Yesterday that �s what I wrote when I voted for a set ot 2 flashcards to stay:

 

"It SHOULD NOT be removed. Lets be rational, please...: this set of flashcards was uploaded almost a year ago, when the rule of uploading at least 4 cards together did not exist. So why report it in the first place? It seems most unfair to me. If it were a case of a stolen worksheet, a ws 100 percent in another language, a non-ESL resource, the date wouldnt really matter because those particularities have always been considered against the rules. But NOT this rule of at least 4 flahscards in the same upload. So please, let �s not report old flashcards just because they do not meet the new rules. mena"

 

Although at the beginning, when the new rule appeared, I myself voted for the removal of some flashcards, I have come to change my mind after seeing that people were going after so many old cards, which made me wonder why and think twice of whether they should be removed or not.

As more and more old flashcards appeared on the reported contributions section, first I began to abstain from voting, though I wasn �t sure why. It just didn �t seem right somehow, so much so that I brought this issue up to the forum. Then I made myself think about it, and I am glad I did because I found out I was wrong due to the �date� factor. There wasn �t such a rule a year ago, so it is not fair to penalize people for something that did not exist at the time.
