How do you choose affiliates?

I only chose my affiliates based on one common factor: the type of face claims/play-bys we used. Because I used solely animanga/illustrated FCs, I'd only affiiliate those who did the same.

If I found out one of my affiliates had bad staff members (i.e. they bully their reps), I'd remove them as I felt responsible for inadvertently exposing my friends and members to them.
