Question

Open Study should make a filter that if a question is 1 month or older it should be automatically closed.

Answer 1

Also i would like a request for more control on users and chat

Answer 2

just making it aware

Answer 3

There are some useful questions though. I, for example, have one question in a section of calc1, where I store notes. I do think though, that mods should take some time to go through the questions and close the un-useful ones.

Answer 4

#stitchsupports

Answer 5

yes but in the closed section im not saying delete it im saying like some users forget to close the question after they are done

Answer 6

Moderators will go through and clean out sections, the administration can completely wipe out month old questions and older that aren't answered really quickly.

Answer 7

no offense, but that is not going to happen.

Answer 8

ya and then put a filter so you guys dont have to worry about it

Answer 9

Old questions really aren't a huge bother, no one will go back to just randomly answer them so there's not a huge point to go through the hassle of closing each one.

Answer 10

ya but it uses up memory

Answer 11

maybe its the reason for lag

Answer 12

There is no difference in the memory used between closed vs. open questions.

Answer 13

OpenStudy has an average of 3000 new users a day, often there's more. Lags are usually when there are far too many users on os at once.

Answer 14

ya but what if the question is not answered?

Answer 15

Then it's not answered, no big deal.

Answer 16

just wasting space

Answer 17

ok then answer my second complaint

Answer 18

please mam and sir

Answer 19

so proper cx
mam and sir

Answer 20

everyone knows that chats are out of control at some times -.- and dont tell me know and dont think im here to fight just suggesting like the subjects called OS feedback im giving feedback

Answer 21

LOL XD @Stitch_

Answer 22

u cray girl

Answer 23

Working on the chat situations. You alone can do your part and remind users of the rules. Sometimes reminding users of consequences when breaking rules will get them to stop. If they don't, all you can do is report it. Just make sure you write which chat the issue is going on in.

Answer 24

cray? nah ^_^
i hate the spammers and trolls in chat ;.;

Answer 25

I do but they dont care some times ur own *cough* team members join their little parties

Answer 26

agreed ^^

Answer 27

moderators and high people always join in when i see it.
im like /.\ ughhh no fair.
cause everyone is gonna listen to them

Answer 28

If you see an Ambassador disobeying the rules, report them. We don't need trouble to continuously go on. Ambassadors are supposed to represent OpenStudy in a good way, not fall in to trolls hands.

Answer 29

becca who are you and why does everyone say im you ;.;

Answer 30

since i cant message you...

Answer 31

O_O u fan them and then they will decide to allow u or not

Answer 32

If you feel like the chats are getting out of hand, whether by spammers, trolls, or just angry people swearing, the best response is to simply report it, and then ignore it. And I mean completely ignore it. Don't acknowledge their presence at all.

If you seen anyone breaking the rules, PLEASE report them. Even if it's a moderator, you can report them (although for moderators it's probably better to directly email the OS admins at abuse@openstudy.com).

Answer 33

hmmm -.- that sound more reliable

Answer 34

but not what this question is about KG

Answer 35

im not asking what to do when i see it im just letting mods be aware of the situation and how my opinion might be the same as others that might see it the same way

Answer 36

A lot of people are asking for requests on more help in the chats. Moderators don't have the time to sit there and babysit every chat, they have threads and users to watch after as well. As for trying to make them better, it's a work in process.

Answer 37

Alright, the original question.

I don't think it's a good idea. I don't see any real benefit from it, and there are some disadvantages. For example, there are helpful posts with tutorials or ground rules that are consistently bumped, and closing them every month would actually increase the amount of stuff the website has to store.

Answer 38

i understand that so why cant OS have special users that can suspend only users in chat? idk about ur states but in Florida we have police that control the skies, highway patrols and mounted patrols

Answer 39

thats why os should assign certain mods to certain things.
and if they dont have enough mods get more...

Answer 40

Assigning moderators to certain things or sections would be a terrible idea. What if all those users had not come on for weeks at a time? It would be hectic. It's best for it to be a combined system where they all have the notices of reports and so on together.

Answer 41

but that wont happen... as said before os has over 3k new users daily

Answer 42

if it was a horrible idea how come my city is still standing as the best city in Florida -.-

Answer 43

While different mods aren't assigned to moderate different things, we each focus on one area more. As for myself, for example, I usually prefer to watch the chats and check on users trying to evade suspension. Others, like amistre, usually focus more on finding cheaters.

Answer 44

Real life is kind of different to online life.. Can't compare it.

Answer 45

florida team c:

Answer 46

that would be one cool idea only it has a problem , what makes OS special than other learning site is the active system , i might have an answer but i dnt understand it so i post to understand , thats why the Qn should be open even if it has been exist before

Answer 47

We have been discussing the idea of special chat moderators months ago. This idea will most likely be implemented in the future.

Answer 48

O.o wish i can give this very smart man right here a medal ^
