Very good use of “shite” in this context :thumbsup:
Firstly, programs should announce what they are doing and not ambush webmasters and visitors alike.
Secondly, if you need to redirect then take the time to build in a notice for visitors explaining what you´re doing and why you´re doing it (doesn´t take a rocketscientist programmer to do this). That way you don´t make yourself and your affiliates look like an incompetent bunch of morons.
