Hi, Sarah. What you're saying makes perfect sense, and that's what I'd
originally thought. I was just confused in this particular case when I
thought a book was being validated, not already in the collection, and it
was being rejected, then resubmitted by the one validating it. That was what
I'd thought, anyway. Take care.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] submitting/validating/replacing: credit
This toppic seems to cause constant confusion, but actually it makes some
sense.
When a person submits a book they must be logged in. That means that the
bookshare system knows the book was submitted by you whether you allow it to
show your name for uploads or not.
The book immediately gets added to the download for validation list when you
get the message saying "Thank you for submitting this copy of blablabla by
blablabla." Notice it says "this copy," so if someone rejects that copy
that you submitted you do not get the $2.50credit for your submission.
If someone else submits a copy of the same book and it is accepted they will
get credit for their copy of the book.
Ok, now for a book already in the collection...
The submitter of the book in the collection has already been given their
$2.50 credit. They may or may not have used that credit to renew their
subscription. they may or may not have credit on their account at this
time. If a new copy of a book they submitted is submitted and accepted
their book will be replaced. The $2.50 credit the original submitter
received can not and is not taken away. It wouldn't make sense to take
credit away, because credit might not exist any more to be taken, and
besides that person did provide an acceptable book to the collection for a
while. The second accepted copy of the book might even be an improved
editted version of the original. The second submitter may or may not have
rescanned the entire book.
Since the admins and the bookshare system don't know what exactly happens to
a book, credit must be assigned in a way that normally is correct, but might
not be fair in any one particular case.
Please tell me if this message is not clear.
