As for the real issue at hand in this thread, I think what's grating on affiliates is rather than send an email out to the specific webmasters on a case by case basis it was blasted out to the entire program list. In effect, whether intentional or not, your chastising every webmaster who's taken the time to register for your program for something the majority have not done.

If the issue is you don't want affiliates spamming message boards with unwelcome content it shouldn't be difficult to locate which affiliates are spamming the message boards and contact them directly. If the issue is you don't want your promotional content posted on websites that are high volume and low conversion, if it's promotional content you are making available through your program and you're affiliates aren't posting it where it's unwanted or unlawful, it does seem like a hollow complaint. While I know TGP directories and the like don't convert like they used to, it does seem a bit odd that you wouldn't want your promotional content added, if thats what you're trying to say.

Regardless of the point you're trying to make, it's still best addressed individually with the webmasters who's activity you are unhappy with, rather than your entire program on the whole. The email does read like you are unhappy with the specific performance of the recipient, that they have somehow engaged in practices you find to be unsavory, when in fact it's most likely not the case. It's your program to run as you wish, just trying to drop my 2 cents on how others might see it and why your affiliates feel like they are being micromanaged.
