Perhaps the reason NATs is at the forefront of this issue right now is because from the affiliate standpoint it appears it's the NATs module that's doing this. Maybe you could give us some broad strokes about how it works and how much control the program has over it.
The program has very little control over it. But it was built to FlashCash's specifications as they were the ones who needed it. We avoid writing one off software and our policy has always been from day one that anything put into NATS is put into NATS for everyone. Flashcash doesn't have control over how much is fraud and how much is not. There is a set of rules which is applied the same for every affiliate every day of the week. These rules were in place well before NATS and now that affiliates see the numbers they are complaining.

You said above you suggested to them they don't show the full signup #s, IMO thats absolutely the wrong way to go about it. Affiliates deserve to know the full story, which is what we required of them in order to agree to the feature. I can't believe anyone, especially someone like you who seems concerned about the numbers, would rather NOT see the full numbers and know exactly what is going on.
