Someone’s reputation for integrity and honesty goes a long way and their actions say even more.
I had a recent experience where I sent someone a private and confidential email meant for them only. It appears as though they did not wish to correspond with me and instead of just letting me know- which I would have understood, they decided to send my email, included the headers with my ip information to someone I am currently in litigation with and who continues to harrass me. Of course they knew about the situation pending, and nevertheless had no right to send anyone my confidential email much less my ip information. The hack attempts on my home network have naturally multiplied since that time. I hardly know this person but they surely didn’t display a basic understanding of ethics and have caused me unnecessary grief.
As far as my site is concerned, I definitely try to only maintain ads for those properties who I know will provide a good experience for players. If there is a reputation for nonpayment or an affiliatation with a group that is known to not pay clients, I refuse to carry them. This has cost me ad revenue but I feel I owe it to my patrons to ensure their experience in gaming is always a positive one from my portal – this is what keeps them coming back.
