sponsor support forms that never get responded to
 

how often does this happen to you? i fill out several and never get a response, i'd say i get about 25% of them actually responded to.

Thats why I usually ICQ sponsor reps.

Yeap, lots of crappy sponsors... but not going to mention the bad ones.

Got good support from Mario @ Platinum and SPACASH recently tho.

happens to me all the time, those and support @ addresses

As a sponsor we spend a lot of time trying to get our support channels right. The latest and largest impediment we suffer, and I assume other sponsors too, is affiliates and members email providers blocking or redirecting emails we send out. Those damn auto-spam filter trap more good then bad IMHO ... ICQ / MSN etc are definitely better ways of getting /giving support, especially to our business affiliates.

even better is when you're filled out one of those forms or sent the email and they don't reply, but 2 days later you get someone from that same company spamming you to get promoting them again.

because only about 25% of them make any decent $ off affiliates...the rest don't care
