Rant Chaturbate banned my 7 year old affiliate account because I refused to pass my domain to them

[Metrus]

Hi!

I waited 4 months to go public with this story because I naively thought that maybe this situation can be somehow resolved but Chaturbate ceased any contact with me. With affiliate who promoted them for almost 7 years.

Basically, Chaturbate banned me because I refused to pass my domain to them. Account which was profitable for both me and them. Now my account is making money only for them since they have disabled my payouts. Since 4 months, I have no access to affiliate stats page and my payouts are disabled.

The domain is a nice and very brandable 5 letter COM. Chaturbate accused me of a non authorized use of some trademark which I clearly haven't used.

They straight asked me for transfer authorization code for the domain so they can pass it to previously mentioned trademark owner. After I explained that I do not use this trademark, they asked again and then banned me and ceased any contact.

I haven't even received a message with information that I got banned so I don't know the exact ban date and which rule of their terms I broke. I just logged one time, noticed it, asked them and I got reply that my account is suspended.

Chaturbate representative ignored all my e-mails. My latest message to support didn't even received a ticket ID.

Chaturbate was truly great for me for all these 7 years. However, their request was just out of hand for me that I had to refuse it. I worked very hard for all these years promoting them.

Main lesson learned from this story? Life time revshare refers to your ACCOUNT life time.

Take care.
