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!

This will be a good resource, will save time finding out how to contact different sites...Hopefully not many people will be forced to use it.

I thnk everyone feels that way. I will keep my fingers crossed. I never considered my work good enough to take, but apparently, that was not the case.
