Question

I have a NEW suggestion for OS... Might be what OS is looking for.

Answer 1

***DRUMROLL***

Answer 2

Since users use profanity allot and we have filters that auto correct profanity words to some other random words. Why dont we put a sensor with those filters so when someone uses profanity and the filters catch it, it automatically reports it and puts it in the mod report bin.

Answer 3

What if you are asking a question about a person and all that. You keep on saying their name, you keep on getting reported for that, and then baboom you are community suspended for saying Ex:(Charles wingspanens) too many times

Answer 4

I know some websites that the word doesn't even show up. I'm not sure if OS has this or not. But this is a great Idea.

Answer 5

But that's true, too, Sammi.

Answer 6

hmm well then @sammixboo #1 no user is suppose to have profanity in their username #2 Mods always give warnings first then the suspension.

Answer 7

Nope, with so many reports you can be automatically suspended

Answer 8

If there was some sort of misunderstanding then that person can email abuse@openstudy.com

Answer 9

I am not talking about the username either. I am talking about an actual person named that

Answer 10

Happens pretty often xD

Answer 11

Oh sorry I misunderstood ur comment

Answer 12

Well when we report someone, it automatically sends the complete comment your reported to the mod report bin. If it's in a post its extremely easy for a mod to see what was posted and mods usually take the time to look at what was reported.

Answer 13

Seems like a good idea. The admins just have to add the last names onto the whitelist.

Answer 14

Let's say someone makes a post asking about Charles Dicckens. You are obviously going to say the name multiple times since you are going to be talking about him. So if you say Charles Dicckens 5 times, that means you get automatically reported 5 times, which means boom! community suspension!

Answer 15

Ever notice how ambassador isn't filtered.

Answer 16

@sleepyjess like I said mods will get the report and if its in a post its much easier to decide in which way you used it.

Answer 17

But the person will still get community suspended

Answer 18

._. Im not talking about a community suspension.... my suggestion is for the profanity filter to have a sensor and that sensor will automatically report the user using profanity (not suspend them).

Answer 19

But if a user gets so many reports in a short period of time, they are automatically community suspended.

Answer 20

Too many abuse reports can suspend a user. Unless you want them to change that part. @just_one_last_goodbye

Answer 21

._. Well #1 they were spamming #2 they were using profanity #3 i dont know about you but when I signed up for OS I agreed to obey within the boarders of the OS CoC.

Answer 22

You wouldn't be spamming if you're using someone's name though. Like @sleepyjess 's example with Charles Dicckens.

Answer 23

If you ask a question about Charles Dicckens, #1 how are you spamming? #2 they are asking about a person, not using profanity. #3 everybody agrees to the CoC and TaC, but asking about a person, such as Charles Dicckens, is not against the CoC

Answer 24

If I say John Hanwingspan and I get an automatic abuse report that doesn't mean that I violated the code of conduct.

Answer 25

^^^^

Answer 26

Or shrimp Wingspantail

Answer 27

Right

Answer 28

/.\ people I said mods will look into the abuse report. Also community suspensions take more than 20 reports. Dont tell me your going to put a name using profanity more than 20 times before a mod can look into it.

Answer 29

No, community suspensions are only 5 reports.

Answer 30

really? because when I use to be in the OSSF we would all report and the user kept doing whatever he/she wanted.

Answer 31

Only takes 5 reports, yup

Answer 32

20 reports is absurd

Answer 33

my suggestion

Answer 34

so...

Answer 35

Answer 36
