So imagine, hypothetical situation "someday you deleted me, just because i joined and am not yet active, but then someday i go to finally add links to your sites and realized that my acct is deleted, how interested do you think i'd feel to promote your site anymore? 0% interest"

So that is why, "weeding out affiliates" to me is a bad idea just my opinion though

Hi Scott,
i will never delete affililiates, weeding out affs make no sense, but you affilliates have to understand us sponsors too!

For example....i spent many many time a week for my website, new shootings, and so on.

I payout 60% in the past and was hopeing this will motivate my affiliates, i update my fhgs twice a month, i write each affiliate an email with the new fhgs ask them if they need anything other like a review pass or so, but 70% of them never answer or never post a gallery or a link.

This is why i set my affiiliate payout back to 50% except my existing affiliates....because they did no work for 50% and not more for 60%

This is very frustrating to me, i ask me often what i did wrong....

So i can understand that some others sponsors are frustrated too and think about weeding out some affiliates.
