We shouldn't have to TRY to read your fucking post. We don't care about your wigger lifestyle.

Maybe consider writing a thesis and add value to the community. You may find people respect you more.. or continue to sound like an idiot and anything but a professional. Your choice.
BTW, I miss Sumit.
good luck bro

No I agree with you more than you think. A network should not cut commission on referrals no should it tell people when they sign up they could get more by dropping the refer. Both of those are bad business ethics.
My point was that there is very little that can be done to prevent the loss of commission from referrals one way or another. Either the person is to stupid to earn so you don't make anything or they are smart enough to make some money and figure out that they can make another account under themselves to increase profit.
So loosing commissions from from top preforming referrals is enviable unless you provide them with long term service of value, because they are essentially paying you money they could get. So although the network is doing something rather unethical the moral outrage is not there because if they let accounts stay grandfathered and did not offer to let affiliates drop refers for more payments the situation would be about the same. The exception being the idiots that just get lucky but are to stupid to realize they are giving up a portion of their profits.

right, that's the fairest thing to do. at least then, i have the option of wether i wish to continue promoting them...which i would not. obviously, referrals are valuable to them, otherwise, why wouldn't they just say no referral commissions from here on out? maybe because they know that they would be seeing a slump in growth due to lack of referrals.
I think you're missing the point here dude...
If YOU make 50k you get a $500 camera
If YOUR referrals make you 50k (at 5%) you get $2500
Big difference
Whether anyone cares or not, I've made a public response:

Some wont like it, some will.

i think we're saying the same thing. sorry, according to some people here, my ghetto english is difficult to understand.
my point is, it's more beneficial to me for my referrals to collectively gross 50k in sales and earn me $2500 commission, than for me to try to earn the equivalent in rewards by pushing for 250k in sales just to win a 52" LCD TV.
Why would you go to the publisher and say that to him? So he can signup under a new ID so you don't have to pay referral commission? That's what it sounds like to me, correct me if I'm wrong?
If that's the case, thats just bad business, IMO.
I understand that, but the point here is now you are getting something for your work instead of benefiting more for others doing that work for you.
That's the big difference here.
I didn't realize that C2M actually takes 2% (or 5%) from the referred affiliate's commission, instead of paying it from their own pocket. Is this common practice? How does it work exactly? Is it visible in the stats or is it magically shaven from your commissions?
It's more a matter of principle than it is about who makes what. It's okay to change the commission for new affiliates, because you have to choice to stop promoting them. But I don't think it's fair to change a commission that is promised for the lifetime of an account.

It's taken from their margins. For math's sake, let's say the network gets $10 from the advertiser for an offer and are paying affiliates $6. If they want to work at a minimum of 20% and you get bumped, they can move you to $8 and still make their 20%.
However, if you have a referrer, your max payout will be $7.50 with $.50 going to the referrer. The network is still paying $8 on the offer in total ($7.50 for you and $.50 for the referrer) but you aren't getting everything you can. If they were to pay you $8 and your referrer $.50 they are only making 15%.
That's how I've been told it works, at least
Honestly, I think it's very bad business. Why not just give 2% from the beginning?
In the real business world someone would get sued for something like this.
