FIDDY ridiculously high payout minimums.

certainly IS :2 cents:

I checked their site to see if this is the company he was talking about. They still have a $100 minimum for cheques and it is $1000 for wires , with a $45 fee for wires.

I could see it for International Wires. It's just easier to get things in chunks of 1k with wires.

I forget who it was.. it may or may not have been Twistys -- this was several years ago. Whomever it was, wire payouts had a threshold of 1k or 2k, I forget which. It'd be kind of silly to pay 30 to 50 dollars for anything less than $500.

#1. Relying on their reputation is inane as lots of big companies fold.
#2. I would tell them to close my account and send me the balance owed.

quoted for correct answer.

$1000 min payout = exit scam

Fucking lost it at MetaMan's post... ripped my shirt off in a pseudo bloody warrior like victory war and screamed at the top of my lungs when I read yours :1orglaugh

Walk on ...

Nice email

You talk about the program not caring about the "smaller affiliates"

and then you make them an offer that you won't expose them if they pay you


Who doesn't care about the smaller affiliates now?


Seems like both you and the program are just as selfish

If you are planning on moving one of your cam sites, I have got a sweet deal for you. You'll even be paid, in full and on time! You'll never have to post one of these threads...ever. Shoot me an email.

:thumbsup

Our minimum on checks is 1000 too. Paxum and wire are free and at 100 min. We also have a cam platform.... Hm

Not in the office atm as I am out on vacation but if this is about us drop me an email and we will sort it out.

Cheers!

Edit: the above ain't new though

Nope, not you Roald. :thumbsup

You're making a good point, sonofsam. And perhaps I am a bit selfish. Aren't we all?

But... in the process I am raising awareness and teaching these clowns not to pull shit like this in the future. Next time they'll think twice. The next guy probably won't hesitate to name them immediately.

just fucking out them.

"i'm telling everyone on gfy"

isn't really going to have them worried

:1orglaugh

you are the clown. the problem is that you love their program & dont want to stop promoting them, so you are suffering from battered woman syndrome. you are only showing the GFY community your bruises, & you will protect the name of your attacker, & that you are looking to get more beatings in the future. you even offer to give them more cam traffic :1orglaugh

:2 cents:

yep, too much

Great analogy. :2 cents::2 cents::thumbsup

Minimum is not much the point. When he signed it was a lower minimum, so if the sponsor decides to make it higher, affiliate is entitled to get paid what he is owed (reached under the previous minimum).

So point is shady tactics, not the high minimum itself :)

And NAME THEM FFS!

I agree but it is also the $1000 limit that is daunting. Not only are there less affiliates these days but you, as a Program, are less likely to KEEP those that are left promoting you if you take longer to pay them.

Raising the minimum payouts after signing up is like snatching the football away when Charlie Brown is about to kick it. I am surprised Roald's company would set a check that high; wires I understand (tho the highest minimum I have seen was $500). But as long as an aff knows this going in it's ok, he can make the choice. But to expect a payout, then not get one, then to be told it's been raised tough titties....yeah, not good.

We have minimums set at $20 so all it takes is 1-2 sales and you get a check. Plus, you can combine sales from other Programs into a single check almost gaurunteeing a weekly payout. The best thing about CCBill. :)

In that case send us your traffic ;)

Yeah that's why I edited the post

1000 is fine if you know about it. That is how we do it. I don't waste my time with people who want me to do all the work for them and after 30 e-mails doing their job they put up one link on the bottom of a blog that sends 3 hits a week.

So you've now directly threatened to cause irreparable harm to their business if you don't get compensated,... which is extortion AND then posted public proof of that fact as if you've done people a favor?

Great job brainiac.

You should hope you don't get sued. If their TOS says that they can change the minimum payouts at their discretion and you did agree to it (and even if it doesn't), then i'd hope you're not too stupid to fail to understand that this is not only actionable in civil court, but is also illegal.

I would guess that lemonade stands in the hood, would be one of the few places to find more immature, naive and ignorant people trying to conduct business than exist in this industry.

Why did I just read two pages of nonsense

Cause it's Tuesday. Shrug.

Well, the clowns will probably learn that if they pay and keep types like you to shut up, they can keep up their scamming behaviors.

I could maybe understand if the $700 meant a lot to you, but sound like it doesn't. So why give a fuck and let other people for whom it's actually a big issue suffer?

Just shoot me for reading this crap lol

wtf still no name? someone here should go to the doc and ask why the stones hasn't dropped.

Yeah, what TeenCat, Shemp, and Markul said.

:2 cents::2 cents:

Another vote for Shemp's idea. No need for blackmail.

I know Badoink just raised our minimum to $1000, not a big deal as we usually do that over a couple months. For those who do less in sales I understand how it would be a piss off.

Really? If that's the case, they should edit their Terms and Conditions to reflect the changes and avoid future confusion.

I don't know if affiliates are affected the same as channel owners, it may not be program wide.

Seriously? Why are programs raising the minimum threshold by tenfold? 1000 minimum? Really?

Is this a program's way of attracting only well established traffic gurus and pocket all the minimal affiliate sales?

Interesting way to look at it 👍😆

Ahh, good point.

Not that interesting, pretty straight forward thinking :)

Some sponsors claimed that they do not like to deal with small affiliates, so maybe that is that. Instead of "invite only" they make it 1000 bucks :)

Listen to Shemp. :2 cents: :pimp :thumbsup

He won't respond, he's alt-tabbed over on Craigslist.org looking for a butt buddy.

$1,000 terms is fine, if it was established when you signed into the agreement. Their fine print stating that they reserve the right to change them is bullshit and wouldn't hold any water in court. They also know that affiliates that will bitch about can't afford the counsel, trips etc. to fight it.

They are scum and they know exactly what they are doing. Out these cunts.

Just sayin... :2 cents:

Ding ding ding WINNER.
Hadn't thought of that but, yup.

lol it's not this, AT ALL.. This is the 12clicks explanation.

It's because they don't want to pay out, and prefer to keep your money cozy in their own accounts. Obviously.

Wasn't that what Deej said? :)

They missed the deadline. Time to do your community a favor....

This thread reminds me of a recent one by that hottie K R I S T E N. She came on here threatening to expose someone if she didn't get paid. She got hers, never revealed who the offending party was (a CC processer is all she would say) and let the whole thing drop even tho other Webmasters could be getting screwed.

Remember? Fun times. :D

why exactly would you bring my name up, attention?

This AVN - New Reports Detail Data Exposed in AdultFriendFInder Hack made me think about this thread.

This particular part:
Gawker.com reprinted several online message board postings from a hacker using the handle ROR[RG] who claims responsibility for the breach, including "i am in thailand," "they owe my guy money," "had it coming clause" and "pay up or be fucked."

Lets ban the fucker for saying he was going to name the program and then not following through.

Lets re-read the emails, he said he might migrate one of his camsites to them so it's a camsponsor, how many of those are there with $1000 minimums...
