Hi,
First of all I want to express how sorry I am about you suffering from spam scum :spam: I can relate to the frustration. I would also like to add that Gambling Wages does not in any way condone spam, and we will work with you guys at CAP to fight them :shooter:
From what I see this is a miss-understanding. The affiliate you are mentioning is a big affiliate would never spam a forum. He/she does do a lot of PPC advertising.
As many of you already know a lot of second tier PPC traffic comes from spamers. My guess is this:
A spamer is affiliated with some second tier PPC. He spams your forum to promote his PPC ads (of which he gets a commission for every click). The affiliate you mention is innocently promoting us on that particular PPC. He did not spam you, although he/she is paying people (the PPC engine) who are paying people (the spamer) who spamed you.
I may be missing something since I am working with a limited amount of information. Can you please provide me, via sticky messaging or my email nicolas at gamblingwages dot com, with the links where you found this affiliate id, and all information possible (the more information, the more I understand, the more I can help).
Best Regards,
Nicolas Johnson
