I also remember a deletion of a thread involving Video Secrets attempt to steal money from an affiliate. Very convenient for them that it suddenly disappeared...
There have been other examples, it's just a matter of digging up old threads if to they are deleted.

To answer your question. No, of course I care most about own business and I expect everyone does the same. That doesn't mean I don't care about other webmasters.
Fx I don't promote Brazzers, AFF, VS just to name a few. Every time a sponsor is revealed screwing their affiliates or are in other ways bad for business, they end up in my personal shitlist. Beleive it or not but I also care about my surfers and what I try to sell.
Well... sounds like you are planning to take a lot of sides in issues and I personally think that would be the kiss of death to this board. How do you know if VS is guilty or innocent? I have never heard of a cam company that didn't have models complaining that they were ripped off, shaved, blah, blah, blah. Just because people don't like Pornhub putting up a skin doesn't automatically make them right and Pornhub wrong for seeking to advertise.

Over the years, many boards have lost their lustre or rusted out completely due to new owners trying to impose various personal directives, vendettas, etc. I hope you will allow the same freedoms and not try to take a side on these matters where there is not clear cut case of right or wrong. It is fine to let the mob of people posting debate the matter, take sides, and come up with solutions.

That back and forth give and take is the lifeblood of any good board imo.
