FOURTH time you run out of points and ask for help on the forum, you can contribute can�t you? so why don �t you? Keep contributing and you will have more than enough to download what you want.
By the way, it�s against the rules to advertise yourself on the forum...

I �m with Yulia, you �ve been begging for help instead of uploading for more than 6 months, why not contributing to the website with your work, since you need others �?!
I �m thinking you �ve got more points that you begged for with your four threads than you actually worked to get it. Sorry to sound rude, but when I see people doing this in the real world it makes me disappointed, in here coming from a �teacher �, it makes me stunned.
Hope you stop doing this.

I agree that begging is not the right thing to do, but have a little courtesy. I don �t believe is post like "if you combined the time... blabla... you �d make a perfect worksheet". Because it is not neccesarly true. I know how hard it is to make a worksheet - especially not being great with word and taking 90% of the time editing. So please try and understand others, when they urgently need a point.
I also noticed how colorful and "artsy" worksheets get the most point even if it takes my students 2 minutes to fill them out and they learn nothing - but when you try to do something harder and don �t add colors, templates to it it �s never noticed. I checked that theory out by changing the layouts of the same worksheet...
Don �t get me wrong I appreciate your help and all the time you spend making your worksheets, and most of them are AMAZING and helpful. But please try to understand people that can �t sometimes can �t think of anything and need help. We are all here to support each other, so show some heart and understanding. I know it �s easy to get frustrated sometimes - especially when people boldly steal your worksheets and put them as theirs but respect everyone who looks up to you and who appreciates your work. We are all in this together!

Dear lbhspatriot
Your insights about the appreciation of wss in this site is correct. I used to think about this that way, too. I also reuploaded a ws plain B&W to colorful and got from the intial 15 points, 260+ so far, I think. But what I got to understand is that from the many contributions we have on a daily basis, the ones that are eye-catchy and "seem" more interesting, stand out. It �s not a policy or anything, it �s nature. Normally people have very little time to check the recent contributions and download only the ones that seem to be good, but lack in a thorough analysis of everything available.
And this user in question has been begging for points for months, that �s why so many members got fed up with his attitude.
So, that �s why you could see the lack of courtesy in our speech.
Hope you understand.

I doubt that he or she ever reads this post, as s/he only appears here to open the begging thread. Still i think it �s not fair and moreover - against the rules. That member has been using the 30 free downloads for many months having uploaded only 2 wss. Is this what we are here for? Victor said something, that moderators can report users who abuse the forum. If i was one, i would have reported this user, sorry.
There are thousands of people here who share what they do themselves, no matter if it �s in color or simply exercises without much of a layout. But they get their points for their hard work and don �t just come to use the ready free stuff putting in next to nothing.
Sorry again if i sound rude.
