TheDoc, without being able to see what is going on it the background, there is no way for an affiliate to really know. While we all have to have trust in a program, I would prefer to know exactly under what circumstances I get paid and what circumstances I don't get paid on.
It also opens a can of worms, because other programs could easily adopt the use of this module and suddenly a new level of fraud detection comes into the game, which some could very easily use as the "acceptable" way to skim from a NATS system. Just like programs pushing chargebacks onto affiliates, one program does it, and then everyone else slowly comes in and does the same, pushing the monetary risks of fulfilling a customer after the sale back onto the affiliates.
I think NATS has just created a "full disclosure" skim module of sorts. I can smell the potential abuses from a mile away.
