We can't force them to conform to a specific business model.
You're right, the (possible) ability to modify the fraud detection to cause more sales to go into non-verified and then not pay out on them on the affiliate program's part isn't fraud. It's just a skim, no big deal. Free found money. Since you didn't answer the question if people can control those fraud detection settings, I'll assume they can be tinkered with. What's 1% of an affiliates sales.. 5%.. 10%.. Hell, even 30% like some on FlashCash's forum are posting about..

Seems to me a great idea is going to cost a lot of programs scrutiny under the affiliates watchful eyes because of some very big gaps in information on how their traffic and sales are being treated.
