"Spooks" Talk Making It Onto Forums
I use the term "spooks" as a word to describe people that work for Clickbank or associated with them in someway to come onto forums and spread their pro-Clickbank propaganda. I suppose there is some sort of term to describe this, when the Nazis did it.

I think this is a highly probable thing, since other people in the thread think it is highly unlikely. I don't know about them, but it seems like it is in Clickbank's best interest to do it. It's not like people wake up one day and say to themselves, "I'm going to sign up at Clickbank and make money". No, they go to forums and they hear what people are saying. There has been a lot of negative talk lately, so I believe the spooks to be full out and ready to fill threads with crap.
Patchkaa - I've always believed this guy to be a spook. The main reason is that in one of the complaint threads he literally went out in a post saying "Everything is working at Clickbank. All is fine" in some desperate attempt to reassure everyone. The guy is lurking on the forum all the time and all his messages are about the glorious Clickbank that never has problems.
The sad part is that he tells people their sales are going down due to them not working hard enough. That's what he told me, even though this guy just lurks the forums all day long.
Beware of the spooks. They're the ones spreading the misinformation.
