? It is true on ANY type of affiliate based tracking.

Regards,

Lee

You should give reading what I wrote a try. Might make you look like less of an idiot.

Can you do that? Yes.

Will we eventually catch wind of it and terminate your liscense? Yes.

Dont know about getting caught doing it becase the fact remains we wouldnt do it at all.

I just wanted to point out that putting faith blindly in a program because of th type of affiliate script they are using is crazy at best.

Regards,

Lee

Yet you chose to claim you're using NATS in your topic to get more attention? I'm flattered.

Come on John... don't be so arrogant.. You know as well as i do, GIGO. That simple law makes shaving very easy regardless of what software one uses.

So just to clarify..

It is possible to shave if we did in fact use NATS?

However if you somehow found out about it, you would terminate our license?

Regards,

Lee

Nats is the latest 'fad' in the industry, just as mpa was several months back, i could quite easily have used any affiliate script name in the thread topic, the fact still remains though, shaving is possible irrespective of the affiliate script being used.

You can debate the issue all you like, it doesnt change the fact it is truth.

Regards,

Lee

I have no idea what GIGO is. And also, you're missing the point. I've said you can put things around NATS to fuck with the #s, of course you can. I have NEVER MADE THE CLAIM THAT YOU CAN'T. We simply keep our eyes 100% open for it. Have things in place to watch for it. And have very strict penatlies should someone be caught doing so.

You people need to stop going over and over the same point again after I address it. I'm getting tired of typing the same thing over and over again becuase people don't read it.

Again and again and again and again.

I have never said it's impossible.

Move along and get your attention from someone else please.

Yes, as I said you could change your DNS every 20 minutes. You could swap servers every hour. You could not send checks, etc.

And yes, in a heart beat they would.

I'm done with this thread. It's a Saturday morning and believe it or not I have things to do.

I've stated our standing 30 times in this thread alone. If you don't get it by now you never will.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Okay thanks.

Although i still dont understand why someone would want to do something as complicated as changing their DNS every 20 minutes when it is as simple as adding a .php include to a tour page.

Ah well, i guess it takes all sorts.

Lee

If you were a dog, you would chase your tail all day long. You really enjoy going in circles.

Good bye.

Garbage In Garbage Out. Its a pun of FIFO (First In First Out) or a Queue vs LIFO (Last In First Out) aka a Stack.

Anyway, I am not trying to bust your balls. But a false sense of security is far worse then no security at all.

Shaving happens, and no amount of checks and balances could ever stop it. As long as a system works on decisions based on information from an outside source the logic can be cracked.

I do commend your efforts to curb shaving, don't get me wrong. I am very passionate about coding, and appreciate anyone who puts their blood sweat and tears into a project.
