All,
I posted, I assume, be the first COC Compliance issue via the ask a question interface (as per instructions) about a major example of ebates non compliance. Here is what happened with the issue:

Can you show us the goods? What did you bust 'em doing that was not in compliance with the COC? Inquiring minds want to know!

Sheesh, I would have at least expected that they put forth the effort to come up with some bs spin answer about how they are working with ebates, they have the 60 days to come into compliance, yada, yada, yada.
Then networks want us to trust them that they are going to enforce this CoC (or addendum in LS case), but when this is the type of response received from them, then how (in any rational, realistic thought processes) can they expect to receive any trust????

Haiko,
Your problem has not been "solved" - it appears that your incident was automatically marked as closed because you did not repsond within 72 hours since the original post. I'll look into it. Todd Crawford Commission Junction |

The response from CJ was that compliance was looking into it. These types of inquries take more than 72 hours to investigate. His "trouble ticket" was closed and closed tickets are marked as "solved".
Sorry for the confusion. Todd Crawford Commission Junction |

if you ever had any doubts that the ParasiteWare problem was solved, this written statement by CJ must have removed them all: once and for good: solved! is this understood? good! . |

 In the past when I've filed a support ticket, once I received an answer to my question (not just a comment like we are looking into it), it was changed to a status of "solved" and then the 72 hour timeframe kicked in and if CJ didn't here back from me otherwise that it was indeed solved, the ticket would be closed. That does not appear to be the case here! What in the world was there for Haiko to respond to from CJ's response? The 72 hour thing should not have even been triggered yet.

The "solved" is not a consequence of a unique automatic procedure, because I have a ticket waiting with status = "Researching"

Good detective work, Haiko!
What do we really expect CJ to do, given past experience? I mean, they've allowed a questionable practice to continue unabated for some time now. If anything, since this falls in the 60 day compliance period, CJ will probably just send a note to Ebates that says: quote: [/END SARCASM] CJ is not publisher friendly any longer. With the recent changes in the product linking, it's just harder to build pages that sell.

You are all blowing this out of proportion. We are investigating Haiko's concerns, regardless of the status of his inquiry.

Who do I complain too. Problem ticket would read: with increased traffic to CJ merchants this year verses last year my commissions are 1584.18 LESS. Please investigate who got my cut of the pre-sell activity.

Time for another award to be handed out, I think. Maybe CJ has a 'Humanitarian' award they could pass on to eBates. I am sure that, if they could, they would award Haiko with a 'PITA' award, for calling 'em on their CoC right away, LOL.

lol, that's what I was referring to, indirectly... at the rate this is going, they're gonna have to give eBates at least one award a week to counter all the bad publicity!!!

quote: Maybe, but when I wrote about the datafeeds my (emailed) responses said: "We will assume your issue has been resolved if we do not hear from you within 72 hours." That gives the impression that the "72 hours" started to tick down from the time of CJ's response. Maybe Haiko's CS person didn't know about a "researching" response--or was scared to do anything but hide after catching some flames! [Edited--saw above posts about an award] Somehow I don't think giving eBates any more awards would "COUNTER" bad publicity, LOL!

Haiko,
One more thing... We treat Code of Conduct incidents the same way we treat all incidents reporting any kind of fraud or compliance issue. This normally only includes thanking the client reporting the issue, and telling them we will be (or already are) looking into it. Then the incident is resolved from the reporter's perspective while we follow up internally. For privacy reasons we do not normally respond to the reporter to tell them what we did to the party they reported. Finqally, your incident was closed as a duplicate.

Perhaps I spoke too soon.
Perhaps these "codes of conduct" are NOT voluntary??? |

I don't think enforcement is real high on the priority list right now.
It would be nice if CJ would just say that. |

What action(s) would be taken by CJ in the event that they found out a merchant was violating this code of conduct? Is there a list of all possible actions that could be taken in such cases? |
