Sponsors who suspend webmasters for inactivity

I've had this happen several times, always by a small CCBill program. My best guess is that they think that most inactive affiliate accounts are really surfers looking for more free content.

Some of the accounts likely are non-webmasters, but it seems to me that the cost vs reward would be pretty low. In fact, it may even have an overall detrimental effect if they 'piss off' a couple of affiliates with big traffic that just hadn't gotten that planned niche site built yet.

A far more effective use of the time would be to review new affiliates sign-ups as they come in, before sending an email giving user/pass to the promo area. But that would mean checking things daily.
