if you make it so clients cant edit your affiliate id, the option to edit is in the client area and it actually lets you edit the value.

The client's affiliate ID is always prepopulated with the reseller or admin's affiliate ID.  If you tell CC to always use the admin/reseller's affiliate ID, it will, and it will ignore anything in the client's affiliate ID field.

This is a cosmetic issue which I've noted, though -- the client's affiliate field should probably be hidden if it's not going to be used.

i tested it and was able to edit the affiliate id from the client area. it definatly did what i reported.
