Question

I think Openstudy needs to make more awareness about bullying because I see it happening so many times but reporting them is just not enough because they continue to do it people need to be more mature

Answer 1

Yes, I agree. But I think that's the best that could be done. You can do you community suspension(get 3 others or 2 others to report with you and the user will be suspended)

Answer 2

Would be nice but not much people can do it's the internet moderators can't do much just suspend and ban them but people just come back a repeat it as long as theres internet theres bullying

Answer 3

Exactly they should do and i.p ban or something i tagged a mod in a place where ther was bullying the mod did nothing the person continued to do it

Answer 4

A person a couple months ago was i.p banned from i want to say thomaster and he always found a way around it doesn't do much when people know how to work around it

Answer 5

Pooja, you should report any such activity (must), reporting brings the matter into the attention of every online mod and also helps in preserving official records. If that doesn't help, you can pm a mod and ask them politely for help.

Answer 6

I have reported people and i have tagged mods but dont seem to help i know the mod has talked to the person but the person keeps doing it i just think more people need to be aware

Answer 7

About the IP ban,

It's like using a nuke for killing a single person. IP ban can disable everyone's account associated with that particular IP address. So it is not used too often, used only in cases of extremity. Also mods don't have the power to IP ban someone only Admins can do that.

Answer 8

Most moderators are really busy and can't go to that thread theres a couple that show up late and some that don't show up at all thats where i think more moderators are needed for the site but Ambassadors are on too I see some regulary on I think they can send warnings @YanaSidlinskiy may know

Answer 9

What about mail banning someone for a week? People like that once they see that they're banned they'll log off and probably won't log back on.

Answer 10

Chat and mail banning them

Answer 11

ok @Abhisar i know ip ban isn't used much for those reasons but mods just need to be around more i guess

Answer 12

Moderators don't do anything when OS has a glitch or is experiencing some technical issues.

Answer 13

That is the ONLY time I'm sure they won't do anything. You think they don't; but honestly they try their best to make the site better for the community!!

Answer 14

There is a small group of openstudiers called as OSSF, they work in a synchronised manner under the guidance of mods to control trolls and spammers. They take the advantage of community suspensions.
