Well, someone reported one of my printables yesterday, because it was a black and white version of another one.. The funny thing is I NEVER UPLOAD BLACK AND WHITE CONTRIBUTIONS! And you want to know an even funnier thing? It was removed! :D
I don �t know what happened but the moderators actually agreed with the person that reported my printable using that excuse!
If they say it was repeated, I would try to understand, because the versions I upload are, sometimes, very similar but not the same.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

I don �t know Orihime - I didn �t see this yesterday. However, I would hope that moderators open WS �s to see for themselves before voting unless it is clearly obvious. |

It was me who reported it. I wanted to report it as repeated but as you uploaded both version at the same time, it wasn �t possible. Even Mena left a comment under your second contribution. She said she was disappointed because she downloaded both versions and they were the same - only couple of words were changed. As a moderator you should know the rules better. It is only right it has been removed because we are not allowed to upload wss with identical exercises. I left a comment explaining why I reported the ws for different reasons and as you can see most of the moderators agreed with me. I am only surprised you have the courage to complain here because you certainly know the exercises were identical. It �s disappointing.

Hi orihime! I must agree 100% with MJ_Misa. As I �ve said many times before, when two versions of the same test are uploaded in different files, we expect them to have the very same structure, the same type of exercises and the same level of difficulty, but not the same text and exactly the same exercises, otherwise it is no longer another version, but the very same just with a different order, as for example your multiple choice exercise, in which just the order was changed. In addition, the fact is that all the answers were the same, so there was really no difference between the two versions. This is not the first time worksheets like these have been reported as repeated and removed. So there must be some coherence here. So sorry. I really like your work, but I can �t agree with you. Have a nice weekend. Hugs, mena

I understand and indeed some of the exercises were identical but the grammar was different and the crosswords as well.
If the administrators and other users think they have no use for 2 versions of the same test, who am I to judge that criteria?
I just wonder why wasn �t the worksheet reported immediately but rather almost at the end of the day...
Thanks for clearing things up, dear MJ_Misa and Mena. I thought I was contributing with two versions and I didn �t put them in the same printable due to the size limit. I created two tests (as I normally do) and I wanted to share them. That �s all!
Thank you once again.

And I do have to courage to complain, MJ_Misa, because I didn �t understand why! I used them as 2 versions of the same test and that was the purpose. If it was misunderstood, I am sorry, but I had to know exactly why it was removed! :)

Orihime,
your wss are really nice but the rules are for all of us the same. I wasn �t happy to report it at all but I still think it was fair.
Hope there won �t be bad feelings.

My God, orihime, just apologise. I �ve had a look and you �ve got 13 000 + points! Why are you scrabbling for more? What �s it all about? |

No, of course not, MJ_Misa. It was only fair, I guess. As I said, I needed to know the reason and now it seems just fine. I published them as 2 versions of the same test, if it wasn �t perceived as such, my bad.
I wish you have a wonderful weekend! :)

Cunliffe: why do you think this is a way to get more points? Is this the reason you publish worksheets? Well, it is not mine. I love sharing and receiving the wonderful work you can get around here.
And if you read everything carefully, I was just trying to know the reason and I got it: the contributors and the moderators understood that one of the versions was too identical to be considered a second version. I got it and moved on... what �s your problem now?
