Re: Perhaps why you should care about bots and cheats
D$D,
This seems downright silly. I'm all for eradicating bots, but doing something that is going to severely inconvenience the affiliates' best customers is not good for business and will never be implemented.
This would be like putting the burden of policing credit card fraud on store owners. Yeah, the store owners are liable in certain chargeback situations (fraud, unhappy customers, etc.,) but it isn't their job to police the situation. This would be like asking them to submit a list each month of "suspicious individuals" and have their credit cards frozen until an investigation takes place. Just seems pretty silly when you think about it.
I understand where you are coming from, but you need to take a step back and think about all of the implications your plan would cause.
