HI E:
As a validator I can definitely understand your frustration. I truly wish we
could explain to the submitters why a book is being rejected.
I don't think E's comment was offensive. She is genuinely trying to help
this submitter get better settings for her scans. When validators post
comments about books on the list, submitters should view it as us helping
them to get better scans, not as personal attacks. After all, if they
produce a better quality book, chances are it will take less time for such
book to get in to the collection. If criticism is not made how is someone
suppose to learn.
I recently rejected 2 Johanna Lindsey books because of page breaks.
Apparently this person scans with columns on instead of 2 page mode. I can
just hear other volunteers saying that page breaks can be inserted. Yes they
can in some cases. But in this particular case most of the pages have both
headers and numbers at the top of the page which makes it impossible to tell
where 1 page ends and the other begins. And to get a print copy to put in
page breaks, now you're limiting who can validate this book. Oh and let's
not forget that in order to put in correct page breaks you have to make sure
that you have the right addition.
Grace who is another frustrated validator.

I appologize for any harsh messages I have sent this evening. I will no
longer download books submitted by that submitter. Someone else can decide
what do do with them. I notice that they get submitted, someone grabs them
to validate and that person keeps the book for a couple of months, renewing
week after week. Then the book is sent back to the step 1 page. No
decision is made on it. I started on the project of cleaning books which
have sat on the step 1 list. They often follow this pattern.
Folks, I know some of my comments may be harsh. I know some of you have
suggsted books to kicked back to the step 1 page time after time after
time with no resolution for over a year in most cases. I do not think
this is fair to the submitter, the validators or those who ultimately are
going to read the book when it finally makes it to the step 1 page. I can
certainly reject books without giving reasons. I would not have named
names on this list but this submitter does this time and time again. So
this is the last I will say about this person and her work. Sorry if I
have been rude. I am deeply frustrated.
E.
