Question

what was the purpose for openstudy to be a learning site? and why some people don't use it the right way and why the cuss? also i like openstudy but people need to use it correctly

Answer 1

The purpose, in short, is to make a safe place on the internet for studying and tutoring.

As for why people cuss on a study site, I would have to go into origins and trends in antisocial behavior. It takes about 3 classes to get the basics down.

Answer 2

ok could you make a new rule of conduct

Answer 3

i think this site would be better if the words people write are nice polite and not nasty

Answer 4

There is no need for anew rule. It is already one.

Answer 5

There already is that rule c:

You can check out all the rules here:

Answer 6

If you look at the top of the code Cam linked, the first code there: be nice.

We do suspend people for failing to do so. Even in chat. Even the users that contribute a lot of proper tutoring on the site have fallen afoul of that rule and been suspended.

Answer 7

yes i know but it not being reinforce
i like this site a lot this is were kid and parents get help so if you can take that to mind in the feature that would be great

Answer 8

We enforce it as much as we can. We do not have the ability to be everywhere at once, so a lot of violations are not seen by moderators. On top of that, many people fail to report it when they see people being nasty.

Answer 9

It is being enforced by people like @tkhunny but then everyone hates him for that...

Answer 10

Man there is like 10 people viewing this question...

Answer 11

can you have undercover people like you guys do it

Answer 12

Everone went off @tkhunny for giving suspensions..

Answer 13

ask the boss
this would make the site a better place to be on and parents won't get mad and kid's will learn manners

Answer 14

if you know what i mean

Answer 15

I agree..

Answer 16

micahm, what you are saying makes no sense. You are saying we need to make a rule that already exists and enforce it even though we already are. Doing what is already being done will not cause a change.

What would be needed is a better way to detect and block the hackers that contribute to the problem. If you have the code experience to do that, I am sure they would happily take some suggestions o how to do so.

Answer 17

there is a couple of people on that i am not going to name that are hackers

Answer 18

ok when a person sign up for openstudy what do you ask them?

Answer 19

I am not surewhy you are asking that. You signed up. You saw what was asked. So...

Answer 20

add more question to that and also
as you all have a staff meeting right so when you have all you staff meeting review or make rerecords of all the people on openstudy ...

Answer 21

also i have been telling people on this site that you need to follow the rules and they listen so maybe each mouth have a check up with the staff or your boss

Answer 22

clean + people = respect x nasty = zero people on site but if you hold a meeting secretly more people will pure and like this site

Answer 23

You misunderstand what moderators are. We do not work for OpenStudy. We are just volunteers that help keep it clean. The actual staff element of OpenStudy is pretty small. It is not a high dollar site that makes tons off of auctions or sales. It is an underfunded educational project.

Answer 24

You notice that people have to agree to the terms of conditions and the code of conduct before applying for an OpenStudy account.
We expect people to honor that word, but sometimes people do not.
And moderators catch what they can and reinforce the rules they see broken. There are users out there who help us do that by using the report button and we thank you guys for that.
Also I see someone brought up @tkhunny. @tkhunny is a moderator and has a right to enforce the rules when she/he sees them broken. It doesn't matter if she/he is seen as more strict or is more strict than some. The point is if you break a rule don't expect nothing to happen. Moderators do sometimes act different so if I were a rule breaker I should go ahead and expect the worse for my troubling behavior on OpenStudy.

Answer 25

Answer 35

@myininaya . I brought up @tkhunny up becasue he enforces the rules to make OS better but then everyone hates him for doing that. I do not agree that @tkhunny is mean. I believe he is doing his job well. When you have some sort of authority not everyone loves it.
