First, look at what a site can make from a single join - (And both failed joins and non-comittals) 30% chance of a cross sale - 30% chance of member area upsell, and by constant spamming afterwards - Probably around 3 joins to other programmes -

Problems arise with niche sites - When the programme has a shit members area, and few sites to sell that join on to - (or rather, few sites willing to pay for that join) - This is the area where you see webmasters complaining of being canned for no reason, and programmes blaming them for sending 40 joins all of which cancelled - (If it was for general/amateur traffic, they wouldn't even consider canning).
I'm sure a lot of people would like it to be illegal or atleast illegal without specific notification; before of the possibility, as it occurs and included in any stats available to the affiliate.

If programs are shaving because they can't get their shit correct, they should get out of the business and stop making other people pay for their own incompetencies.
