Hi Cindy!
I have not even checked for names. I still can't get my computer to read the steps in validating which comes up every time I download a book. I am knew at this and not gifted in the use of computers. I will try to reject this book and get it from the library and do a rescan.
LOL
Hope

Hope,

I chuckled when I read the part of your post that I've
saved below. That suggestion has been made before by
frustrated valdiators, especially because there's one
person in particular who, at least before, was
throwing up very poor scans. It has been suggested
that her scans be rejected automatically and/or that
she be told not to submit any more. I don't know what
has happened, or whether she is still submitting. I
have downloaded a number of her scans  to correct, for
which I can obtain the books, and one of her friends
who is also a very careful validator seems to be doing
that also.  If I am enjoying the book, I will take the
time to fix it. They are, so far, books that are
worthwhile having in the collection for other people
to enjoy. So far I've rejected one that was not only
really bad but that was long and that I wasn't
enjoying. The one I finished and the one I'm working
on are fine in some places and really chopped up in
others. (I wonder, from your description, if your book
was submitted by the same person -- but no names here,
please).

-. Is there a way
to disallow people who do a poor job from scanning?
It eats up peoples time
if they are serious about validating. I for one will
not submit a scan until
I ensure it is correct. It would be better for
people to submit 1 excellent
scan then 10 fair scans.
Have a nice day.
