Star Partner has a 'Warning' status

[Guard Dog]

For the following reasons, Star Partner has been given a warning status at AGD:

1. Implementing retroactive terms

2. Not responding to affiliate complaints

4. Longtime stats issues with no fix

I'm amazed they are GPWA sponsored AND admitted to cross marketing. The reasons given were based onthe fact they they have their loyalty program branded, which somehow gives them license to cross market without affiliate tags. Hmm.. really? Their program managers icon is cute though.

This is the right thing and the only thing that can be done at this point with such a shady ran affiliate program.

No longer rogue?

As far as I knew they still are?

As far as I knew they still are?

They are still listed in the "Certified Programs" section.
If rogue - why haven't they been moved to the Rogue section?

This is confusing for affiliates visiting the forum.

I'm glad this thread was bumped though - because I somehow missed it before.
The min player rule is absurd for a small affy like me - if that rule is still in place after LAC I will be dumping this group.

That thread explains EXACTLY why I very rarely post, or even visit the GPWA forum.
When I first joined I thought it was great, but then I realised they are quite happy to "sell-out" to rogue and virtually criminal organisations to make an easy buck, which makes me sick.
That's why AGD is my affiliate forum of choice - you're not perfect, but you do show a lot more integrity than any others I've been to.

Totally agree on that

Hey guys,

I was going to deal with this more on Monday, but I did remove SP from the rogue section for specific reasons..

They have resolved problems mentioned over at GPWA. They resolved the terms issue quite some time ago. And they appear to be communicating once again.

They are still marked with a 'Warning' symbol, though, because of past issues - lest we forget.

Sorry for not making that clear, I have been researching what has gone on with them for a couple weeks now to be sure this is the correct decision. I feel it is, but will discuss that a little more with the certification team Monday.

Any update on this?

If not, how about changing the thread title to add a ? on the end:
Star Partner Rogued?

Star Partner has been changed a to 'Warning" status since they have listened to affiliates concerns and made changes towards the better BUT you should still proceed with caution and make your own judgements if you want to promote their brands given the past with how they have ran their affiliate program.
