A question

Hi dear teachers! Today I have seen that two of Vanda � s wss were uploaded by a new member. He or she has no points- 0. The wss of course were reported as stolen, but the question is: - How can a member with no points get any material from this site? Don � t we need at least two points to download 2 wss? Does it mean that a member of this site downloads the material using his or her "legal" account, them makes a "fake" account and uploads the stolen material? Then for what purpose?

Hi,
Maybe the member you are referring to has downloaded Vanda �s ws from her blog and afterwards he/she has uploaded it here... |

Maybe the person has done this sort of carry on before - received points - downloaded then been booted from the site. REpeat offenders do have their accounts cancelled.
Alternatively they received the files from a friend who has an account.
Alternatively they made a worksheet that looks exactly like Vanda �s just by accident YEAH RIGHT!
good spotting - glad to see people are reporting!

The thing is that those members always have 0 points. They open an account and upload one of her worksheets. They are reported and disappear. it �s a cycle.
In my ipinion, and I �ve already said this before, someone has a fixation on her and opens a new, or several new accounts everyday. One of this person �s accounts has definitely more than 30 points for her/him to be able to download vanda �s worksheet or she/he might download from her blog, though I think the first option is more plausible.
As someone said yesterday, vanda �s work is really great, but why always her? Sometimes, 3 or 4 in a single day and everyday! That �s why I think that "fixation" thing is possible. Lately, I don �t even write a comment, I just vote for it to be removed.
Have a nice day.

I noticed that in the preview page you can do a Save Image As and copy the little preview picture. Can members make a worksheet this way (without the image being blurry when they enlarge it?)

Later...Ok, perhaps don´t answer this here. I don´t want to give people any ideas. You can answer me privately if you want. I was just wondering.

Sorry for the weird letter A in there. There must be something going on with my computer.
