Here's my original message to their support

Hi,

Recently I saw that some models place big links on their chat rooms where it says "Sign Up" or other kind of stuff... How I see, these links are their own affiliate links, which means, they don't only make money from their own show, but if they refer a new user they will make a commission from that too... Which is completely fine, but

What if someone who gets to chaturbate.com from my affiliate link, simply sees this big "Sign Up" button and clicks it... who gets the credit for this user? Will my affiliate code be overwrited by the models affiliate id, or the new users will still go under me?

Here are two quick examples:
Chat with Livegoddess in a Live Adult Video Chat Room Now
Chat with Kokette22 in a Live Adult Video Chat Room Now

Thanks,

Their answer was

Dear zerovic,

If a user signs up using these model's links, then the credit will go to the model, even if they clicked on your affiliate link first.

My response

Wow, then why do you allow these kind of stuff? So basically, a model can steal my traffic with these eye catchy links? This has to be fixed asap!

And the last response

Dear zerovic,

Every user has the ability to earn referral bonuses through their referral links.

... btw... every program can choose to honor first cookie or last. In NATS it is called passive link or active link. Punker replied originally that it was a passive link (i.e. first cookie stays, and then has responded saying it is last cookie). Whatever the tracking system, you can honor either. Those that buy a shit ton of pops would cookie a passive link so their link stands no matter who sent the traffic.
