What I am pissed about is Vivid Kept my money!

That particular situation, no. but I did have a problem with Vivid which led to me pulling every Vivid link I could think of. If I still send them any traffic it's from a very old page and is an oversite.

Long story short, they suspended my account because of an odd sale on their Vivid Live program. They claimed they would not unsuspend my account until I explained where I was sending traffic from, I did and they re-instated my account. I went in to check the details on this mysterious sale and all I saw were zeroes across the board.

When I asked why I couldn't see the sale in question, they said it was against their policies to discuss such things. Cocksuckers.

A very nice offline presence, and a shit poor affiliate program if you ask me (not just based on my disappearing sale, but on their affiliate marketing tools, backend navigation and stats as well).

Preacher,

We will never disclose a reason for fraudulent account termination. That is my policy. However, with Vivid Live we do not handle the fraud checks. Fraud is handled by Video Secrets, so any account terminations would be passed along directly from them.

I'm curious though, when did this take place? Were you seeing zeros for all of Vivid Cash or for Vivid Live only?

We recently redeveloped our entire affiliate program doing away with all third party tracking software, and what you described sounds like Jumbo, which was our old platform. The new system is incredibly fast and since it's been live I have never heard it described as 'shit poor'.

I just logged into your back-end and yes, it is completely different from what I was describing as shit poor. So I apologize for not double checking first, though you of course you knew the old platform was 'shit poor' or you wouldn't have changed.

I can understand not wanting to disclose every single detail, but I at least expected to see a sale followed by chargeback in the stats, but again it was your old stats so maybe your new stats would treat the situation differently.

I've been doing a lot with pornstar content lately... To sound like a total hypocrite I'll take another look at your program. I didn't promote Wicked until they moved to NATS and had an actual working back-end so in that respect your program is not much different.
