Question

We need to revise the Code of Conduct...

Answer 1

If people don't like OS they should just leave.

Answer 2

And also that just posting the work and answer is also considered as a direct answer.

Answer 3

Because all that the CoC says about this is
Don’t post only answers - guide the asker to a solution.
So you can just post all the steps and you are ok?

Answer 4

So what are you trying to say.

Answer 5

@TheSmartOne

Answer 6

By giving them the steps and the answer are we complying with this
Don't provide someone with just the answer - explain the process, and help guide them through understanding the problem.
They are not going to understand it if they get the steps and answer..

Answer 7

@TheSmartOne No, you cannot, I had a long discussion with a lot of Moderators.

And yes, I did point out that the Code of Conduct says to 'not JUST give the answer'.

Answer 8

We already discussed this and IT IS AGAINST THE CODE OF CONDUCT TO USE STEPS AND STILL GIVE THE ANSWER.

Answer 9

And mods suspend/warn if we even explain...

Answer 10

explain meaning just giving steps and showing what to do to arrive at the answer..

Answer 11

Answer 12

I was just reading the CoC again and I came to realize this issue..

Answer 13

Yeah I remember that post @iGreen

Answer 14

Then why are you making a new one?

Answer 15

Because he did not know about your post.

Answer 16

It needs to be constantly reminded to mods and @Preetha and that ^^

Answer 17

Giving out the steps and then the answer at the end is the exact same as giving out the answer, but explaining each step and letting the user solve their problem with our help is not giving out answers

Answer 18

Like this is showing steps and giving answer

Asker :
solve x + 6 = 9

Other User :
x + 6 = 9
x + 6 - 6 = 9 - 6
x + 0 = 9 - 6
x = 3

Answer 19

No point in showing the steps if the Asker is just going to grab that answer

Answer 20

what was the thing I would tell people?
oh here:
"a note for future reference as a fellow helper: sometimes it's best to simply give an explanation and let the person try to find the answer themselves, otherwise they could simply glance at your comment, find the answer they were looking for, thank you, and not even read the explanation you worked so hard to type out :)"

sure the CoC doesn't say it directly, but to get someone to do what you want. like not giving the fulls steps and answer, would be to just ask them nicely for now

Answer 21

@*louisa* you need to read this you just give people answers

Answer 22

So who gives a crap @TheAsker2002

Answer 23

they dont want anyone to do it so this whole post @*louisa*

Answer 24

Idc stop tagging me in this s.hit

Answer 25

and now your cussing...

Answer 26

your doing ti things you should not in c.o.c

Answer 27

Leave me alone .-.

Answer 28

We have some more important problems then revising the code which is fine (for now at least).

Answer 29

Really. You are trying to bypass the filters. @*louisa*
@amistre64 told me that people are not allowed to do that.

Answer 30

Question marks instead of some symbols
The posting button that is hiding, (with a temporary solution of Tab+Enter)
The disconnections ("Oh Snap!")

well these are on my mind, but many people can for sure list more and more problems,

Answer 31

And yes, bypassing the filters is inappropriate, because they are (obviously) for a reason.

Answer 32

I have to go, bye:)

Answer 33

yes well not all of user follow coc even some 99 user
they give explanation but at the end answer too
so mostly they don't care about explanation and just
grab the answer
but i think we should explain and let them solve the problem
its ok if they'll make mistake but i'm pretty sure that's mistake gonna remind them to do right process :)

Answer 34

^^ ikr

Answer 35

@Preetha ... Any thoughts?

Answer 36

for some reason I have a feeling @e.mccormick would have more to say about this topic

Answer 37

I can tell you almost word for word what Preetha would say.

Yes, doing all the work in a detailed answer is not good. However, this is a learning opportunity. It is a chance for you to work with the person that is answering too much. Help them see how letting the asker do some of the work is a teaching tool.

Also, if we suspended every person that gave answers, even detailed ones, then we would have no users at all.


How do I know? Cause she sent something pretty close to that in an email when I complained about a very particular user that gives out a ton of detailed answers.

Answer 38

OS filter does not allow the word wingspan. I said unp.rickly and it didn't allow it. It doesn't allow that word, but it cannot find curses with periods in between.

Answer 39

Yes, and there are names that get messed up too. They need a white list before the bad word list.

Answer 40

oops the wingspan is supposed to be p.Rick

Answer 41

Just stop @GreenCat ...

Answer 42

@abhisar so you start using your power haaan

Answer 43

Yes he has.. lol

Answer 44

i was about to give him/her informational answer but... 0.o

Answer 45

@Nnesha I told him that I would be honored if he gave me the first suspension. So he gave me a 1 minute suspension.

Answer 46

jk..

Answer 47

one minute ???? :P

Answer 48

I was kidding...

Answer 49

I probably would be honored lol

Answer 50

@TheSmartOne you need to earn it :P

Answer 51

:D

Answer 52

Why don't we objectively look at the rules, one-by-one, and decide what our problem(s) is/are?

Answer 53

btw @Nnesha If you were talking about me, I'm a boy.

Answer 54

Also, what should I stop? @TheSmartOne

Answer 55

I seriously don't know. If I spammed without knowing, plz tell me. ;~;

Answer 56

Your "this word becomes this" It doesn't work lol

Answer 57

ohh no @greencat i was not talking about you thats other person

Answer 58

"oops the wingspan is supposed to be p.Rick"
^ the "wingspan" was purposeful. >:D

Answer 59

I always say purposeful... I meant intentional.

Answer 60

Well, I did not mean that one. I was talking about the signers of out constitution. There are also Japanese mushrooms you can't properly post about on here.


In the annoying things people do list: multiple choice. Sadly, a huge volume of these are test questions and there is no easy way to tell which are or are not. Many schools subscribe to the same exact test banks so a homework question at one place can be a test question at another. Also, the really lazy ones use the same bank for both homework and tests! So the same questions pop up on both for multiple reasons.

People could do their own work they learned concepts and examples.

Answer 61

word *if* they... that is.
