I also ran a CCBill affiliate program (60%) and not once did I ever drop an affiliates payouts.
I got a check from CCBill last night in my mailbox, and I went to check to see where those signups came from, and low and behold, this years model was set to 1%. Not once did I receive an email from them, and not once did I break any type of TOS.

honestly I don't think SBJ was blaming you for this, in his post he alluded to not promoting them due to other practices he finds problematic.
but he raises an interesting point; this fuck over is not across the board. Natalie confirmed it. so maybe they skimp where they can or couldn't be bothered to email you with whatever concerns they have (I'm assuming you signed up with an email you check often). who knows, but it's fuckery if they have a decent contact method for you
it's bullshit to steal by cutting payout percentage with no warning and no reason (that they bothered to let you know about at least)
pretty sure everyone here agrees

I know we are all sons of bitches that spew porn for a living, but I'm not sure I'm ok with that kind of verbiage, especially when it's highlighted like it is 
oh well, to each his own  |
bless those awesome men who bought me drinks (expecting nothing in return) when I was overtly underage but on a porn site? not appropriate
I get the fantasy they are trying to evoke but real men don't need to get a chica drunk to get laid
I dunno, honestly never heard about the site until this thread. I agree with you OP that after being treated in this manner you have no recourse but to move on.
to better things
