Al, your posts have actually been very helpful and easy to understand by anyone not looking for conspiracies or an angle to shoot.

The sad fact is that there are some people who, damn the torpedoes, by hook or by crook, are determined to squeeze rakeback from where it doesn't exist: "yes, it's forbidden, wink wink, how do I get some?"

So, you could put up a giant sticky at the top of the forum stating, "Party rakeback is contractually forbidden, period" and it wouldn't stem the tide of people demanding it and then believing anything they're told ("we have a special deal, direct with Party, honest") if it means money in their pocket, or affiliates shooting an angle to get money for them.
