I read all the threads and I didnt see anything excessive either. Just people asking about their payments. Some times people have a different level of comfort when it comes to discussions. I personally think that communciations are paramount to maintaining relationships and even when the going gets a little tough I prefer to keep going.
I also believe 99% of the managers out there appreciate questions and input from their affiliates and look at these as opportunites to improve their program.
Refusal to having a forum is not a cause in and of itself for decertification. What IS a cause is if problems are not resolved in a timely manner or they are unresponsive to arbitration requests. In the case of Betfred neither of these have occured yet. But if they do and if affiliates are not paid whats due then you can expect we will take the appropriate action.
