Question

Recently I don't know if people have noticed this but there have been numerous amounts of attempts trying to vandalize the site at times mods aren't available what should we do?People reply to it continuously it gets annoying too.

Answer 1

Yes, I have seen that recently also, It's getting on my nerve.

Answer 2

community ban

Answer 3

It usually happens when mods are afk.

Answer 4

right but the post will remain still

Answer 5

That's the thing...

Answer 6

lol i need a mods opinion on this though xD im guessing they would say report n ignore

Answer 7

Oh ok

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

repost abuse for them

Answer 10

like i said the post would still be there though with people responding to it causing chaos

Answer 11

You won't get stupid notifications if you don't comment on the stupid thread.

Answer 12

@kohai its not a topic to play with sometimes things get too serious that people would intervene :P

Answer 13

Yes, this happens sometimes, it's unfortunate some people just come on to start drama...they are looking for attention, and soon as you give them it, you're just adding to the fire, it might sound a little redundant but, that is the best thing you can do, report and ignore, as kohai mentioned, if you comment in the thread then you'll get the notifications. Soon as people make these threads, a lot of people join it, if more people ignored it, then I'm pretty sure there won't be many of these sorts of threads. But, if you think it's really excessive and nobody on can help, you can try and email: abuse@openstudy.com, but I'm not sure how far that will get you. So I suggest, once again as everyone mentioned; report and ignore.

Answer 14

Well, okay then. Honestly, I still like the idea of a community ban though.

Answer 15

I agree with @kohai

Answer 16

@EclipsedStar Yes, that happens when enough people report the person!

Answer 17

@iambatman thanks for clearing that just curious is there a way we can get rid of a question with enough reports on it?

Answer 18

I mean someone will eventually reply to the post and the whole OS is eventually on it just a thought though i think automatic deletes would be awesome if its got enough reports on it , its automatically deleted :)

Answer 19

That could be used to someone else's advantage c: It's a splendid idea

Answer 20

is that supposed to be sarcasm because i mean community bans can be used to someones advantage too :P

Answer 21

But also, it probably won't happen. OS doesn't deal with the issues it already has, adding another feature that isn't already on their little agenda just won't happen

Answer 22

Yeah. They ARE used to people's advantage. IE: Hey, you and four other people and me don't like this person, let's get them community banned.

Answer 23

its just a suggestion and maybe it can happen one day ^_^ u never know and see so either way you lose its why something should be done about this people posting porn is not appropriate thats what iv'e seen today

Answer 24

Only had the porn-posting experience once and they were prompty permabanned

Answer 25

This person was community banned and its bothers me because ive been on this site for 2 years and havent seen anything like this yeah once in a while but not continuously like this

Answer 26

I'm saying how I feel just like you said how you felt.

Answer 27

what about telling a ambassador if no mods online?

Answer 28

Ambies have no real powers @KaylaIsBae

Answer 29

this post wasnt meant to express your feelings and be rude

Answer 30

i know that my sister is one, but they learn to handle situations better i guess

Answer 31

they can :) they are awesome at handling situations like that but even when they try the person still goes on

Answer 32

sometimes
my opinion is that if there no mods online then contact a ambassador to deal with the situation then dealing with it yourself

Answer 33

i do it all the time :)

Answer 34

or contact them to calm it down

Answer 35

you were once a ambassador, right

Answer 36

They're good at resolving issues I agree, but they have no power to close threads or suspend people for poor behavior

Answer 37

Become an ambi then @pooja195 XD

Answer 38

It doesn't matter. I'm telling you how I feel.

Answer 39

ik that

Answer 40

but ive seen ambassadors (my sister) convince people to edit their posts so it doesn't draw more attention if a user sees it in the closed/open section if the user hasn't been community banned yet

Answer 41

They can edit posts, not comments....

Answer 42

ik

Answer 43

if the post is a spam is what im talking about

Answer 44

ok im sticking with batmans idea and going with it report ignore if its out of hand then get an ambi to take care of it

Answer 45

Yup, me too.

Answer 46

anyways night yall
sam is coming on soon @sammixboo she's helping around the house

Answer 47
