HI Everybody!Yesterday I uploadad a powerpoint. This morning before having my first coffee I went stariaght to the computer to see howit was getting on! To my surprise not only my new powerpoint had been reported but two of my old worksheets as well!!! I felt sooooo diappointed !!! Is there any possibility of getting to know what was wrong with them??. The only thing I can tell you is that I made them myself and that they were not stolen.
Thanks in advance! Have a nice day, Tresreinas |

I suppose you used copyrighted clipart, that is what usually makes people report worksheets or power points.
here is an extract from the rules of this site:
Contributions:
-
You can get points by uploading printables,
powerpoints, or online exercises. -
Your contributions must be 100% in English
language. -
Your contributions must be your own
creations. You can use free images from cliparts or other free sources.
You can also use images that you have subscribed to and paid for. -
You can �t publish any document including
pictures or contents taken from iclipart.com, since it �s against their
terms of use. -
Worksheets containing watermarked cliparts
are not allowed and will be removed from now on. -
Please, don �t use pictures taken from
other ESL websites or books, even if you add your own exercises. -
If you have a worksheet that you didn �t
make yourself (borrowed from a colleague teacher, for example) don �t
send it. It might be taken from a website or book, and your account
could be banned on account of it. -
You can use texts from other websites or
books in your worksheets if you add your own exercises or activities (For example, reading
comprehension questions, etc). Please don �t take texts from other ESL
websites or books, it would be unfair. -
If your worksheet is just a reading text,
it will only be accepted if the text is written by you. -
It is acceptable to take a text from other
sources (not ESL websites or ESL books) and add your own exercises or
activities, but you are not allowed to take an exercise from another
source and add more exercises of your own. All the exercises must be yours. -
You can use songs (traditional or modern)
but make sure that you add your own exercises or activities. If your
worksheet consists of just the song with a beautiful decoration, it will be
considered a copy, since the content is not yours. Of course, if you
write your own song, it will be gladly accepted, even if you don �t add any
exercises. -
Worksheets consisting just of lists (such
as "Phrasal verbs list" or "Irregular verbs list") are allowed, although
they are not recommended because everybody can find them in other
websites for free. Of course, they are not allowed if you have copied
them from another source. -
You are not allowed to send the same
worksheet twice.

Thanks elderberrywine for your answer!!! I have been a member for a couple of years and I know the rules but I would lijke to get some feedback since I don �t know for sure which one I haven �t followed. What really surprised me was that the three of them were reported simultaneously and two were quite old!! Tresreinas |

Hi, It was reported because you have a watermarked clipart on the fifth slide of your ppt. |
