If the books are not rejected or dealt with by validating them, they remain on Step 1 ad infinitim!!!

Isn't there another problem that this causes, namely that books that others might do are in noman's land as long as they're on the step 1 page? Again, I appologize if I'm being uninformed or dense. ----- Original Message ----- From: siss52 To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 7:33 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings Hi Gary, There is at least one submitter who keeps submitting poor scans regardless. People have even talked with this submitter, and on one occasion the submitter claimed not to have enough time to clean up the scans. Lisa Friendly posted that submitters will not get credit until the submissions are in the collection, and that this should stop people from submitting poor scans. So I guess the answer to your questioon is that there are those who will not take a hint. <smile> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Petraccaro To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 5:23 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings The thread has to do with poor submitters, right? If rejecting a book gets rid of the book, won't they get the hint when their books no longer show on the step 1 page? ----- Original Message ----- From: Jill O'Connell To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 12:53 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings I don't understand how rejecting a book has anything to do with this thread. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Petraccaro To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 9:55 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't rejecting a book remove it from the step one page? If not, how does that happen? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jill O'Connell To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 11:48 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings But that doesn't help us who are looking for a book to validate and trying to avoid the poor submitters. I think E's idea is wonderful and hopefully the benefit would be that when poor submitters' books stayed on the step 1 list for a long time, said submitter would get the idea that unless he submits better scans, his books aren't going to be validated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pratik Patel" <pratikp1@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 10:25 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings > While volunteers do not know the identity of the siad Bookshare.org > Volunteer, the staff have the capability of finding out. through the > software. > > -----Original Message----- > From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jill O'Connell > Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 11:29 PM > To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: books with less than excellent ratings > > I really like that idea! > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 6:35 PM > Subject: [bksvol-discuss] books with less than excellent ratings > > >> You may notice I notice that books with less than excellent ratings are >> listed sometimes as coming from "a bookshare volunteer". >> >> I respect the volunteer's need to remain anonymous though I frankly fail >> to quite understand the need.
