This all boils down to a real BrotherHood where enough big traffic people from all areas - TGPs/MGPs/LinkLists/Sponsors/FreeSites/Submitters/HubCreators/Blogs/SEOptimizers/Legal - set standards for the industry on a whole. If the TGP won't accept you unless *insert rule* and the LinkList won't accept you unless *insert rule* and sponsors won't allow *insert rule* and so on......then the industry will have standards, people who don't follow them won't benefit from traffic. Also, it's becomes like 'self ruling' and we won't have to wait for the government/governments to put rules into effect which will affect growth/cause legal issues/taxing to deter buyers/profitability to both affiliates and sponsors alike...and so on
yeah i understand that it was a whole other matter, in that they had to comply or "get busted"....but circumstances aside, it was still proof that the industry can move in unison IF they're motivated enough

and you make a good point that switching to a TGP2 type promo model would have more than just the conversion benefit. self regulation is something else that a lot of people are barking about but not really biting.
