13. Why does the asacp seem to take companies against it's own rules?
ASACP has a Code of Ethics (required) and also Best Practices (suggested) for its Sponsors and Approved Members.
We try very hard to be consistent. I depend on the Membership Coordinator who reviews and approves sites. I only review when there is a question. We are continually developing system to help in this process. Are we perfect - no!
If there is a segment of the industry such as Adult Dating Sites that want to join, we need to develop Best Practices for that segment. This is expected from a profssional association.
Since there were companies that were either non-adult, were smaller webmasters or did not fit with the Approved Member requirement, we added a
Supporter level. However, these sites are not listed on the Member page at asacp.org.
As I said,we are not perfect. If you see a member that you think does not adhere to the Code of Ethics, please send an email to Tim Henning, the Compliance Director at
[email protected]. He investigates such situations.
