Excerpts:

• Most if not all disgruntled users fall victim to their emotions, and as a result, they break the website’s rules regarding professional behavior, they neglect to respond in a timely manner, they fail to provide important facts surrounding a complaint, or they simply lie to cover a misinterpretation or some failure to supply a requirement. (page 46)
• Search your local directory for trade associations related to your industry and then call one to learn how to access relevant policies. Study them and follow the rules. (page 53)
• All of the website’s rules and procedures are followed to a “T” and we’ve honestly never encountered any other online organization or work environment that demands the same professional behavior and work quality. (page 74)
• If you’re one of the same, then outsourcing may not be the best move especially if you’re afraid of conflict, ethics, rules, or doing anything outside of mainstream employment. (page 103)
• We strongly encourage you to give it a thorough look-through before creating an account — especially if you work for a company and if you’re not sure whether RentACoder’s rules jive with your company’s rules. (page 125)
• When a company re-employs its workers through RentACoder, it still maintains productivity, but it dumps all the IRS tax rules, labor laws, and issues described above. (page 135)
• Because these types of requests are difficult to escrow and arbitrate, they’re somewhat a separate entity of RentACoder and therefore don’t operate by the same rules. (page 175)
• After that, we explain RentACoder’s arbitration rules and we give you some critical tips to stay out of trouble. (page 326)
• That’s one of the more amicable arbitrations. Some of them can get downright complicated and argumentative, making mediation/arbitration rules an absolute necessity. (page 333)
• One of the biggest differences between offline outsourcing and RentACoder is that offline, you can write your own rules of operation. At RentACoder, you’re bound by the site’s terms and conditions. (page 363)
