 Owlbucks is a new feature coming to OS which allows you to get immediate help from a Qualified helper. Owlbucks are purchased from OS and can be used for buying shirts and accessories . Its cool if you ask me. :)

Um um um Should I be using my article I wrote? I guess Be aware of questi's Are you ready to be introduced to our new Owlbucks and Qualified Helper program? I think so! The Owlbucks are coming out the same time the QH (Qualified Helper) program is coming out, which is going to be in the beginning of February, so stay tooned! What is Owlbucks, you ask? Well, Owlbucks will be a system to where you can use money to purchase things on OpenStudy, such as t-shirts, Qualified Helpers, and OpenStudy transcripts. Costing around $5, you can also get OwlBucks to pay for a Qualified Helper to help with your question! The QH program is a nifty program to where you can pay Owlbucks to get a QH to help with your question. If you want expert help, and fast, this is the way to go! You would still be able to get free help though, so let’s not forget about that. How do you become a Qualified Helper? Well, you need to apply! Apply here, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14chWa...s/viewform If you are deciding to be a qualified helper, you must have one title, a SmartScore of 80 or above, and no suspensions, but if you have proven to a mod you are a better user now that is acceptable. You also need to be able to send an ID in, sign an agreement, go through a selective and interview process, fo through a training, and at least be on for 2 hours a day. Yes, Qualified Helpers do get rewards for their help. These rewards are 50% the OwlBucks of each question they helped with. Over time, this percent will get lower due to other rewards. Other rewards as in cash outs, gift cards, and more, but for now the OwlBucks will be the only award. Let’s go through how this QH program will work. A user will type his, or her, question and as the user is typing their question, a button ‘Ask a Qualified Helper’, will appear also with a little description of the QH program. If the user decided to ask a Qualified Helper, a special background will appear on their question to flag that this is a question for Qualified Helpers. After the user has asked a question, a notification will be sent to all the Qualified Helpers in the subject he, or she, is asking in. Lastly, the QH will answer the question, then the asker is asked to rate the Qualified Helper who helped on their question. That’s all!
