I don't have an exact figure, but most books don't get kicked back to Step 1.

Rejecting a book removes it from Step 1. It can get back on Step 1 if someone from the staff thinks the rejection is wrong for some reason, but this doesn't usually happen.

If not, how does that happen?

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.
