Question

I have a question. I was wondering, how often does your SS increase?

Answer 1

Depends on how often you answer stuff and get medals.

Answer 2

Ok

Answer 3

@Agent_Sniffles that is where i have my question. How many medals and fans do you have to get to increase your SS.

Answer 4

I've been here for over a year, not sure when they changed the score system, but it took me awhile to get to 99

Answer 5

I'm not sure.
It'll just take awhile.

Answer 6

@Agent_Sniffles a year? and when did u reach 99 SS?

Answer 7

Um..
Lemme check.

Answer 8

Between March 3rd and March 10th

Answer 9

Of this year @Agent_Sniffles ?

Answer 10

No one knows how SS works. Its the great "mystery". lol.

But, like sniffles said, just answer questions and participate. (:

Answer 11

Or rather how its calculated.

Answer 12

i think each medal u get puts your smart score up by 1

Answer 13

Yeah. This year..they did this scoring system in.. um.. I'm not sure, like I said.

Answer 14

No, @jack63 i think its maybe like depends on your SS you currently have. I have noticed that beginners and the noobs they increase really fast, but then as you get higher and higher it takes more for you to increase.

Answer 15

This year @Agent_Sniffles i thought you had 99 SS since like January o.0

Answer 16

Nope ;p

Answer 17

Cuz i have always seen you green.

Answer 18

that is true when i got here i was at 72 ss but went down

Answer 19

yeah, i heard like it goes down something related to if the lowest user increases something something i cant remember lol

Answer 20

i think it was 72 i am not sure

Answer 21

@Agent_Sniffles but you done have all greens as in the 3 categories of SS and ur still green and 99 haha? how?

Answer 22

*dont

Answer 23

I have no idea how it all works ;P

Answer 24

i know some one who has a smart score of 100

Answer 25

yeah i thought they like averaged it out or something. Also some yellows have different titles even if they have the same SS like for example: Lifesaver, Learner, etc.

Answer 26

It also depends your activity on the site. If you go logged off for several months, and more users participate, and raise their SS... you're gonna go down the list eventually.

Answer 27

Answer 61

SO there is no like formula or stuff to figure out SS? @Agent_Sniffles @jack63 @jazy

Answer 62

Not that I know of.

Answer 63

SS is non-linear, the more your SS, the more it is difficult to increase.

Answer 64

yeah me to

Answer 65

yeah @hartnn I SAID that :)

Answer 66

I thought so.

Answer 67

if there is a formula, admins are never gonna reveal it.

Answer 68

@hartnn cuz i have seem ppl who are 99 SS and they don't have all greens as the 3 requirements sort of thing of SS

Answer 69

yeah, the main requirement is problem solving, if thats more, your SS will be more.

Answer 70

Oh ok BTW is @satellite73 a teacher here on OS or like a tutor? Or just a student?

Answer 71

HEy @hartnn i cant open my profile thing?

Answer 72

I have the same problem as @Directrix

Answer 73

Did urs get solved @Directrix

Answer 74

there are some technical problems going on OS, they will get solved pretty soon. hvae patience.

Answer 75

I cannot get my private message function to work. My profile page was out for two weeks and then came back. Now, I need to see if it still works. This site is "buggy." We need insect spray.

Answer 76

this is a big problem!

Answer 77

haha yeah we do @Directrix
and okaii i shall be patient @hartnn

Answer 78

Man my score hasn't been moving at all lately.

Answer 79

@wio yeah i have noticed

Answer 80

mine has been moved only a little bit

Answer 81

@some_someone My profile page still works. But, I cannot see yours. It is bugged out. Look, what somebody in Feedback told me to do is to e-mail contact@openstudy.com or post a thread about the problem and write @shadowfiend in the thread about the problem. Patience will get you nowhere here because how will anybody know you have a problem if you don't report it? The frustrating thing is that there should be a thread dedicated to Tech Support issues. As it is, it is just "hit and miss" as to whether a person's tech problem will be noticed posted in a thread. In my case, my mail is "out" so I cannot even send a message to "shadow" to request help.

Answer 82

hmm okai i will try that. @Directrix

Answer 83

but i like the idea of a Tech Support

Answer 84

@some_someone I was here the day that the medal system flipped over to SmartScore but I was not an OpenStudier when there was medals given for the categories of "Love Life Help," "Emotions," and "Undefined."

Answer 85

there were those categories?

Answer 86

why r they not here now

Answer 87

oh yeah @Agent_Sniffles had that.

Answer 88

that just sucks i bet i would be good in emotions

Answer 89

what did u do there @Directrix

Answer 90

lots of medals

Answer 91

http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/love%20life%20help%20and%20advice

Answer 92

but why would they give you medals?

Answer 93

These are not my medal counts so I don't know what went on or how the person was awarded medals. My medals are mostly math.

Answer 94

okey
