However this reporting should not be just to be nasty. You must be sure of the facts and if possible quote the source.

 

I worry now that we have fewer moderators as it is a big job and they cannot be expected to know everything. So get off their backs , people, they do a great job.

 

Unfortunately now that the site has become so popular we will get the ratbags...I �m not sure there is a lot we can do to stop it.

I guess we just have to trust each other.

Yes, I know I �m naive and living in "cloud cuckoo land."

But I still believe in people.

Cheers Joy

 

Keep smiling although I know it is very troubling.

I will never ever understand the other kind!!!!! Never ever!!!! Thank you for drawing our attention to that and for sharing your anger, frustration and disappointment with us. Not so long ago, I realised that one of the members here was a colleague who worked with me, and he had uploaded here some of the work I had sent him via e-mail in complete trust, without even thinking he might use it that way. His excuse was (get this) � Well, you sent me so much stuff I had no idea that particular work was yours! �. I replied: �Who cares whose work it was - it wasn �t YOURS!!! � Anyway, I solved the problem and he is no longer a member here, but it �s so disappointing when someone does that and thinks nothing of it - it �s just a means to an end for him, whereas for me - it was hours of work and lots of gathered experience, and, above all, the trust with which I shared it with him and all of you here.

But I will keep on trusting and sharing - it �s in my nature. Or, as John Malkovich would put it, �It �s beyond my control �. Frankly, I sleep better that way...

There will always be thieves, but there will always be knights, too... Here and elsewhere. May the force always be with the knights

 

Like David mentioned, when I see members writing in poor grammar (read: very incorrect English) and producing perfectly fine wss, what are we supposed to think?! That those people created those wss?! Too much for my thick head.

 

I believe I know who Regina is talking about and I do agree with her. But I guess that in time, they will see that this site has many �guardians �, or knights like Anita mentioned, and they �ll get to the conclusion that sooner or later, they �ll get caught.

 

Hope we can become a better and better website/community, and for that to happen, we need less members with bad intentions, and for that to happen, we need to have more and more members willing to help improving the site and also doing the �dirty work �, unfortunately.

 

At least, that �s what I think.

 

best wishes to all those "ESLprintables knights" we mentioned!

 

Hugs, Bruna.
