And this alone to not damage your own status as an honest affiliate webmaster that tries to establish long lasting sponsor-webmaster dossiers for his own business. And for the record, i am not backing up sponsors in forums, but i dont show them I demolish their name without any hesitations. Removal of links for a the time trust is hurt, pfffff, i can go with that, making a teasing logo where they are reminded at their responsibilities, pfff i can go with this also... but i know where I need to draw a line when it is not my case or fight...
It's quite simple, if a program doesn't want to pay a legit affiliate then there are no rules. What's a fair way to fight back against non-paying programs? To hurt their business as much as possible.

What's a good way to avoid this? Pay affiliates that earn you money legally and legitimately. Don't want an affiliate promoting your programs a certain way? Put it in your fucking terms of service, that's the entire point of having a TOS, anything that is NOT ILLEGAL should never be assumed.

Dirty D could have simply paid Shoehorn, changed his TOS and this would all be over. Instead he wants to act like a jagoff that's invincible and that he has nothing to gain by paying money owned.
