Come on, we can use pictures taken from the net, but we must be sure not to use watermarked clipart or copyright ones. the last one was your case, I think you should change the first picture and re-upload it. @MariyaB Don �t make a mountain out of a molehill |

you �re right moderating is VERY time-consuming itself. there about 60 abuse reports by now. can you imagine us sending a PM to those 60 people (by now) who are breaking the rules? it �s impossible and nonsense |

In addition to all the work the moderators do, there is approximately one post a day to the forum by someone saying that their worksheet was unfairly reported, and many moderators take the time to answer them. If a worksheet is reported, but hasn �t broken any of the rules, it is restored, which is fair. If it has broken a rule, it is removed, which is also fair. So, where is the unfairness that is complained about every day?

What amazes me - and I �m talking generally now and not just about this thread - is the amount of whining that goes on with people saying how unfair everything is and how they suffer (~~~range of emotions ~~~) because their ws was removed and how they spent hours making it - and in the end we find out there are copyrighted pictures in it and/or the exercises were copied/stolen right, left and centre.
I wonder how so many hours of work can go into something that wasn �t made by the person from scratch.
I also wonder how people can complain so bitterly about lack of fairness without once looking at the rules that try to keep this site a relatively fair place.
Sorry if we sound aggressive, Mariyab, but we �re having at least two of these posts every day. In a vast majority of cases the worksheet turns out to be incompatible with the rules of this site or simple human decency.
If there wasn�t strict control here people would probably stop contributing because their ws would be copied and re-uploaded by people all the time and Victor would be in dire straits legally because of plagiarism. We all have to trust the system which is the best we can get and gets better all the time.

People, just take it easy! Take the work you prepare for your students (to practice what you have taught) and insert in one of our free templates. It won �t take hours and will be your original work.
Maybe you won �t get thousands (or even hundreds) of points, but the dozen points you get will be fairly gotten and no one will take them from you.
After some weeks or months contributing (and downloading) you�ll start creating your style and will be recognized for it.
Share what you prepare for your students and learn new tricks on the process of sharing. Don�t try to start �from the top� with someone�s work, because you certainly will be caught, sooner or later.

well... not nice. We just want to help Victor to keep the site clean. Is there anything wrong with that?
