Reporting FC

Reporting FC
 
I have read something in the reporting section: "

single flashcard. You should upload at least 4 in one file to make set.

 I �ve seen Victor �s example of a single apple with no words, and Victor says: "Remove unles it �s part of a set" Unless
 
So, my question is, is there a list of rules i can �t find? or, are members just inventing rules? The apple example is clear, it doesn �t say the set = a single WS. So, why people keep reporting these FCs? I know it �s a matter of space, ok, buy we should send PM to tell the owner about this. Reporting the FC is not the solition.

I think it means if it is a set of flashcards WITHIN the same upload. Meaning 3 or 4 in one file altogether

But that �s not clear enough. I know it �s a matter of space but some people don �t know about it. So, shouldn �t we tell them instead of reporting? I think it �s not fair :S

Hi! I wasn �t able to find victor �s words now,  but I found Silke �s post  (April 13th)  which clarifies the issue being discussed http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=6808&page=2
 
As Victor has stated many times before, this site is not a collection of clipart and flashcards... And has anybody read what Victor wrote today???
 
"As I said before, A single flashcard would not be acceptable, but a set of flashcards (in a single document or a series of documents) would be OK.  We all understand that flashcards are esl resources. Don �t we?"
 
And here is another thing he wrote earlier on today:
 
"But if someone makes a worksheet like this:
Probably the cow wasn �t drawn by the user, so... I would say that the user is contributing nothing of his/her own work. If other users download this worksheet it would be because they like the cow. Should the user get points for a picture that he/she didn �t draw?
Moreover, it is a matter of space. We have limited gigabites, and we should reserve them for original ESL resources, not pictures that we could find in other websites. If we find a wonderful picture, we can share the link instead of making a worksheet with that picture.
It is different if you make a set of flashcards. In that case, you have to spend time looking for free pictures with the same "style" and topic. That is a personal work, and that is what we share here."

as I said, I can understand the space prob, of course i do! but, instead of reporting, shouldn �t we send a pm to the owner? Give him the oppotunity to change it?
 Or maybe there should be a list of rules. I don �t read the forum every day so I miss some of Victor �s comments. Like this one sent by mena22. I �ve never seen it :S
 Couldn �t these rules be included in the FAQ?

But the rule has been made. When you upload a worksheet you can read below the apple card:

"Single flashcards are not allowed, but you can send a SET of flashcards (at least 4)". I guess victor just hasn �t had time yet to update the FAQ.
 
Hugs,

P.S. I like your idea of privatemessaging instead of reporting the worksheets immediately. I myself do so most of the time, but we cannot make a rule of it, I´m afraid.

I �ve never seen this before :S
I send my WSS using the toolbar and this doesn �t appear :S Maybe there are more people who don �t know it.
I only see the apple example in the reporting page and there I can �t see the "at least 4"
Well, now i know it. Thxs
Night everybody :) Bed time :=)
