But getting control also means taking responsibility - something many webmasters don't want to do.
The ability to process credit cards is not a god given right. The processors are doing many a favor by giving them a way to process credit cards for a small fee. Many site operators could not even get one, and getting a high risk adult merchant account is one thing but keeping it is another.... and if you lose it, getting a second is almost impossible.
Everyone complains about processor abuses, but they all know how to stop it -- just get your own merchant account.
Of course then, if they have problems, they couldn't blame anyone but themselves.

i agree with you in part. those with excessive cb's should be termed (then again, anyone can cry excessive cb's now); this is also not a year and a half ago. most companies will not give a high risk account any longer. so for those who never even thought of getting their own merchant acct, they are putting all their faith into a processor who, at any given time, can say cest la vie!
