Answer 7

Instead of tagging a mod, click the little 'report abuse' button under the question

Answer 8

what??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? confused

Answer 9

See but with tagging a mod the question is deleted

Answer 10

ooohhh nm i got it :D

Answer 11

Usually mods don't want to be tagged... they'll see it and delete if you use the report abuse button. That's what the button is for.

Answer 12

they dont mind being tagged if it is a question like there has been in the past.

Answer 13

But why would you tag one when you could just use the handy button?

Answer 14

I feel this is a problem that we need to resolve. trolls and Spammers need IP bands

Answer 15

because then then the question is deleted and there's no proof

Answer 16

The thing with IP Bans is it messes up other users that have the same IP As other users.

Answer 17

Well people can take a screen shot Ill show you, if you use Windows 7 use this You can take a screen shot

Answer 18

Yeah, IP banning could ban a whole school. And it's fairly easy to change your IP

Answer 19

Yes i agree with Kym, I could have the same IP as a troll and i wouldn't be able to come on the site bc a troll got IP Banned.

Answer 20

^yep i go to a public school

Answer 21

Well someone needs to contact the school

Answer 22

0.o

Answer 23

i go to public school too.... there's like 5 other people that i got on Openstudy sooooo yeah

Answer 24

U aint gotta worry about be banned unless the people come on here to be nasty and stuff so dont worry about it til then

Answer 25

@notamathgenius why contact the school?

Answer 26

Contact the school so whoever does the Computer tech. can block OS from it and no one can do the things they do, and they need to learn this on their own they have teachers, home schoolers do not have the teachers for it so therefore it seems more fair.

Answer 27

wow some dude in the mathematics section posted this thing that said like "F" you O.S. sucks..... wow

Answer 28

Where mention me in it :)

Answer 29

huh? #Confusion

Answer 30

Never mind, Ill find it.

Answer 31

@Notamathgenius i am in public online schooling...i cannot contact the teachers that teach the courses...but instead i come on here and only get help when absolutely necessary

Answer 32

ok :) although i think a mod already closed it :/ sooo yeah

Answer 33

@KeganMoore I understand 100% I am too, I mean children that wake up everyday get on a buss/car and go to a school. They should have all computers Block of O.S

Answer 34

actuallly i wake up every morning, get on a bus, go to school.... and i'm on O.S. :D) just thought you should know :P lol

Answer 35

Why, Nota?

Answer 36

i get on a bus and go to school...but we are on computers all day and the "teachers" are only here to keep anarchy from reigning pretty much...if this was blocked i would not be as close to graduating as i am right now

Answer 37

@Notamathgenius y do u think that?

Answer 38

It will solve a lot of problems, But I am only giving my input not saying it should happen.

Answer 39

That is very true.

Answer 40

homeschoolers generally respect sites like this more than public school goers do

Answer 41

See yes u are very right but then there maybe users that go to a regular school that are serious on here

Answer 42

I don't know, but I do know it's a problem that needs to be resolved, and fast before this whole site turns and no one comes to learn only to be a jerk and what not.

Answer 43

I leave for for five minutes and BAM you guys spam my notifs lol

Answer 44

I don't get what you're saying, Nota. That the spammers/ trolls are public school kids?

Answer 45

No Not all of them, but 99.995 of them are.

Answer 46

@hartnn can you please just delete this...or close it..it has gotten out of hand..

Answer 47

No Leave it we are having a discussion

Answer 48

And how do you know this, Nota?

Answer 49

@Snuggielad how is it out of hand? This is a legitimate discussion about the topic.

Answer 50

no we're trying to discuss a really important matter.... if you don't want to hear it, then leaving would be the mature thing to do... okay sooo where were we?? lol

Answer 51

Ok @kymber If we could take a survey what would you see more of? We should do it just to check.

Answer 52

i'm still stuck on the pervs on this site personally

Answer 53

It's not at all a bad idea. But i need to get you guys to side with me on this.

Answer 54

i do

Answer 55

i agree with a survey

Answer 56

yeah it'll help A LOT

Answer 57

If someone is making you uncomfortable, report it.
Nota, go ahead and survey the spammers. But I'm asking how you know that majority of them are public school kids?

Answer 58

You can tell most of the home schooled kids are mature and not ignorant. Public school kids are immature, followers of the bad kids and do what they want.

Answer 59

What makes you think that home school kids are so SUPERIOR to public school kids? What is this generalization based off of?

Answer 60

Never said that. Have you seen kids today, very disrespectful to adults they do what they want, the smoke, drink, have sexual interactions with others and they are all below the age of 18, and it's been proven I don't mean to sound like a bigot but its true.

Answer 61

Link me the source that says homeschool kids don't do any of those things.

Answer 62

Its always better to use the "Report abuse " button rather than tagging a mod.First of all many mods find it hard to get to that post in midst of many notifications .Tagging only calls on a few mods ,while reporting notifies all the online mods and also they receive an email about the report .
