stolen worksheet

today somebody has uploaded my "personality adjectives" worksheet as her/his work. I don �t think that take other �s people worksheets is a good way to be in this website. so, dear friends, what can we do to avoid these things? bye. Lidia

Unfortunately there �s nothing we can do about dishonest people. The other day I found (yet again) one of my worksheets on another site and the person hadn �t even bothered to change the names of the people in the dialogue (incidentally they were the real names of my students!!) so .......

Just be sure to report it here and it will be taken off. I believe that if someone does this more than once, his/her profile is taken off the site.

This happens all the time : have a look at the thread below

The only thing you can do is ( as you did) report it and moderators and Victor will do their job.
I find it a bit annoying to see people complaining all the time on the forum,about their stolen work Unhappy

it pushes other threads asking for help down .Don �t you think the forum main purpose is to give each other help?I guess you were angry and needed to vent, in which case the caf� allows that Smile

It can be upsetting to have your work stolen and it always irks me to see the lovely comments and points going to someone who deserves exactly the opposite. I must agree with Janet that someone who takes from another member should be removed, as often they have multiple accounts or have already been removed before or how else can they steal a work from here when they have zero points.

I myself think it a valid topic for the forum and as we see "Stolen contributions" has its own forum heading. The caf� is all sweetness and compassion. I know people get sick of it sometimes and that the people who do the stealing probably have no interest in the forum or the topic. Can we call in the NSA?

The question has been asked before,

"Why do people steal worksheets and upload them here?"

I don �t think it is just for the 30 free worksheets a day otherwise they would stop once they reached 30 points but they often don �t, so it �s chasing after points, recognition and praise. If your work is stolen then report it correctly by linking it to your original work, as it will be easier for moderators to check and remove.

I found one my posters, which isn �t even on this site, in 70 different links. Ah well! Truth will out. Sleep well Lidia.
