So I take it that you think that everything is down to the affiliate? and that the producer has nothing of value to input other than dropping everything in order to learn all there is to know about being an affiliate?

I'm sorry but there does seem to be a distinct group of affiliates on every board that appear to act like the most important link in the chain.
I do have affiliates - on another site (a number that grows every day), I ask each one what they want from me and I produce bespoke material for them. The ones I have say that they are very happy with what I do.
The affiliates I have ask for intro clips, galleries etc and I do spend a lot of time doing them and if they asked for something else then they'd get it. What my affiliates don't do is just complain that I'm inexpert.
I'm not an expert on taxation either, but I don't have to be... that's what I pay an accountant for - to do the job he's qualified to do. Not to moan about the dismal state of my receipts.
Affiliates take a decent cut of profits so why not at least treat people with some patience and common decency?

Don't bother replying either - I was misinformed about this place and I won't be back.
