CODE OF ETHICS

1. Maintain a professional attitude in all comments, and communications with the highest standard of integrity.

2. Stick to facts - operate on the basis of fact, not rumor.

3. Verify with the artist that their work is stolen, and do not under any circumstances assume that it is.  

4. Refrain from bashing, foul/obscene language, yelling or calling someone a thief. This will absolutely not be tolerated under any circumstances...EVER!

5. If you are a volunteer, stay dispassionate and neutral in all your communications.

6. Refer all policy issues to the RATF administration.

7. Refer all disputes involving theft accusations, to the Administration staff to handle.

8. Remember that your actions/communications reflect on ALL RATF staff.

9. Refer disagreements about copyright issues to the Administration staff to handle.

10. Be aware that we will not tolerate “unorthodox” or illegal manners of handling theft.

We are working as hard and as fast as possible to deal with all the information coming in.

We are swamped and apologize - respond times to comments/questions may be slow.

We are not perfect – note us if there is an oversight…it is not intentional.

Comments left on the RATF site by others - are THEIR opinions – not necessarily ours.

We need volunteers who will uphold the volunteer code of ethics.

We WILL NOT tolerate unprofessional conduct or illegal or unorthodox methods… period.

This is not a vigilante task force.

We simply want to help people with their art theft and copyright issues.

We are volunteers and do not deserve abuse, we are merely assisting you to resolve your rip issues!

Great business-like manners list. (shouldn't this be everyone's personal code of ethics anyhow?) Treat everyone as you would like to be treated in the same situation. You are doing a bang up job Deb. :hug: Hang in there hun.
It sucks having to be "the one" around my house. I work on the weekends but it seems like I have more time for myself when I am at work. *sighs* I have got to get my buns in college and get a better job so I can get the heck out of this situation.
*looks up at the ranting I was doing* oops :blushes: Done now.

Yes, college would be a great alternative. I started from nothing....I managed to graduate from college with 3 kids in diapers and no husband after the divorce. It is difficult to go back to school, but you are very smart...should not pose a problem for you with all the resources out there nowadays. What are you thinking of taking?

Well I am majoring in sonography as of right now (officially). I love any kind of science. It is so hard to decide... I am thinking of switching to something more short term rather than long term since I really just need to get a better job and get the heck outta my mom's hair. I am really rather great at massage so maybe reflexology or massage specialist for now.

I hear what you are saying. I leave you with this piece of motherly advice....Sometimes, it is better to stick it out no matter how difficult it is because in the end you will be seeling yourself short from the career you want to settle for something less because of the circu,stances at the time. In other words....the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Just my thoughts...you do not have to listen. Been in this position a couple of times myself throughout my life, and I know how it feels is all. Note me, and I will be happy to speak with you. :hug:ss Hang in there.
