Until this industry adopts a code of conduct that the billers are forced to apply by Visa this kind of thing will never stop. On one side I see wanting as little restrictions as possible and on the other side I see people breaking a non existing code of conduct, except TOS. Freedom can easily turn into anarchy.
An affiliate or sponsor hijacking traffic is not illegal, it's unethical and the affiliate will be doing that to others. The thread points out the culprit is off looking for another sponsor. How long will that take? Will Quick Bucks tell us who it is.
If Quick Bucks wanted to they could out the affiliate, they will send a note to CCBILL and Epoch who will tag his account. I'm sure the CCBILL support guys are all over this, what's their response? They know where the checks go.
What amazes me is the billers allow this. If I'm right in my interpretation of what I've read this is what happens. A surfer goes through a tour and likes it enough to join, so goes to the join form. At this point he gets a pop up from another site. That would lead to a pissed off surfer and possible a charge back.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
