This seems very odd. Lucky247 spam even more of a problem than CR, yet Lucky247 appear to have an aggressive enforcement policy against the affiliates doing it. Something doesn't seem right here. Surely more aggressive enforcement should see less offending. 32Red are rarely the source of spam complaints, and they appear to take the issue very seriously, which is probably WHY they don't have a problem with spammy affiliates. Whatever 32Red are doing obviously works, so if Lucky247 did the same, they too could kill off almost all of the spam.
I am still seeing Lucky247 spam caught in the filters, along with the usual CR stuff, and the usual from the other less reputable sites that don't give a **** in any case.
If Lucky247 are closing offending affiliate accounts, the problem must lie elsewhere, such as it being too easy for banned spammers to simply replace their closed affiliate account by opening another. This opens the way for a business model for spammers of opening multiple "disposable" affiliate accounts, and going for broke in the first month or two in order to get as much traffic as they can before complaints lead to their accounts being shut down. This would not really work in a revenue share situation, but is ideal for CPA deals.
Well the respective reps have given me an e-mail addy to forward the offending spam to. It seems they are playing bedknobs and broomsticks with them though.
