I have rarely seen poker rooms attack affiliates in public forums but it is not uncommon to see some portion of the affiliate community not hesitate to make false accusations and attempt to defame the operators. It is hardly surprising that Party Poker has an official policy of not even responding to forums.
Unfortunately, it is frequently the case that the only recourse affiliates have is to spill the beans on a public forum in an effort to stop other affiliates falling into the same trap. Affiliate programs would have no reason whatsoever to criticise particular affiliates on a forum unless they were responding to derogatory comments (much like you are here). It’s not like affiliates can change their T&C’s and steel the poker rooms players or fail to account for referred players or many of the other underhand things affiliate programs have been reported as doing. it is largely a very one-sided business relationship unless you are an extremely big affiliate!
