Question

Some people on here, are rude as can be to people who need help with something. And just so everyone knows, I hate rude people. So if I see someone being a total jerk towards someone, I will jump in and say something. -.-

Answer 1

Please don't :) Just click on the report abuse button and let us jump upon the situation.

Answer 2

I changed that one word to jerk because I consider the other word inappropriate. And yes just report. Thanks.

Answer 3

Agreed with @FoolForMath and @myininaya on this one @Kittyrae15 - the goal of OpenStudy is to provide an open, helpful learning environment. It's our job as moderators to keep the community like this - it wouldn't be fair to expect users to try and change things on their own.

Also, by Reporting Abuse you basically take a 'snapshot' of the incident in question, and allow us to step in and (hopefully) make a difference. Thank you!

Answer 4

Yeah, good point, guys. Definitely only be rude to people if they deserve it.

Answer 5

I disagree with that @SmoothMath . Please report rudeness and it is best not to respond. Just walk away and the moderators will take care of it.

Answer 6

Should I report myself if I'm being rude?

Answer 7

Sure

Answer 8

But if someone is being rude, it is likely they will not report themselves.

Answer 9

I'm a wild-card.

Answer 10

I know.

Answer 11

I'm gonna feel really hurt if my abuse-report goes ignored. =(
And also if you punish me for such a bogus abuse-report.

Either way, I'm gonna be mildly peeved.

Answer 12

Just give me a warning. That way we're both happy.

Answer 13

Lol but I didn't find it rude,

Answer 14

Also @SmoothMath - I can assure you that everytime you report abuse, some action is taken by a moderator - be it a formal warning, a Direct Message, or some harsher action. Just because some actions are not visible, doesn't mean nothing happens.

Also, regarding self-reporting, that's a call each user can make, though I don't like the odds ;)

Answer 15

Every time? What if it's not a valid report? That must happen.

Answer 16

If a user keeps making bogus reports, we warn them because that is spamming.

Answer 17

Seems legit.

Answer 18

You guys are absolutely right. I'm sorry/:

Answer 19

Kitty, I forgive you.

Answer 20

Please only actually report yourself if you are going against the CoC. Thanks all. :)

Answer 21

And that goes for others too of course. Not just yourself.

Answer 22

If I'm reporting myself without cause, then that is a violation of the CoC, which is cause for filing a report.

Answer 23

Logic'll getcha.

Answer 24

Very witty SmoothMath, but annoying all the same. You're cluttering up my inbox, which makes me angry. And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.....

Ok, it's official, I'm never quoting Hulk again. -.-

Answer 25

lol Okay, sorry, Bruce =( I'll stop reporting myself for a while.

Answer 26

I heard ducks bite when they are angry.

Answer 27

i thought the self abuse report was a mistake by @darthsid and never fixed it??

Answer 28

I don't really make mistakes, just ... er, oversights?
I'll file a bug, thanks

Answer 29

haha

Answer 30

Be nice or get reported! i think saying that would make the rude boy or girl shut up..?

Answer 31

@TheSmartOne do you think we should link abb0t to this? :P

Answer 32

Close ze question! :3
