sorry but that sounds like you fucked up and expect your affiliates to suffer because of your fuckup.

sorry but that is unacceptable. if you are going to change terms to seize money people earned and were promised under your old terms , you should have implemented a system that webmasters AGREE to the new terms.

i have a process in place to protect myself from accumulating large debtors too, i pay them. It is a novel idea, just might work.
Do your lawyers or accountants send you sales ? then i would expect you get approval from the people MAKING you money , not the people taking your money
just a suggestion though.

cmon now, thats a load of horseshit, how does this "protect active affiliates" in ANY way.
Not much comfort knowing you are paying new affiliates with money seized from old affiliates. kind of a ponzi scheme isn't it..

what kind of process would that be ? the one where you have 2 different terms, the one where your affiliates aren't aware of tos changes ? The only time my accounts have EVER been closed due to inactivity from any sponsor i have been sent a check with the current amount due.

i think if you are going to quote how many affiliates you pay it is only fair you post how many people don't get paid .

that is not much of a guarantee if the true disclaimer is " unless we change the terms tomorrow and decide not to pay you because our lawyers and accountants say its cool "
