Feedback comments on answers are always appreciated.

Protip:flag whatever post offends you instead of serial voting all of my posts. I know you want to "help the community", but you're just wasting your time, and a ban lasts longer.

I often use the term Knee-pad.

A Knee-pad refers to any secret agreement between a master and a beneficiary for the personal gain of the beneficiary in exchange for a master's absolute control over the beneficiary for any undisclosed amount of time.
