Question

This is a rant.


Before any of you start getting all excited and hyped-up; I am online through an iPhone so no matter how hard I try.. It won't let me switch over to the FeedBack Section, hence the reason I am writing this in Mathematics Section. So please forgive me do the "Oh so horrid crime" of writing this in the Math section...



I logged in to find 49 notifications cause some newb decided that it would be a "such awesome idea" of tagging the world population in a question.
May I offer you the idea of only letting people post a certain amount of questions in a certain amount of

Answer 1

Suggested years ago, nothing done about it. Take it for what it's worth.

Answer 2

ha i woke up with 63 notifications :/ and all from 12 different newbs abusing the SmartScore

Answer 3

lmfao poor jessikaaa.

Answer 4

This actually has been suggested, and there have been some steps taken to minimize this in the past. Unfortunately, nothing will be fool-proof. It would be nice if you could report the person who did spam-tag you though.

Answer 5

It's by time something is done cause this is getting ridiculous .

Answer 6

I don't even know what type of moron has the time of tagging the world population in a question

Answer 7

Until something is implemented to slow this down (which probably won't be too soon), the best course of action is just to hit the "report abuse" button.

Answer 8

this is not even cool tho, how are people discovering how to abuse the smartscore?! 'Tis not right -.-

Answer 9

George the same way the can easily be suspended is the same as they can easily make a new account

Answer 10

They*

Answer 11

I know. But there isn't a better way for us to fight it right now.

Answer 12

I guess. But I hope something more effecting comes along in the future. Soon.

Answer 13

Effective *

Answer 14

Called Yahoo. I thought twas some spam.

Answer 15

i totally agree with you @love_jessika15 ; something has to be done about the trollers on here in general...

Answer 16

Easier said than done. The most annoying trolls are usually the most difficult to deal with. And if they're persistent and skilled, they could get past almost anything that is put up to stop them.

Answer 17

@KingGeorge Could use like a filter or something. I've created something similar in the past.
Could give you guys the source code.

Answer 18

hmmm a valid point and you're totally right unfortunately. THere is this particular troll I've been tracking for a while and he has been observed speaking profanities, talking PG-13+, abusing smartscore by tagging an abundance of people, and creating multiple accounts after being suspended.

Answer 19

so... point is that @KingGeorge , you are absolutely right

Answer 20

Either way, you might want to limit enforce proper verification on accounts. Some people use multiple accounts to make their work faster. I noted 3 today.
@Hero Shall we?

Answer 21

Don't get me wrong, I would really like to see these features implemented as well, but I'm afraid that they won't be happening very soon.

Answer 22

OS is pretty amazing, but there always is room for improvement

Answer 23

Let's be honest, this site kinds sucks sometimes (no heat). More can be done and I know it's all about funding, but some of us here can help out. Dumbsearch and some other guys are good coders.

Answer 24

Notification spam?
I've actually never run into this problem.. weird.


Must just be the pretty ladies getting tagged :) lolol

Answer 25

lol :P perhaps you are right, but this also happens to spike the engagement sector of the smartscore, so not necessarily @zepdrix .....

Answer 26

@zepdrix Nobody likes you.
