I think Cindy's absolutely right in her words below.

And actually, I like getting the fifty cents for validating. I do think that, perhaps, the amount should depend on the quality of the original scan. Maybe something like 50 for excellent and a dollar for fair? I know the BS team has roughly a billion and five suggestions from people which takes much time to implement, but even so, that's one from my thoughts to add to the list. :-)

I think the validation thing also depends on the kind of person you are. I'm only an average scanner, but I do really like validating. It's something I feel I can bee good at, where my scanning is primarily only done when it has to be. I still enjoy volunteering and like the validating as an option. Some people just scan, and some people just validate, some do both. It's just where one's skills and preferences lie. We all do it because we want to. I figure if one considers it something not quite worth the effort, then it's not necessary that that individual do it. Also, the beauty of it is that you only have to validate when you want to or have the time. There is no required amount, and I find that really nice.

Just my thoughts on it.

Allison

Sarah, you do get 50 cents credit for validating. Most
of us think it should be more, because in many cases
the submitter doesn't do much to it before submission
(there are quite a few exceptions, mainly the
submitters that are here in the discussion group, so
maybe "many" is not a fair word -- on the other hand,
I don't know how many submitters are not in the
discussion), and validating takes time and effort.
Although if one is careful and downloads books from
people like the ones here on the list, (I don't want
to mention names because I'm afraid I'll omit someone)
who do pre-validate before submitting, it's an easy
chore and worth the 50 cents.

Hi Sarah,

At the time I didn't know validators don't get
feedback.  I simply asked how
to make my e-kmail address show.  Now that I know we
do not get any feedback
at all, and no thanks either, I am not even sure I
want to continue
validating.  It is too much like "the old days" when
I worked as an office
assistant and people just took the work for granted.
 (smile)  I may just be
a member and let it go aat that.  Am I bitter?
Nope, just looking after the
self-esteem.  <lol>

I do have that option checked, but I could sware
I've never seen my E-mail
address on the download for validation page for a
book I have submitted.  I
aggree it is there for books that are in the
collection.  Are you sure you
understood just when the address would be shown?
Has anyone seen their E-mail address along with
there name on the validation
page?
