Worksheets by e-mail
|
I�ve come across a member (booda55) who ask people send him/her their worksheets by e-mail! That�s a strange idea and I think it�s against the rules.
Obviously, this member would like to get all the worksheets without using his/her points, but it is not really fair. Especially because sending a worksheet by e-mail means that the person who had made the worksheet wouldn�t get any points for it simple because it wasn�t downloaded!

Happy New Year everyone.
I was asked by another member to send 7 of my worksheets and I did. I didn�t mind as long as they were all mine. I wouldn�t send any worksheets made by other members here. And this wasn�t my first to be asked. I agree with ladybird but one member asked me because she needed the worksheet for her tomorrow�s lesson so I sent it with a note saying "please do me a favor and upload your worksheet one day to give back. thanks."
Greetings from Japan. |

I had a look at his profile, there is only his name and a flag. He probably doesn�t even intend to anticipate. I think he�s just a chancer. |

Micah, I�m not talking about a single occasion when someone asks for a worksheet as a favour - although I can�t really imagine the reason for that unless it�s really the first time the person is on this site.
What I�m talking about is that as I was doing my downloading this morning I saw the request for the worksheet by e-mail among the comments in various places. When I saw the same message again for the fourth or fifth time, I got annoyed with it.

I got your message. In that case, THAT is annoying.
And I must say, I was a little confused when someone (in this case someone I�m not familiar with) just pops in to private messanger to ask for so many worksheets.
But leaving comments about asking for it instead of thanking for it is not a very good manner. They should know that everybody spends a lot of time making their worksheets and they should earn it instead of getting them free.
Thanks for clearing my misunderstanding and have a good day.
