[WARNING] Maxbounty - Dont send them black traffic

This affiliate was not "advertising on Instagram". He was comment spamming Instagram photos. This violates both Instagram's terms and conditions:
11. You must not create or submit unwanted email or comments to any Instagram members ("Spam").
as well as MaxBounty's:
4.7. Affiliate must not display any Ad in third party newsgroups, social networks, message boards, blogs, link farms, counters, chatrooms or guestbooks without the consent of such third party entity.
He was caught, he was terminated. Really not much else to report.

If you dispised that traffic soo much you would have banned him on the first comment, instead you waited for him to earn you $6 before you banned him. Very low if you ask me, you could be playing with peoples lives if they have bills to pay, atleast tell them at the start so they can find another away of making money instead of wasting a month.
The typical douche. Sad guy.
O really ? then why did you send him 2 emails saying to push more traffic ? have you enjoyed milk him?
and regarding your comment :
11.You must not create or submit unwanted email or comments to any instagram members("spam").
This is a black hat forum not digitalpoint shit !!!

Maxbounty cpa review: They are crooks. this has been proven here many times. Do a search of the posts here over the past few years. Maxbounty is still the only cpa company I've been terminated from, and still no idea why. They're crooks and trying to get more traffic out of the guy when you are going to ban him anyways...or check traffic before issuing payment to not have to pay is criminal far as I'm concerned. Someone should put up a review site about maxbounty and use these forum posts as content as they are real experiences. Wouldn't be too hard to push it to the top of the serps.

This is a major misconception on your part, and unfortunately on the part of most people who participate in this forum.
Once we catch someone that needs to be terminated, we do not encourage them to increase their traffic simply so they can pad their numbers leaving us with more to "keep" when they are actually terminated. Doing so would be stupid and risky as the actions for which we terminate affiliates are actions that get us in trouble with advertisers (through lost campaigns and unpaid bills) and third party litigation.
Let me touch on two other things related to this thread. First, affiliate managers are not part of the compliance team. Their job is not to second guess affiliates, look for problems or terminate affiliates. Their job is to work with the affiliate, with the information they're given by the affiliate, to help them make more money. So it's not surprising to get "good job" e-mails from affiliate managers if you are doing any sort of volume, even if you are breaking the rules. Why? The affiliate managers don't know you are breaking the rules.
Second, there are tons of threads on this forum about masking/blanking/hiding your real sources of traffic when you are breaking the rules. Does it really surprise anyone that masking, etc. works? So when a network sees traffic coming from siteABC.com and the affiliate says "yeah, I'm buying seach traffic", why should we dispute that? 99% of affiliates are truthful about their traffic, so we have no reason to think that a cheater is really lying about their traffic and comment spamming.
But masking, etc. is not fool-proof. Eventually, a referring URL leaks, or the third-party social network complains to us, or a social network user complains to us, etc. When we find someone breaking the rules, we act swiftly and decisively, regardless of how many times the affiliate manager previously communicated with the affiliate.
Think that's unfair? For every affiliate who is terminated with $X in their account that's been left unpaid, there's an affiliate who's been paid $X for their leads even thought we didn't (because of the fraud).
Still think it's unfair? That's just too bad. If you don't want to run the risk of having your account terminated, stop breaking the rules and stop sending fraudulent traffic. Simple as that.
If you aren't breaking any rules, you have nothing to fear, and our 8+ years history as a successful network is a testament to that.

MaxSteve you are failing so hard!
You say him to bring more traffic, he do that, make you some awesome cash and you just Steal his money
He made money for you,for advertisers and anything else and in the end he lose all money , all hard work, and time which is priceless.
Pay him all his money what he earned. You said him to send traffic.
Also good networks first give warning or ask to stop to do what they do not to BAN with all money.
Should i post proofs that you shave like crazy or should i keep all these files/images and proofs ?
