Moderators: assistants or enforcers?
|
I have been a members of this wonderful site for a few months now and downloaded (and uploaded) some very nice stuff.
Although I do agree that there need to be some rules, I can �t help but wonder if (some) moderators and members reporting and removing worksheets see themselves as cyberpolice and spend most of their free time checking the site for possible violations ("Make my day...").
Can �t we just all take a step back and take things with a grain of salt? Have we lost our sense of pespective? The Internet is riddled with illegal publications/music/video etc. It �s not as if a slightly adapted ws is going to bring financial ruin to anyone. Blatant copies should be removed of course.
By the way, this if how you spell censor/censure (different meaning) and thieves.

I thought censure was a verb as well...
Censure is a procedure for publicly reprimanding a public official for inappropriate behavior. <wiki>
I thought this would make it a verb - no?
