Plenty of programs make changes and adjustments to their TOS on the fly. Not all of them give notice, and of those that do not all of them give a full month's notice.
If an affiliate gets proper notice but fails to make the required changes, exacly who is at fault? Hell, I've got changes pending with a few sponsors of mine right now that I haven't gotten to yet, a few have been pending for more than 6 months. If I'm losing sales or leaking traffic because of it (which I am) I'm certainly not going to blame the sponsor, it's my own damn fault for not making the changes sooner.
If I don't get any notice that's a different story entirely. But I too have been an affiliate of a few of 12click's programs, and I recall always getting prior notice of rule changes. If that wasn't the case he would have certainly gotten a fucking earful from me, small amount of traffic I was sending or not, doesn't matter.
Cheers BV. :D

I agree 100%, but that does not and should not classify you or Franck as a cheater.
I don't know everything Franck does, but I think he does a fair bit of TGP gallery submitting. So let's take a look at this hypothetical scenario:
We all know that once you submit a gallery you are not allowed to change it. (There are a few exceptions) But as a "general rule" everyone knows (Including 12Clicks i hope) that it's a big no no and against most TGP's terms to change your gallery.
So if Franck did know that the TOS changed, what is he to do if he has a gallery out there listed on a few hundred TGP's?
Change all the links and get BANNED, BLACKLISTED, etc etc....?
It's a tough situation yes, but not a cheater? I don't think so.
Cheers,
