Screenshots below.
- ALL consoles automatically steal your surfer by overwriting your code -- EVEN if the console is not clicked. Bottom line... if the console pops, you are fucked. For example, they have a new Black Friday console that fucks you every single time. No mercy.
- Even if you turn off consoles in your link they still pop fairly frequently (when the surfer backs out of the join page). It's nice that Sextronix allows you to disable consoles. But even when disabled, I still see them pop occasionally. About 1:25 or so?
- There are serious leaks on the tours.
- There are serious leaks on many of the join pages.
- If a surfer follows one of the leaks, your code will be overwritten -- almost guaranteed.
- Once Sextronix has overwritten your affiliate code, you're fucked. They DO NOT overwrite their own cookie. Only yours. So even if your surfer closes the tab, goes back to your site, and re-clicks your link... You're still fucked.
- The "actionsignup" cookie is the one in question. (In case someone wants to research it themselves.)
As I said above... I want to like Sextronix. But after seeing this shit, I'll be avoiding them until they fix it. They promise "NO SHAVE" but based on these tests -- well, I'll let you be the judge.
For the record, I made this post for 2 reasons.
- They lied. When I asked them about this stuff, they promised the leaks wouldn't fuck up the cookies. But I can demonstrate time after time, that they do (because of the consoles). They also claim that you can completely disable the consoles. In my tests, that is false - especially when clicking through the leaks.
- I believe this is a New Age for porn. Old-school porn networks CANNOT and WILL NOT survive by doing old-school shit. They MUST stop fucking over their members (and their affiliates) to gain immediate profits.
There are too many legit companies who are doing things the "right" way. Say what you want about MindGeek, but you can get PornHub Premium for $95/year. Free Week. $9.99 rebill. No hidden fees. No bullshit. Throw in their free Roku app and they are a whisper away from becoming the defacto Netflix of Porn.
They are thinking long-term. They are focused on making members happy for years, not minutes.
And if companies like Sextronix continue with this shifty bullshit, they will continue to lose affiliates -- and they will continue to disappear. Adapt of die, folks! 
Last thought... Anyone want to wager how long it will take Sextronix to remove the cookie information from those join pages? If they are interested in transparency, and if they want to prove that they really are "NO SHAVE" they'll leave it there so we can check it anytime. |
Hi XSAXS,
Thanks for your post - I appreciate you bringing your concerns to the forefront and hopefully I have addressed them all thoroughly for you below. I can’t say that a negative post is useful, but in your previous thread regarding us you questioned if we were still alive. A second thread with the floor as an opportunity to speak about our product only confirms that we are indeed, alive.
Right now we are in the midst of a large changeover, this changeover will apply to ALL of our sites and programs. During this time of change there are fixes that come along with all of it. This migration period may bring some bugs, our QA team is working hard to resolve them and we appreciate affiliate's cooperation if they discover any unusual behaviour that they notify us right away. We apologize for any inconvenience during this time as we are upgrading systems that we have been working with for 18 years.
On the positive side we have lots of exciting stuff underway - we will be making a public post once everything has been done.
1. This issue has been addressed - there is no over ride at all for any pops of any kind - this includes the promo pop you have shown on your screenshot.
2. We were unable to reproduce this issue, we have had several people test it - both in and out of the office. Without seeing it ourselves we are not able to address this concern further. - please message one of us directly on Skype.
3. This was related to affiliate ID overriding (please refer to point 1.) This issue has been resolved and there is no leak. Even if the surfer selects the bonus sites the affiliate ID will carry over and your commission will be assigned correctly.
4. We could not reproduce this one either. Other site thumbs on joins are always paid if the user joins from another site. Cookies are universal, however we will try to reproduce for all conditions and until then we switched off links on them.
5. Please refer to all the above points.
6. We are not overriding any affiliate ID or cookie which means the commission and surfer are yours.
7. As explained above - the cookie issue has been resolved.
If I match your information on GFY in our system, not sure if it is you but we have a webmaster with the username XSAXS. It looks like you haven’t pushed any traffic since June of 2015 (you did mention you are not promoting our products) hopefully with the above mentioned information you choose us again. If you have anything further to speak about message one of us on Skype and we would be happy to talk about any other questions you have.
