Perhaps the matching string needs to include the actual site as part of the match.

Edit: My testing shows that anything with the word userid followed by an equals sign gets changed to partner_id=59826076&userid, followed by an equal sign. This seems like overkill.

Example: partner_id=59826076&userid=
Yeah, all I types was userid-equals. You can test it yourself, it gets replaced just by previewing a post.
