Welcome to
ESL Printables,
the website where English Language teachers exchange resources:
worksheets, lesson plans, activities, etc.
Our collection is growing every day with the help of many teachers. If
you want to download you have to send your own contributions.
Yesterday one of my old contributions �at the
doctor�s word search� was removed because as one member said it�s repeated,
thing that is wrong because one is a word search and the other is a Pictionary
I followed
the vote and only one member who was used to do such exercises (word search/Pictionary)
series voted against my wss
And the other 5 or 6 members voted for my wss
to stay
But what
happened was that my wss was removed yesterday
I don�t
know how such things could happen
I thought that the vote was fair but it seems
not to be
Anyway, the same member who removed my
worksheet �at the doctor�s word search� also declared that yesterday�s
contribution �at the park Pictionary� and �word search� were the same
It also has
been removed and the administrators� said if there was nothing wrong with it it
will reappear among today�s contribution but that was not true!!
I really think that the moderators need a moderator
to supervise them
This site
become unfair!
Please revise
you rules, behaviour or many members will go away from the site
I downlaoded both of them and they are absolutly not the same!!!!!!!!!
by the way.. it happened to me ,too!! reported WS never re-appear as the rule says.. so it is really unfair to report WS just like this.. peolpe should be 100 percent sure before reporting..
there is no way you could know how many moderators voted for your ws to be removed (at least it was this way when I was a moderator). Only some moderators leave comment, but there are some who do not and they could vote for removal. We are only humans, so don �t be angry. I would recommend you to write a PM to Victor and he should sort it down if your ws was really removed unfairly. Have a nice day, Michaela
Yes, I remember your ws was reported yesterday and there were comments of moderators not to remove it, because it was not the same as the other one, the task was different. I agreed with them and voted against the removal. It is sad to know it was removed.
MJ Misa is right, I think you should PM Victor and explain the situation. I hope he will help. Your worksheets are really great and useful! Don �t be angry! Moderators are only humans!
I, too, downloaded the worksheets you are talking about and agree that they are completely different resources. I �m sorry that you �ve had to suffer this bad experience after all the fantastic worksheets you contribute to the site all the time.
I hope the problem is sorted out to your satisfaction, soon.
As I �m not a moderator I have no idea how people voted, but I too have noticed that I don �t think the reported worksheets that are voted to stay are appearing in the next day �s contributions.
Victor, could you make sure if this is happening as it should be or not, please?
And Ben, take strength from the thought that a lot of us are behind you and supporting you in this.
As some members already suggested, please send a pm to Victor, the worksheets you refer to were not the same and I do not understand why they were removed.
This kind of situations happen frequently ...and I take the chance to thank you for your great contributions to the site.
About the reported ws that are voted to stay & do not appear the next day, I noticed it was the case when the member had uploaded new ws...Am I clear ???
That �s what happened to me : Two of my "frozen" ws were voted to stay but never appeared again ; I thought the reason was that I had already uploaded ws for the next day. ( so, maybe, there were too many????) Just a thought
I � one of the lot of supporters who stand for you and your excellent worksheets. This is what really matters. I completely understand your disappointment but try to overcome this feeling.
thanx i �m really touched i didn �t know that i had so many friends who care about me and my wss what �s really matters is your support i won �t care about wss �s removal anymore thanx again ou are really good and true friends as it �s said �a friend in need is a friend indeed
I also recommend contacting Victor. I thought that the worksheets were sufficiently dissimilar to warrent staying but the majority of people who vote don �t leave a comment so it �s impossible to know who voted for and against.
Don �t let this put you off sharing your work with us!
Hi Ben! I remember the worksheets you �re talking about and they shouldn �t have been removed.
My question is, were they? Have you received a message from victor saying they had been removed? Or have you assumed that because they did not appear in today �s contributions?
I hope it �s the last situation because it can be easily solved with a message to Victor. Maybe Sylvie is right and the system doesn �t accept another worksheet if you have uploaded 3 contributions on that day.
Now if it happens to be the first case, moderators voting against the rules, you should not forget it. But I �m more inclined to believe it is the 2nd situation because one or 2 moderators may once or twice vote against the rules, but I really can �t believe that more than 50% of the voters on your worksheets did that. So it would be really importnt if you could clarify us on this.
