Don't see why this would be hard to "fix"... topbucks locks the cookie for a short period of time to prevent that sort of hijacking.

Exaclty, all they see is an account that is making them a lot of money. Probably a top 10 affiliate for them. I think they just have a hard time banning someone who they *think* is making them a lot of money. When in reality, if they did ban that person their bottom line would be the same or better.... those signups would be redistributed to their other affiliates and they would make more of their own signups. But, they don't understand this and can't bring themselves to banning one of those high producing accounts.
If I am wrong, and I am missing something here, then please those of you who allow spyware signups, please come explain to me how I am wrong.
