Question

what is spamming on open study look like?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Spamming is when you do any one of the following:
\(\bullet\) Posting a question multiple times within a short period of time.
\(\bullet\) Posting a question that is off topic for a particular group (i.e. posting a \(\bullet\) physics question in the Mathematics group).
\(\bullet\) Posting a reply that is not relevant to the topic of discussion within that question.
\(\bullet\) Posting questions that are not, in fact, questions (for example, starting a question in the Mathematics group to wish someone "Happy Birthday").
\(\bullet\) Sending the same chat message repeatedly.
\(\bullet\) Filing false abuse reports on a user repeatedly.

Answer 2
