I suspect that like other 3rd party processors they have multiple fraud settings for levels of clients and you prolly are on the bottom of the list marked as "scrub that muthafucka skinless" fraud settings where someone with Shap's volume would be set at "bro client" and "scrub with a feather brush" setting.

Precisely and to back that up with REAL FACT here you go...I will simply reiterate another point I tried to make with no real success...
Two years ago in the beginning of 2009 we started off seeing denials for the first 2 months like quadruple our normal amount, and while we were seeing those denials, we were having mad flurries and signups with the backup processor..so check this out...
we telephone ccbill and say hey wtf is going on with all these denials....
their response and I swear on my name was...."yep I see looking at your account your settings have been adjusted for some reason.... Not sure why it was adjusted but I will go ahead and make some changes to the adjustments and you should see the denials go down"
Thats a quote and thats what happened. They made some instant an immediate changes to our account and bingo in an instant the denials went back down to normal levels and signups returned for a fair period of time!
So now that thats is out lets ask a few questions about what actually happened...
1. Who decided our client account needed adjustments?
2. Why couldn't ccbill send us a communication that adjustments had been made?
3. Why would adjustments be made when we had a very low level of chargebacks, and fraud,refunds,etc.?
4. What other clients of ccbill have had their accounts "ADJUSTED" without them knowing?
5. How many times has our account been "adjusted" before without us knowing?
6. If someone can make adjustments arbitrarily to your account without your consent or even knowledge...wouldn't that pose a conflict of interest somewhere????
I mean how many fucking times has it been crammed down our throats... "Oh we are here to make money, there is nothing we would do to impact sales....when you make money we make money...we are unaware of any problems that would be affecting sales"
So those questions were never answered for me in a clear intelligible fashion and that remains until this day!
So for those of you who want to post your pot of gold daily stats.... Do me a favor and move that rook out of position and post screen shots of your "MONTHLY CUMULATIVE JOIN FORM SUBMISSION PERCENTAGES vs. APPROVAL PERCENTAGES" for the past 5 months!
That is the magic dragon, and I assure you that they do not want that can of worms to be opened because we might just begin to see who's shitting and who's farting...pardon the lewdness but its gfy.
Because regardless of the back and forth round and round tit for tat...at the end of the day my money is on the join form percentages being a beacon of light for us webmasters!
In other words there is no way those join form submission percentages should week after week reflect MAXIMUM SUBMISSION PERCENTAGES when form hits are low...and inversely MINIMUM SUBMISSION PERCENTAGES when form hits are high.
Now if we really get into this issue of join form submission percentages you can either shut me up once and for all, or the earth underneath this mother will begin to shake!
It's been said by ccbill reps that they stand 100% behind their numbers...well I can stand 100% behind my numbers as well.
