Has anyone tried to Abuse Associated Content by doing this?!

we are know that the performance paymemt scheme pays us $1.50 per thousands view.

has anyone tried to inflate the views by using traffic bots or any other blackhat methods to take advantage of this great cpm rates?

if you will get banned by doing this, many people can sabotage others articles..

what do you think?

I don't think it worth a try :p

I've worked for content networks in the past, and they've all been good at identifying false pageviews (it's often tied to your IP address, but I don't know how AC does it specifically). I'd imagine if someone else did that to your articles, they'd simply discount those pageviews... the systems are usually better than having to simply ban you or something, especially if they can't prove it was you.

would not try it, especially if you're risking everything for artificial hits where there's a high chance of getting caught

In the amount of time that it takes to get all of those page views you could probably write another couple articles, too! :)
