I wonder who mena ´s invitation was meant for - just me ( because she addresed me at the beginning of her post *gg*) or all of us?
Well, I ´ll be generous and take you ALL along.

We ´ll have a WONDERFUL time, no doubt about it!!

I agree with Victor.
We all had to go through the first few stages: creating own ws, uploading, waiting for points. Every good teacher has already got some worksheets, so it shouldn ´t be problem to upload them.
As I was reading the very rude message today, I can ´t believe such person could be a teacher. That ´s must be some kind of joke... And why we should make it easier to people like this one (or the one next week)? Most of the people here is working hard to get their points and I don ´t believe that these people would contribute. It seems to me they want to just take but not to give. And yes, I also believe they would go through the whole process of registration just to get their 3 welcome points.

I hadn ´t seen victor ´s perspective and he ´s absolutely right. But so is Dorothea! Please let ´s find together a way to make registered members active members. Otherwise what ´s the point of having so many members? There must be something that we can do. As I said, this would be quite an improvement for the site.
You ´re all welcome Dorothea! Remember the ESLprintables congress in the Azores I offered to organize? |

What about giving a credit of 5 (or more) points when uploading the first WS.
Just an idea.
But all this does not excuse the rudeness and impoliteness. I suggest that new comers who right start this way should have there account cancelled.

I think taking the time to register and then having to upload some work is not all that much trouble, I think it ´s only trouble to people who have a class the next day which they haven ´t prepared for and in the last minute they start searching online for a quick freebie. And frankly speaking they would be crap teachers one way or another, further more, they would hardly make model members for the site.
I will say though I myself considered having to download the toolbar before I could actually complete the registration process something of a liberty, I had no desire for yet another tool bar, having said that, it hardly made major problems in my life. I think that kind of person would simply download 5 points worth and then upload the very same thing they had just downloaded in order to get more. Bigger doesn ´t mean better, and friendship is wasted on the unfriendly.

Yes, Goodnesses, that sounds great! Give 5 points to a new member when they upload their first worksheet. But it can be done when no one downloads their work within 2 days or so.
What do you say?

I do not like the idea.
A real teacher can survive with no extra help.
We are supposed to be able to prepare our own material and classes.
Why, then, the urgency to download material?
Every time I read somebody needs something "urgently", I wonder if that person IS a teacher.
I think everything is fine as it is.

If you read Scotbuzz ´ ideas about dummy accounts, I think we should be careful about giving away free points, no matter if it ´s 3 or 5! Victor ´s point is very clear.
Furthermore: Everyone who asks for help on this forum can be sure to obtain it.
And personally, I strongly feel that it ´s a great honour to be a part of this community.This is something which is worth working for.
