Many people have answered that there is nothing to overstep. These people do not fully understand the dynamics of affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing an bring us great riches if we apply the principles that make it work. I will not cover all of the principles, just what apply to this question.
In order to rake the burden off of each person of earning all the money, doing all the advertising, training all the team members, etc., we learn and teach each active affiliate to teach and train their own affiliates. This puts lots of hours and advertising into the whole organization. The money you decide to spend on advertising, incentives, rewards, etc.will also be duplicated if you teach it.
You will end up putting in many hours and cash to build a strong team. As a sponsor and team leader, you will have much invested in each affiliate.
Now, enters the gung-ho co-sponsor of one of your best workers. (This is not bad for those with no money to invest as a new affiliate.) He teaches how to get by doing SFI with the least investment in time and cash. What will this route do for your affiliate's and his team's earnings calculations and their actual earnings? What will it do for you?
What if the co-sponsor lure's the affiliate into following so many of his contrary methods that your affiliate opts out and rejoins under him? You have lost your good worker and maybe his team. You lost your investment in him.
This is an example of cross-lining. SFI has rules against that.Another overstep that some co-sponsors have been guilty of is called cross-solicitation where he tries to get a CSA to join another opportunity. SFI also deals strongly with that.
It all boils down to being ethical. The sponsor is the one with the vested interest (time and money invested) in the affiliate. He should be given all rights to do the training and advising of his PSAs. In that case the co-sponsor should back off and give encouragement and praise, even if the CSA receives his help.
An inactive sponsor is another thing. It is why we have co-sponsors.The co-sponsor should make an effort to contact the sponsor before he takes over the training of the affiliate.
