Question

Just few OS suggestions:
1.) Perhaps there should be a way to delete your OS account if you no longer want to use Openstudy.
2.)There should be a way to search for users; idk it seems as if it may be useful

What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Yep, I agree.
I had actually suggested all of these before haha :)
They're a lot more things too which I would have added, which I had suggested in the hackathon post @JA1 made some times back.

Answer 2

ah i see OS does have quite a bit of room for improvement.

Do any of your ideas involve how to deal with trolls @dumbsearch2 ?

Answer 3

Yep.
In my site, dumbchat, there is an automatic system that if the user spams much too much, they get warned and not able to spam. Automatically, but it's presented as if it's triggered by a moderator. Also if anyone uses profanities, they also get warned. And a moderator could always suspend them.

I recommend a similar system for OpenStudy, in fact I could always share the code that I use, even though its in PHP contrary to what OpenStudy uses as its primary language (Scala).

Answer 4

ah i love your site its fantastic

Answer 5

:) Thanks @Jamierox4ev3r

Answer 6

nooo thank you :DD You have done great work here on OS and on other domains :D

Answer 7

This reinforces my idea to just re-make OS all over again <_<
