[[Offerit]] allows you to change [[Ct#Advertiser|advertiser]] statuses from Active to either "Disabled" or "Banned". This is useful for preventing [[Ct#Advertiser|advertisers]] from accessing your [[Offerit]] system.

__TOC__
== Advertiser Statuses ==

A "Banned" [[Ct#Advertiser|advertiser]] will not be able to login to your [[Offerit]] system, and all of their traffic will be redirected to the ''/spam.html'' page on your [[Link Domain|linkdomain]]. Once an advertiser is banned, they are also automatically removed from the [[Offerit Payments Admin|Payments Admin]] to prevent them from receiving payments.

A disabled advertiser, on the other hand, will also be restricted from logging in and removed from the [[Offerit Payments Admin|Payments Admin]], but their traffic will still be tracked by [[Offerit]].

== Changing an Advertiser's Status ==

To change an [[Ct#Advertiser|advertiser's]] status in [[Offerit]], go to the [[Offerit Advertisers Admin|advertisers admin]], locate the advertiser you want to affect, and click the corresponding "Change Advertiser Status" action icon.

The next page will provide a breakdown of that Advertiser's basic information, including Full Name, Address, Minimum Payment, URL, Company, E-Mail, Payment Method, and Current Status. This page also provides information regarding how long the [[Ct#Advertiser|advertiser]] has been registered under your [[Offerit]].

Below the available list of information, you will find three fields that can be configured to affect your advertiser's status. These fields are:

* '''Status''' - Choose between Active, Disabled, and Banned.
* '''Public Reason''' - Displays the text in this field to the advertiser as a reason for their status change.
* '''Internal Reason''' - Displays the text in this fields to admins only as a reason for an advertiser's status change.
