Yes, that's one of the reasons I was so disappointed in the email last week and then in Paul's followup here on GFY where he tried to insinuate that people concerned by the vague new requirements were somehow shady and undesirable as affiliates.

I've dealt positively with Paul in the past. His input helped get me paid last June on some money I was due in February. After seven emails, I came away convinced the program was honest but bureaucratic. I should have gotten my money without having to ask for it (much less argue for it) but there were plausible reasons offered for why that didn't happen. I was a satisfied affiliate at the end of the exchange.

But: that history makes me less charitable than I otherwise would be, when the company announces that it no longer intends to pay people automatically. Paying people without demand should be the default policy. If you change from that default policy, it needs a much better explanation than the vague and menacing affiliate email this thread is complaining about.
