I think that sometimes several people help in a way in a question but the person can't give them both. OS should make giving medals not just 1 and it would be awesome if we could.

Question

anonymous · Answer

I sometimes get good help not just from 1 person but several but have to decide on 1.

sammixboo · Answer

This has been requested many times.

I think having the ability to medal more than one person on a post is also an easier way to medal spam.

sammixboo · Answer

I heard lot's of pro's and con's of this idea. I would send you a link to a post, but that post was posted a few months ago.

confluxepic · Answer

This has been suggested before and there was a vote thing.

anonymous · Answer

MEDAL PARTY is one issue :p

anonymous · Answer

There should be a limitation that can be put, I think.

anonymous · Answer

Yes possibly a vote

anonymous · Answer

limitations like what?

anonymous · Answer

People get too addicted to having medals, I've learned over time to not give care to them as much and they will just come, just teach and learn and if both you as the learner or teacher get something out of the question that's way more important than a medal. :)

anonymous · Answer

So this idea has been brought up several times! Wow.

anonymous · Answer

That is true but I see it as a way to reward or show the appreciation to the person

anonymous · Answer

By limitation like I don't know 2 or 3 medals?

confluxepic · Answer

Your response was the best. @iambatman

thesmartone · Answer

@inkyvoyd Would know a lot about this.. Very big advocate about it :P

anonymous · Answer

That is so true @iambatman

anonymous · Answer

Thanks :)

confluxepic · Answer

I suggested something like first best response then second best response and third best response.

confluxepic · Answer

You're welcome.

anonymous · Answer

He made a great point but a lot of people actually care and want them. That is sometimes the reason they help but of course that should not be their motivation.

anonymous · Answer

@confluxepic that's a great idea.

confluxepic · Answer

Thanks.

anonymous · Answer

I guess there is a lot in thinking about this, pros and cons.

anonymous · Answer

Everything is very hard to decide.

anonymous · Answer

I would give a medal to you @confluxepic but I can only give one... sorry XD

anonymous · Answer

1 medal is already enough for medal partying, tell me more about 2-3 medals xD

anonymous · Answer

at least I tried.

anonymous · Answer

But I guess this will not happen anytime soon

thesmartone · Answer

^^^

anonymous · Answer

oh sorry i did not close it, someone beat me to it

confluxepic · Answer

It's ok if you can't give me a medal. @KayleeNeedsHelp Don't worry. I don't want one.

anonymous · Answer

I don't know but the idea of more medals still is running in my head.

anonymous · Answer

what is your thought on this, sammi?

confluxepic · Answer

How did @sammixboo magically come online without me getting a notification. Another glitch. Or just a lack of attention.

anonymous · Answer

a question, who is pretha, sorry I spelt it wrong

anonymous · Answer

the head of OS?

confluxepic · Answer

Preetha is the CEO of OpenStudy.

anonymous · Answer

Oh, ok, that clears things up.

sammixboo · Answer

Let's say you have 4 people who helped you

User Zebra, User Alligator, User Dog, and User Cat

They all where very helpful. You can give a medal to User Zebra, the you can ask User Zebra to medal User Alligator, and then User Alligator  to Medal User Dog, and User Dog to give a Medal to User Cat. Everyone gets a medal :)

sammixboo · Answer

Conflux I was viewing this the whole time

anonymous · Answer

yeah she was, not adding in the convo much but she was here

confluxepic · Answer

Oh. Ok Sammixboo.

sammixboo · Answer

Must be your side. Sometimes users show offline, but they are online, and when it shows online again, you won't get a notification, because that user has been online

At least I know you fanned me. I feel special <3

confluxepic · Answer

Yeah. This is the only way you can find out. Instead of digging through 1000 fans. :D

anonymous · Answer

Everyone should fan you, I have and I pretty much always see you on

anonymous · Answer

I know right! @confluxepic

confluxepic · Answer

Yep.

anonymous · Answer

Going to sleep, bye!

anonymous · Answer

zzz..

confluxepic · Answer

That's probably what @sleepyhead314 would do.
