as a representative of a program I would like to address the original topic of this thread.
Deleting affiliate accounts.
I have deleted affiliate accounts at two different programs and there really is only one truly legitimate reason for taking this action in my humble opinion;

Violations of the TOS, and to delete with extreme prejudice if it puts our company at risk with any of our third party billers.

I will and have been known to send a 24 hour noticed to an affiliate to change whatever violation is present on their pages (for instance using words that we have deemed inappropriate on a link to our sites) and if it isn't changed the account is gone. Spammers.... immediate termination. An e mail to a bulk e mailer has no more impact then a gonzo fart in a hurricane.

I could see a program choosing to terminate the account of someone who wasn't sending many hits or any sales, but it is contrary to my personal philosophy about affiliates. i will take someone with a trickle of hits and one sale a month.... better yet, I'll gladly take a thousand of them and give them just as much attention and respect as a big time TGP or Link Lister.

I did it at SexyCityCash and I continue to do it at Royal Cash.
