I am just getting back into adult after a few years off with mainstream projects. I belong to a lot of mainstream affiliate networks cj.com, linkshare.com etc... and each advertiser can list terms for affiliates to follow in the control panel, which keywords you can bid on etc... I'm not gonna read this whole thread but it sounds like shoehorn was bidding on terms that were not prohibited which converted into sales and was paid and then it stopped because dirty d didn't like the terms he was bidding on, I think the correct action is to pay shoehorn what he is owed and then add keywords that affiliates are not allowed to bid on to your terms and email it out to all affiliates so they know the new terms are in effect immediately, to stiff someone the money that is owed to them for bidding terms that didn't exist when the sales were taking place is horseshit. Sometimes ya gotta make an example out of people regardless of the amount of income. Personally I would sue as I am pretty sure you would win as the terms he is using to not pay didn't exist at the time the sales took place. Hard to enforce a rule that didn't exist. Every click that was made was a paid click into his site so not only is he getting stiffed on his sales but he also lost some cash on pay per click ads. I would sue or go beat this dirty d down as it's about principle and any company that lets a thread grow like this over a few hundred $ is not a real company and after reading this who will promote this shit.
