Question

Maintenance and Mod/Ambie opinions?

Answer 1

@Notamathgenius

Answer 2

Honestly there are a few good mods i like...but the others are just terrible, seriously why would you block people from being able to message you because you haven't fanned them? What kind of mod is that lazy that they block messaging! Most mods will barely even respond to a tag (i understand they get tagged a lot) send a courtesy message apologizing for not being able to respond! Fix the filters, auto-delete multi-day old questions, actually PAY ATTENTION to the community they are supposed to be moderating. As well as the Ambassadors chosen need to be more mature. Not all are immature but a lot are.

Answer 3

Close down groups that no one visits. Like HippoCampus Religion. Nobody goes there anymore why is it needed?

Answer 4

Immature ambassadors ? :/

Answer 5

Not you @AravindG i am talking about a handful of them. I don't know you too well so you are not included in the "immature" group

Answer 6

Thanks ..But on what basis do you categorize them as immature ?Can you give an example?

Answer 7

In a message i will.

Answer 8

ok :)

Answer 9

And I have to point about something on "not being able to message mods" .Firstly note that most of them are users with high smartscore .Believe me if you have a large enough smartscore 90+ you will get tonnes of messages like "help me please ", "can u help in bio ?". or a set of questions itself as message .Even many users tag you evrywhere so that you become confused .Thats the reason they make restrictions on messaging option.So that wouldnt be nice to tell some mods are terrible just because they dont accept messages. you can always use the report abuse button .It notifies all mods about the problem.

Answer 10

I was not referring to them being terrible because of the messages...i meant Admins though. Most of the admins on this site could really careless (if they do care they have a weird way of proving it)

Answer 11

Now whats with the admins?

Answer 12

Admins and engineering team are supposed to be fixing this site. Instead they close the site a few times a day instead of sitting down and actually fixing it.
Admins are supposed to fully moderate this site, you are supposed to be able to figure out who they are. When the admins rarely help with the site and leave it to the mods a site dies, crashes and burns.

Answer 13

I have watched countless sites die because of the admins not doing their part

Answer 14

They do indeed. The admins are labelled as Mods when they should be labelled as admins.

Answer 15

Chillax @dumbsearch2 lol

Answer 16

@dumbsearch2 I hope you are not going to post your "paragraph " here lols

Answer 17

lol

Answer 18

lol...back on topic...the admins really need to be more pro-active

Answer 19

not reactive where they only respond when they are needed

Answer 20

^ @AravindG and @dumbsearch2 ^

Answer 21

Hey @KeganMoore I've got news. Openstudy is launching a new partner today. It is a community college offering a MOOC. Hopefully we will be having new admins soon :)

Answer 22

Finally!

Answer 23

;)

Answer 24

This site is definitely in need of new admins.

Answer 25

i agree :/

Answer 26

I agree with this whole post, sadly I think it will stay this way for a while. I also don't really think getting a new partner is going to change the community. We need new ACTIVE moderators & Admin. As for Ambassadors I do agree there is a handful that do not do their task AT ALL.

Answer 27

A new partner means we are getting new admins soon .Which also means that we will have changes soon after the site get stabilized .As for the moderators ,we have a good set of active moderators for now .

Answer 28

Than they should do their task a little more. The site the past week or 2 has been....well, not good.

Answer 29

I mean no disrespect.

Answer 30

I'm just a OS User that has been here very long and I am getting upset by seeing it crumble little by little. OpenStudy use to be a GREAT place to come to, now its almost like coming to Facebook. Almost always more drama than there is joy.

Answer 31

Do you mean to indirectly say that you need to be made a moderator?

Answer 32

No?? That... doesn't even come closely to applying to this situation?? Jesus not you to Aravind -.-

Answer 33

Well I was just dubious ....well the past week didnt have much problems from my point of view .

Answer 34

As for any month ,we will have a set of spammers/code of conduct violaters here. But with introduction of the latest set of mods I see that there is more action being taken.

Answer 35

Still I fully support the idea of more moderators ..More mods means better moderation means a better place .

Answer 36

Not always. More mods can just mean more mods. If they aren't active it will be just the same. They have to step up and take control.

Answer 37

yep I agree ,"Active mods " is the right word

Answer 38

yesshhh

Answer 39
