    Sorry to hear that..

    Regarding the script pack. Did you promise the users stuff that they didnt get if they completed a survey? I think thats the most common thing to get banned.. (Which clearly is against their TOS)

    What script was in the pack?

    Recently i had seen many forums where people are recently complaining for banning of the account or termination with huge balances.. But this is because so much blackhat people are into cpalead now then to improve quality cpalead might taking action.

    Are you sure you didnt do anything even slightly blackhat ? They have come down hard recently and penalized even those they had a slight suspicion of.

    Personally my earnings plummeted with them so I escaped before all of this. Try another network like Leadbolt who have treated me very well and my earnings have really gone up since joining them.

    Actually our traffic has climbed a lot since we increased our effort to remove the spammers, botters, and fake content publishers. Check us out on Alexa.com or compete.com. This move is really making 95% of our publishers extremely happy. Especially with the payout increases they will be seeing soon.

    If you were banned for fake content and you would like to change your ways and only monetize real content, feel free to reapply. Use your skills for good, rather than bad.

    I never used any fake content. It doesn't matter though. I wouldn't reapply if you paid me!

    No one will ever trust your program now. It's too unstable. People need reliable programs that pay - not programs with greedy, untrustworthy owners with bad attitudes.

    Excuse me!
    I never gave any fake content and always provided what I promised.

    I still have not recieved a single reply from anyone after 3 days.

    All emails were polite and fully explained.

    You pay people to get the gullable to install malware laden games on their computers ... get off your White Hat high horse :D

    And you really did kill a lot of legit affiliates with your big fat ban hammer without paying them or explaining why you were doing this. Justify it all you want to.

    We're not a Pay-Per-Install Network. What you just said doesn't even apply to us.

    All I wanted was to fix whatever was wrong politely and professionally.
    I have been shown nothing but rudeness.

    I have been talking with CPALead over the last few days trying to get some answers and they explained their side of the story to me and I can see their point. As it turns out they have pressure on them from a number of directions to clean house. They are enforcing their TOS assertively because they need to. I really don't think that they are thieves. I'm just chalking this all up as a lesson learned.

    Yeah, I agree that enforcing their TOS and keeping their advertisers happy is a priority.

    If they canned a bunch of affiliates and paid them out, then they're not thieves. If they canned a bunch of affiliates and returned every penny to the advertisers, then they're still not thieves. However, if they canned a butch of affs without paying them or refunding advertisers, then they are thieves :)
