Allegedly bad affiliates should be pointed out with the same criteria that allegedly bad casinos are. But there is a problem here. Posts similar to the first one here could be used as a means of extortion in a business negotiation between parties, particularly if the paper trail is not as clear as it may be here.
This works in both directions. Blaming and shaming a program can be used the same way as you point out blaming and shaming affiliates can.
