a affiliate who uses my content for evil

[justmyopinion]

Torn,

You have made many mistakes each of which will probably cost you affiliates:

1.
You sent a C&D to your affiliate's host without giving your affiliate time to respond to your complaint.

2.a
You ran to a board to complain about an affiliate without giving your affiliate time to respond to your complaint.
2.b.
You posted your affiliate's whois info and domains on a board called possible cheaters and implied that he is a cheater whose account you already terminated and telling that you wrote a C&D to him and to his host.
Again without giving your affiliate time to respond to your complaint.

3.
You posted your affiliate's private email address and home address on a board.
(this isn't much of a tragedy in this case since Kloot had his home address listed in his domains whois info but about 50% of webmasters don't have their home address in their whois information - including Torn aka PO Box 8xxx - and I think Torn wouldn't be happy if I started posting his home address on message boards.)

4.You were insulting and abusive towards your affiliate by calling him "little piss ant".


These 4 acts by you made sure that I will NEVER touch your program.
I suspect that many other affiliates don't want to see this kind of behaviour from affiliate programs.

Tips for affiliate programs:
Do NOT use boards as the first stop for solving problems (this applies also to affiliates).
Respect your affiliates privacy.(this applies also to affiliates).
Act respectfully towards your affiliates and other people (this applies also to affiliates).
Do NOT make rash decisions in the heat of the moment (this applies also to affiliates).


You will be forever infamous as the clueless program owner who didn't get skimming and tgps but to me you will be just another example of a person who runs to the boards, makes rash decisions, doesn't care about their affiliate's privacy and acts abusively.

Good luck with the path you have chosen.
