OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

Wow

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

swapping answers is the anithesis of teaching

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\textit{The}\) Parth?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

yeah,,there is only one! ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Parth is a highlander ;)

Parth (parthkohli):

@shubhamsrg There is another Parth in my class -- that's how common the name is. o.O

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

But do u think they will go and make a new account?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

i'll give you an example..there might be many named sachin,,but ofcorse,,there is only one! ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im sure they will make new accounts, but eventually they should get the idea of how to properly use the site

Parth (parthkohli):

@amistre64 :) you're the knight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would u do that to people ?????

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

yeah! seconded,,that irritated me a lot also.. makes me a bigger fan og @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

why would i suspend people for abusing this site? becasue i can :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this site has a purpose, a vision, and it is not to promote cheating. It is to promote learning.

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

The biggest issue is in how the interactions are happening; they way the questions are asked and the way people respond to them.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

*Swap swap swap swap swap*

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

lol @Compassionate

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

man @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lovely Idea.

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

YAY

OpenStudy (compassionate):

If someone swaps an answer for someone swapping an answer, but in reality you are the one who needs to swap the answer, then did you swap in the first place?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

short answer .... yes

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

*Confused* @Compassionate

OpenStudy (amistre64):

long answer .... yessiree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or SPAM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we see someone swapping answers how can we report it to u?

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

MENTION THE MODS

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the report abuse button notifs all the mods

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

WHOOPS CAPS

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

@mikala1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 HATS OFF TO YOUR IDEA,,,

OpenStudy (compassionate):

hero (hero):

Wow, Welcome to the post 2012 world.

Parth (parthkohli):

Note that the title says, “Anyone found swapping answers for Connections Academy assignments (or any other school) will simply be suspended.” And not “OpenStudy drawing competition”. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i dont go there lol but ik there was some in english section

hero (hero):

I don't understand why students would prefer answer swapping over getting actual help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because people here can't explain

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but thats the key; if you can explain a concept, then you have learned it. And can teach it

hero (hero):

Maybe students just don't understand what is being explained.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because explaining wasn't good enough

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have noticed one thing though. Ever since summer break it seems like more people are in chat talking about everything but school and it takes forever to get answers now :l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OS develope SMART people online... like @amistre64 ;)

hero (hero):

I'm pretty sure @amistre64 was smart before OS

hero (hero):

@amistre64, what are you doing?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a little house cleaning is all

hero (hero):

You have to learn to appreciate the dialog in its original form.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the chat versions have run thier course, but the sentiment remains

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

HEY I JUST HELPED SOMEONE AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yay!! did you use any profanity while doing it?

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

NO ma'am

hero (hero):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

y would i do da?

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

me a gud boy

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

@amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmmmmm

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So...much...replies...*dies*

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

lol

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

I do 1,000,000. Try dat:)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there is a limit to the number of hours we can suspend :) but it is a pretty large number ... prolly a prime number

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Or just a 1. With a long slew of 0's

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

What?!?! Whats the limit?1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just love the word slew...

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ikr it sounds cool!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slew of 0's

OpenStudy (amistre64):

farmdawg knows the limit, or matt; is matt still around?

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

I ain't seen matt in awhile

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@amistre64 really appreciate that move!! salutes!!

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Matt has been here

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

@amistre64 WHats the new ban buttons for?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

dunno, i havent used it yet; i think it just steals credit card information :)

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

lol

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Nooo..lol. Use it. So funny.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

I just did my first suspension of the day!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i now lots of peope from connections academy they say its hard

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it may be hard, but it shouldnt be that difficult for the students to simply post the questions that they need help on. Instead they post phishiers to try to get together and swap answers ... cheat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya but true but what is some ask for just explinationsnot answers

OpenStudy (amistre64):

help is fine by me, which means working thru the problems and learning the material

OpenStudy (hba):

I am very thankful to you for doing this :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

farmdawg thinks im being a bit harsh :)

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

ur a smart cookie @amistre64
