Are you kidding me??!!!

Are you kidding me??!!!
 

It is the first time that I feel I have to refuse the decision that is made for my worksheets. I uploaded a set with 3 parts, about conjunctions. At first, the ones who checked and downloaded my ws complained about the black background, they were right because the ws would spend too much toner. I answered them back that I thought it would be more attracting and they could edit it.

Today, when I logged in, I saw the messages telling me that my worksheets were removed by moderators, because they were scanned!!! I want to tell the moderators that black baCkground does NOT necessarily make a ws scanned! I spent a great deal of time preparing the ws and did something to make the ws more attracting, but it was removed without any question. Now I am going to edit it myself and upload again. I am looking forward to see the next reason for removing the ws.

I saw your contribution and found it very interesting and the style was different from the ones we normally see here, but when I found it  reported as scanned I gave it up. You know, I don �t want to encourage people download scanned pages here. But after your explanation I feel that I should have gone through it more carefully before deciding not to download. But I"ll do it when you upload next time.

I feel sad as well but you have to agree with me that most of people are trying to keep the site free of unfair members � works and this kind of "surgery"  is impossible without pain. I think all of us have a portion of frustration or sadness until we get the site clean.

Hmmm maybe my poem is as heartfelt foe you exiliser - I am sorry to hear your work was deleted like that - people really should ensure their facts before reporting.

My worksheet is ready now with a different style, not with a black background. I will upload it again later because I reached the limit today.

What I feel resented is that I was not even asked anything about my own worksheet by those people called �moderators �. I appreciate their works and their care for the site, but how could they know whether my ws was scanned or not better than me???

Im sorry that I am late to I answer you back.
Your idea is great but, uploading videos may bring some problems.
I just had one of my lessons recorded, it is really useful to watch yourself, and to watch other teachers in their classroom.
