"as long as the L1 does not affect the total understanding of the worksheet it should not be removed"

Isn �t he the owner of this site???

@ Liz... thanks for the overview of the abuse page. I wouldn �t know anymore, but I �m sure glad to know about that! Hope the mood stays!

I remember Victor �s statement about not removing the wss with L1 , but it was before the new rules were set up. Now they clearly say about contributions being 100% in English, so I somehow don �t understand what is this about.

Mena is absolutely right - people should read the rules before uploading. If they don �t, they shouldn �t be surprised if their contribution is reported.

And to avoid any misunderstanding or accusals: If there is couple of words in Spanish (or other language) a part of an English song, I �d consider it being all right.

Quote Julieta:"Zora has provided the key words "common sense"... I also feel a bit afraid sometimes, just like Aimee"

Me too!


Too many rules kill the rule!

I don �t like the idea of "clearing" this site! History has given us so many examples of people who wanted to " clear "the planet of all  the pretended "nuisance" !Had these people not been stopped , half of us would not be here today arguing about petty things!

maybe we should remember! And remember the word:"TOLERANCE"

Looks like some members don �t appreciate Victor �s hard work and spending his precious time by creating the new rules. Sadly, the same people always find something criticize and to complain about. I really don �t understand this attitude.Ermm

@ Mariethe. You don �t like the idea of clearing? So you think reporting and moderating is useless? SO in couple of weeks we �ll drown in copies, corrupted files and non-esl resources. But let �s then be happy we �ve got the toleranceThumbs Up

Let �s not be sarcastic please
 
I appreciate Mariethe �s opinion just like yours Mj Misa & Yulia, she has the right to express herself.
 
I like the word "tolerance", I like a site full of valuable worksheets without copies and non ESL resources but I am against reporting every single wss that contains one sentces in L1 even though it has lots of points and is very useful. That �s it, if you feel like you want to continue reporting and I feel like I want to vote against the removal, that is ok, let �s continue...
 
I just wish Victor could answer my question and if he says that one line in L1 is enough reason for the removal then I will vote for the removal.
 
But as I already told you, that is not what he said some months ago.

This is a very poor and dishonest interpretation of what I said!!
Looks like some members don �t appreciate Victor �s hard work and spending his precious time by creating the new rules

I DO appreciate the work our administrator has put into this site and I am allowed to give my opinion when some of the members/ moderators go beyond common sense and overdo it !

@yulia;  Of course I want an honest participation on this site!! What I do not want is too much rigidity and stiffness of the mind! That �s what I call tolerance and that �s what I implement and defend in everyday life!

Julieta, i understand that some wss are really useful. What i don �t understand is
1. Why people don �t read the rules. Isn �t it a sign of disrespect towards the community they want to belong?
2. What �s the problem in reporting and deleting the ws, if the user can change and upload it again?
