I feel tired helping remove copied contributions
 
Hello!

I thought I was lucky because I am a user with more than 1000 points and can help  to remove copied contributions and non-ESL resources. But...
I know that we somehow have to try and help Victor keep this site and the workpages posted, but I got tired today just from clicking and checking and recommending contributions which are not ESL material.
I understand that we have to be sherifs and when there is a copied WS we should report it and it hould be removed imediately, but why oh why do I have to vote for nON_ESL material such as images, clipart pages, empty pages, non-English pages (Arabic or other). Isn �t that OBVIOUS that these pages ARE NOT ESL material ?
Who needs our approval or our vote??? If I see it so does others .
As someone else said on the site earlier - it �s not that we sit 24/7 and do nothing else - we have work to do - teach, prepare lesons, check tests and other things connected to school work, so why waste our time when it is obvious that the ages are NOT ESL material?
I do see the point when someone claims that the pages was stoten/copied.
Please help us here.

I wouldn �t worry about it...

 
this site obviously has plenty of users with more than 1000 users....so eventually, the job will get done...
 
it �s like having 10000 teachers planning for a test, the test will eventually be flawless...

my dear anatavner,

Imagine that if you are tired of doing that job, Victor was even more than tired. It �s a very hard work for another teacher who works, prepares his classes, has a family and even his own life. But he is generous enough to share with us this site where we can upload and mainly download thousand of worksheets.
 
 I think that he has designed a kind of authomatic system and if we vote that ws , it is automaticaly deleted and a message is sent to the member. That �s what I think, maybe I �m mistaken. Victor can confirm or deny it!!! And he is only asking us to take a few minutes to vote!!
 
But, as tbalis has said, you don �t need to vote, if you don �t want to. Besides, I remember that some time ago, people asked Victor to do this job, and now it has become true!!!!
