Do you click aff. links or do you paste & remove aff. ID ?

I admit it, I copy/paste/strip the refcodes.
WG

I strip the codes too, and for mainstream, on the extremely rare occasion I might be interested in a click ad, I will type in the url rather than click it :1orglaugh

I guess, we're all doing it

i use ref id, why the hell not

Some people around here use "magic links" so that doesnt work. :2 cents: :Oh crap

Should have made this a poll, I bet many strip the aff. id when joininng a sponsor

I strip aff codes almost religiously

unless the person is doing me a favor by referring me, i strip all webmaster refcodes.

some yes some no it depends on what it is

If I sign up for a sponsor after seeing someone whoring it in a thread with their refcode, I'll look at the posters name. Basically, if they list 10 sponsors and have either a :thumbsup or a :pimp, I will get rid of the ref code. If they list one, and feature no fucking emote's, I'll generally leave the ref code in.... :thumbsup:pimp

Everyone feel free to strip this code when you sign up:

i dont use the ref codes unless its along with good unique info/content

why strip the code?

That old mentality, "If I'm not making any money then no one else should!!" ...except you do you make money which is the sad thing. Well, some people at least.

stripper here

er...why?

if its a friend or i like the person ill use their refcode, otherwise im stripping it.

why are you all so mean :-(

I would never go so far to strip out a code but if it is mainstream I would probably click on the actual sites page on a SE result than the paid for links.

I'm too lazy for strip the reff, also i hope that the other makes some money.
Why leave this money in the sponsors pocket. :)

I click the ref.. doesnt hurt my pocket and when i ask for some specific stuff and someone posts his link with his, its just fair to sign up under him :)

Depends on my fucken mood. If Im in a bad mood I fucken strip it. It also depends if I like the person or not. If it's someone I dislike for whatever reason or if they irritate me I strip the webmaster id off. If they were nice to me I might leave it on. I might also leave it on if I feel sorry for them...

if i ask and someone takes the effort to respond with something that actually suits my request i sign up under them, plaind and simple. however, there are so many people here with huge cut and paste lists just waiting for a chance to spam their refcodes, that i tend to strip their afflink if i find something in their list that suits me. just out of spite.
