You mentioned earlier that when you caught an affiliate breaking the rules you setup an alternate landing page to trick the affiliate into thinking he/she would still be getting paid so they would keep sending hits ( and so your advertisers werent harmed by the traffic )
How much did you make off the alternate landing page, and/or what percentage of your profits were generated from affiliates who didnt get paid ?

Do you think your mindset will ever change?

well, while I'm certainly glad you realized you weren't bright enough to always be right, your situation has nothing to do with mine. I don't speak until I know I'm right. Not assuming, not guessing, not relying on hearsay. I'm always right because I'm very careful in my determinations. will I ever be less careful? no, I won't.

this isn't true. many many small webmasters take up too much of my time. I take care of them all. The people I have no time for are the ones who, while you're busy helping them (and many times teaching them the business) they come to the boards calling you a cheater or questioning your business ability.
THEN, I have no time for you.

This is one of the hard facts about the internet. You never REALLY know people. you only have a good impression of frank because of your LIMITED dealings with him. I know him as a cheater because I dealt with him on a different level.
No different than the guy who kills his family and the neighbors say,"he was always a nice guy to me. This is a shock"

We never gave less than a month's notice and the notice was always via email AND on the stats page.


So you admit too changing your TOS.

So in my mind I picture the scenario of Franck building a page according to your TOS and somewhere down the line you change your rules and make new ones and Franck never went back to edit the page or pages he made to promote your program.

If at the time the page he built was compliant then you changed your rules, how does that make him a cheater? I don't see the logic.

You don't see the logic because you've never run a program. YOU NEVER EVER WANT TO LOSE A GOOD AFFILIATE. you buy into this whole idea of my identifying someone as a cheater lightly because you have no idea how valuable an affiliate is.
Also, my response to frank was a response to his lie that we "changed the TOS every other week to make people cheaters. This is simply a lie. cheaters lie. I'm sure frank would like everyone to believe that he just didn't change his old pages to comply with the TOS but thats not how you become a cheater. People who had that problem were given a list of their urls that needed changing and then asked to comply. If they had multiple pages and the refering page wasn't in their top top referers, we probably wouldn't notice, much less care.
No, to be marked a cheater, you've got to be cheating. frank is lying about the past. You don't need to lie when you're right.

I can honestly say I never cheated and have been the one cheated on more times than I can even remember.

how convenient for you to be running a small program and explaining how most of the "players" cheat.
son, that type of marketing doesn't work.

Plenty of programs make changes and adjustments to their TOS on the fly. Not all of them give notice, and of those that do not all of them give a full month's notice.

If an affiliate gets proper notice but fails to make the required changes, exacly who is at fault? Hell, I've got changes pending with a few sponsors of mine right now that I haven't gotten to yet, a few have been pending for more than 6 months. If I'm losing sales or leaking traffic because of it (which I am) I'm certainly not going to blame the sponsor, it's my own damn fault for not making the changes sooner.

If I don't get any notice that's a different story entirely. But I too have been an affiliate of a few of 12click's programs, and I recall always getting prior notice of rule changes. If that wasn't the case he would have certainly gotten a fucking earful from me, small amount of traffic I was sending or not, doesn't matter.

Cheers BV. :D

CD, do you recall our TOS changing every week or was honest frank clearly lying about this?:winkwink:

Fucking bullshit you fucking retard. Fuck you are an idiot class one. Unbefuckinglievable.

I dont cheat sponsors. Period. Not now not 6 years ago. Why the fuck would i?

I tried multiple times to stay within your tos but once again, you kept changing it. And if you notified me about it or not doesnt matter. I couldnt be bothered changing all those pages AGAIN so i simply gave up. And i never bitched about not getting my last check because i knew why. How hard is that to fucking understand you retard fuck??

The funny thing is you kept taking my traffic. So you fucking are cheater here. You take traffic you dont want to pay for. If someone is working outside your tos you cut him off. Both his money AND his fucking traffic you fucking scumbag. Something you didnt and which made you a lot of money. And you pulled this on TONS of people.

You are fucking scum. A cheater who gets away with it for whatever strange reason.

Fucking scumbag. I shit on people like you.

I don't know everything Franck does, but I think he does a fair bit of TGP gallery submitting. So let's take a look at this hypothetical scenario:

We all know that once you submit a gallery you are not allowed to change it. (There are a few exceptions) But as a "general rule" everyone knows (Including 12Clicks i hope) that it's a big no no and against most TGP's terms to change your gallery.

So if Franck did know that the TOS changed, what is he to do if he has a gallery out there listed on a few hundred TGP's?

Change all the links and get BANNED, BLACKLISTED, etc etc....?

It's a tough situation yes, but not a cheater? I don't think so.

Cheers,
BV

again, honest frank's argument is that we changed the TOS every week. this is a lie meant to cover up the truth. None of our changes in TOS would effect TGPs. Number one, we dealt with blindlinks and searchboxes. TGPs didn't allow blindlinks and changing the wording of a search box would not get you banned.
Any other straw you want to grasp for your lying friend?

Not every week but enough to make me want to stop changing my pages. And with me many other people.

A true rss feed would have an article, or in a paysites case, a update desciption....a nice long description, probably the same description that is used in the members area, and a nice sized image.

and what exactly does a program get in return for all of this?

Nothing. the whole idea of a cheater is someone who's sending you fake traffic. If they were sending damaging traffic such as spyware, the accounts were just killed.

Ego is often mistaken for confidence. I've had a few people tell me that I have a pretty big ego. Then after getting to know me they realized that I really don't, I'm just confident in myself.

On the flip side we have people that don't believe in themselves and have no confidence whatsoever. That is usually what's holding them back from being who they really want to be.

Youre a fucking scammer. Thats all. A scamming lying fuck who doesnt deserve any respect. Find anyone who i cheated the last 5 or 6 years. You wont. Simply because i dont cheat.
