Question

Hey guys I have two questions
1. What is the point of being able to kick people from my group? They just come right back...
2. Does my SmartScore increase more if I'm working in math over other subjects? Because I help in English/Writing/Literature stuff and Music but I don't answer Math questions as much and my level just doesn't budge.

Answer 1

smartscore is what you can call "global" so it will increase wherever you are...

the point of kicking is to remove them from a group...it's kinda like asking "what is the purpose of suspending they can just make a new account" does that answer that? :D

Answer 2

The SmartScore thing helped, but kicking literally does absolutely nothing because 20 seconds later they're back, with the same account.

Answer 3

if you have a good reason to kick them, then you can do it to "show" them that they are doing something wrong but if that bad behaviour repeats report them aswell and global mods will try to make sure that it won't happen again

if you get ip ban u wont be able to create another account from at least same ip but of course you can overcome it

Answer 4

Ah, okay. I've only had to kick 2 people and one of them (surprisingly) actually asked if she could come back, but the other was just trolling. At least now I know, thank you! @Tomas.A

Answer 5

It wasn't me was it, im a good boy....usually

Answer 6

A kick is really just intended to be a wake up call. Of course, if the user doesn't listen to that wake up call, then we would need to get involved. Of course, if they are obviously trolling feel free to play a game of whack-a-mole until we show up. It's going to be more irritating for them than for you. Hehe.

In regard to the SmartScore: after you get up into the 60's it gets harder to progress. That's just how it goes. People active in Math progress quicker because of the higher volume of questions. That's the only way they have an advantage.

Answer 7

@farmdawgnation , only if they don't know what they are doing.

Answer 8

for the record...that was what i meant by my metaphor :D some users also happen to level-up all three of their paramterssimultaneously that's why they level up fast ^_^

Answer 9

I don't understand. How can you kick someone from a group? And how is it "your" group?

Answer 24

I became a group mod because of passion and dedication in my group as a user. Two other mods asked me if I would like to be a group mod, and I lived happily ever after.

Answer 25

@mmoul18 As @Tomas.A mentioned, group mods were once auto-appointed based on the highest ranking user in a group. We did away with that system because some of our high level users got bored and caused a moderate amount of mayhem with their group moderator powers. heheh. Anyway, group mods are currently only being used in small groups that the Global Mods can't police as regularly.

If you want to be a group mod, your best bet is to show that you have a high level of dedication to that group. And make friends with @cshalvey. :)
