This type of behavior makes me want to file a complaint.

The story is this dude was forcing clicks, caught by some other affiliates and Linkshare plans on giving him their top money award anyway. Normally I wouldn't care but what if I was the person who could have won that award? Is there an agency that governs online contests that I could report this to?

Maybe I need to stop playing nice and use all the "secret tactics" the super affiliates use to get ahead. This type of behavior just burns me up and apparently LS doesn't care if you do it.

You can report it to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) as it would fall under restriction of trade violations.
