Question

new users/(same person but different account) are abusing the report by spamming on other users and got them suspended for no reason

Answer 1

maybe if we could set the requirements for reporting other users, only users that have at least 40+ smartscore are entitled for reporting, what do you think?

Answer 2

and mod needs better tools :P @amistre64 @Preetha

Answer 3

Do people get automatically suspended when an x amount of people send a report abuse?
In that case i think it's a good idea to prevent this problem :)

Answer 4

I agree...That seems to be a big problem that needs to be fixed

Answer 5

@thomaster yes it does

Answer 6

@.Sam. Perhaps you should close this question and talk to Preetha directly .This information might provoke the spammers who didnt know of it .Just my opinion.

Answer 7

The spammers doesn't know there is 'Openstudy Feedback' ;) and I wanted amistre and maybe other mods to look at this as well

Answer 8

@thomaster after three different people report the same person, that person would recieve a community ban.
@.Sam. I agree. This is getting out of hand, very fast.

Answer 9

In order to report someone, your account has to have 50 SmartScore and be registered with OpenStudy for +7 days.

Also - mods have good tools. I mean, you don't have the IP Check, which kind of sucks. I think you should get the IP Check tool so you can locate these spammers. :D

Answer 10

@android 3 is not the number

Answer 11

yep, this is really a problem, they call them "community suspensions"...
I think I agree with the 50+ SmartScore idea.

Answer 12

Mod does have IP Check

Answer 13

@AravindG, yes, it is, Preetha has confirmed it.

Answer 14

Mods don't have IP check. Admins have IP check. Unless the controls have changed since last time I talked to ShadowFiend.

The picture below are the controls an admin has (or at least, had).

Answer 15

I've been on mod's account so I know they do

Answer 16

lol...what does the 'kick' button do?

Answer 17

that kick you off the group , it is fun keep kicking people out just when they reenter

Answer 18

oh...thats kinda funny

Answer 19

ITT: We all pretend to be mods.

Hey - I was on a mod account, too! Actually, Preetha gave me her information and let me ban people for fun. ^^)

Answer 20

Answer 21

one of the reason why they don't let me be a mod anymore

Answer 22

Being a mod is fun :) I love playing makebeleive!
