Ah, sorry for the in-activeness.. I'm back though. Well, helpers are back.. Information is below. I've been sick, and had school.. but yep.

Welcome, Various fed up artists, victims, and survivors.

This group has been constructed to combat something which plagues our beloved DeviantART, i will explain more and i swear this will be worthwhile to read.

Here, we are constructing a group for people who are victims of art theft, and people who want to help combat art theft.

We can't do too much, we aren't lawyers. But we'll give it a shot.

Our aim here is to help combat the art theft problems, one at a time. Using a buddy system, assigning a helper to a victim.

Basically, if you have an art theft problem, you will be paired with someone who wants to help out. I'll explain more in the details below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joining up as a Helper:

Then, watch this account. And wait for a reply, once you have received a reply. you will be added to a list of willing helpers, and if the time calls for it; you will be paired with someone who needs help. As a helper, you are expected to hand all situations professionally and will be given some help as to what your first steps are.
