so as a webmaster, I started dodging the programs tactics, if anything, affiliate reps are whats caused webmaters to start avoiding them.
how many times has someone tried to get ahold of me, even posting to me on gfy, and I get on icq with them and guess what,... its "hey how can i get you to put up more links" crap.
Sorry, but i avoid that shit like i do any spammers

Well, it is probably part of their job to try to drum up more business. There are right ways and wrong ways to do that. I don't see an issue with taking a targeted approach and respectfully contacting somebody to find out how you can work more together. It is all in how it is done, how often and what research you have done before making contact.
With the emails, again..just filter.
If a sponsor is handing out content to be used doesn't is stand that they have the right to have valid contact details. If nothing else to deal with any abuse of those materials?
That isn't at all why I started this thread but I do think it is a valid point. If people want to use content provided by a sponsor I don't see why the sponsor shouldn't have the right to have proper contact information.
