Well, this is taken from the public forums at gpwa, where Greg posted about his problem:

I hear what you’re saying, Greg. And I know there are some bad webmaster/affiliates out there. Just as there are bad casinos, players, etc.But the fact is that the GPWA is not a “policing” organization. We have rules, of course, and those who break them are subject to penalties of one form or another. But we can’t “make” anyone do anything, whether it is who they promote, or how they conduct their private business. We are a group on independent contractors who come together for our mutual benefit. People come and go as they please.
Another fact is that, in this relationship, the affiliate programs have absolute power. Affiliates have no control whatsoever over anything except advertising and promotion of casinos. Any stats, payments, terms or conditions are completely under the control of the programs. If you can’t do anything to correct the situation, for sure you can’t expect that we can.
Programs must accept responsibility for policing their own programs and taking appropriate action when necessary. If you have all the advantages of having complete control, then you must also accept the responsibility that comes with it. Can’t take the “goodies” and then complain when a bad part comes along.
As for communication among the program managers, they do this all the time. For sure they go from managing one program to another. Surely they talk with old co-workers about this and that. To think otherwise is naive. SA mgrs talk, CR mgrs talk. They know who these people are.
I have no problem with that. I’m out here taking a chance on making a profit, and the casinos are doing the same. Taking a gamble as surely as the players who visit their casinos.
My two cents, anyway.
