Don't You TGPOWNERS Want To Stop Being Screwed?

But if I am the type to sell off part of my partner account, how is limiting my domains going to stop that? Say I request a partner account from you, and I say I will be using domainA, domainB, and domainC. You check the whois, and they all match and it all looks legit and you approve me.

Then I turn around and sell the domainB name or usage rights of it to someone else.

So what is solved? And how is it solved?

I'm just asking rhetorically, you really don't have to answer. Or answer, and I'll read it whenver I look in again.

That's a good question. I guess now it'll be all clear.
This is how it's today:

CHEATER
-----------
He is hosting his domains on a redirect server etc. But he has no good galleries to apply for partner status (often they have samples though) cuz he is not into making good galleries, hosting them on a reliable server, buying content, etc. How can he be listed? The thing is that CHEATER earns A LOT on his traffic, but how can he get traffic without being a partner on tgps? The only thing he can do is to BUY an account from a reseller.

RESELLER
-------------
He has some content and good samples but he is not into routins of building galleries on a daily basis at all - no time, no skills, no will, etc
So he preferrs to apply for patner status (from multiple domains/emails etc). When he gets an account he finds CHEATER and sells him the account together with the email address.


After having bought an account for $250 CHEATER submits his galleries (3 galleries a day on big tgps!!!) and gets LOTS of traffic and earns $400 cuz his redirect is smart and he gets banned after more then 1 day listings.



TOTALSUM
-------------
RESELLER has got easy $250
CHEATER has got $400-$250=$150 of easy $$$
TGP OWNER got fooled
Honest submitter gets screwed cuz TGPOWNER wants free partner accounts no more etc.


HOW IT ALL COULD BE:

The partner account allowed posting from only 3 domains. All of them were precisely assigned to this account: domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com. The RESELLER showed samples from all of those domains, TPOWNER knows the whois and stuff.
But RESELLER gets fooled cuz he cannot sell the domain to a CHEATER, cuz CHEATER will have to buy RESELLER's domains and set up a redirect script on them (not simple htaccess things at all). This takes time etc, besides RESELLER is not willing to sell his domain - it's active, it has content on it, it's the domain he can apply for partner status with.

RESELLER has a partneraccount he cannot resell
CHEATER has got no traffic without partner accounts
TGP OWNER is happy
HONEST SUBMITTER is happy cuz TGPOWNER loves free partner accounts :-)
