Is it cool to...

[goofball]

ask if people have had dealings with a particular party affiliate on here to ensure he/she's honorable?

[smoore]

I did, no one flamed me.

Its ok to ask if an affilate is honorable. However, mentioning PP in the same post risks their affiliateship.

Your best bet to find out if a particular affiliate is honourable is to check out a reputable rakeback directory. These can found using the sticky at the top or the banners on the right hand side.
