Getting totally confused!
|
Hello everybody!
Could anyone please help me know if there is anything wrong with my worksheets? I �ve uploaded 3 ws since Monday but no one has downloaded any. I �m not a premium member so I don �t know if my ws are there among the free downloadable ones or not.
What I would like to know is whether there is anything wrong with my ws or there is a problem with the system here.
P.S the 10 and 8 points belong to two old ws that I updated this week.
Thanx

I can only see a worksheet with body parts besides the other two you mentioned. I have no idea what happened. The only thing I can think of is that the two worksheets were reported for some reason (you may have taken them from a site, they may not be an ESL resource, in a word, they may not abide by the rules). I I �m not sure if you read the rules. You can only upload your contributions. For example, the worksheet on body parts I have seen it recently in the reported contributions. I don �t think you did it yourself, did you? Just asking.
Have a nice day,

Hi anygirl. If no one downloads our worksheets we receive no points. There is nothing wrong with the system. Each download = 1 point.
Hope you have a nice day. Looking forward to seeing your next contributions. Don �t give up please.

How come that the two worksheets were reported? I made them myself and I dare if anybody in the world say ther are theirs. You check them yourself. I think you are professional and you can easily know if they are taken from anyother place.

If you read the review of the ws, you �ll notice that I mentioned that I took this card from a website, but then I modified it twice to fit the activity. Is this something unallowed here?
Thanx for your comment |

What does this mean? Does it mean that I shouldn �t update my ws and it better if I upload them again?
But I think if I do, they would say that I �m doing something illegal here .. I don �t know |

Please Abdelhadi, don �t make a conclusion from what I said... If you had uploaded two worksheets since Monday, today is Thursday and your worksheets disappeared from your page, I said
"The only thing I can think of is that the two worksheets were reported for some reason (you may have taken them from a site, they may not be an ESL resource, in a word, they may not abide by the rules)."
The fact is that I have never heard of any other possibility for a worksheet to disappear from our page. Either we ourselves deleted it, or the system did it. When does it do it? When after a month a worksheet has 0 downloads, which is not the case, or when a worksheet is reported.
I just want to make clear that I have not a crystal ball and those were just the possibilities, the plausible, logic possibilities I could think to justify the fact that your worksheets disappeared.
Have a nice day.

Oh dear, my misunderstanding! thanks jecika!! Forget all I said Abdelhadi! You have updated your worksheets. That �s the problem. Your worksheets do not appear in today �s contribution. Sorry. When we update a worksheet they do not appear again in today �s contribution. That �s the rule. Can you imagine the thousands of worksheets that would be in today �s contribution if that happened?
Take care.

mena22 Yes I see. There would be thousands of them and everybody then would be gaining more and more points and this may affect the creativity of people here. Anyway, I think I did a mistake by updating them, but is there any way out now?
Hope you find me one 
Thanx in advance
