Question

New Suggestion!!! Can OS make a Birthday section and also I have noticed users are using profanity in other languages can we make filters for those.

Answer 1

I know about the profanity in different languages cause im Hispanic and I see people taking advantage that way... by cursing in different languages like French, creole, African, etc.

Answer 2

Some of these things are used in the history section

Answer 3

This is a English-based site. We can't do much about it.

Answer 4

Im suggesting a Birthday sections because OpenStudy Feedback really isn't designed for that... Its for feedback not for birthday posts or congrats to someone that got a high smart score maybe instead of a birthday section they.

Answer 5

could name it something else*

Answer 6

This is tbh a study site, not a "Happy Birthday" site, lol.

Answer 7

#FREEMEDALS!!! :D

Answer 8

@EclipsedStar The U.S. isn't made up of just native americans... its 98% population speak different languages like your Chinese, @pooja195 is from India, Im from El Salvador and Cuba... so users do understand what people say in different languages..

Answer 9

pagal

Answer 10

-_- not a big deal

Answer 11

Well many users don't. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of os speaks english. So I don't see how os is generally affected.

Answer 12

You can also use Google translate if there is someone who speaks a different language.

Answer 13

I do speak english but half of the time i don't know what the heck these americans are saying xD

Answer 14

Sorry if I sounded argumentative and harsh, but I just wanted to voice my opinions.

Answer 15

@EclipsedStar I know we speak english so how did we sign up? but i mean people use profanity in a different languages so they dont get banned and the filters dont get it

Answer 16

Yes, but most users don't even know that it's profanity in the first place...

Answer 17

All I hear from the Birthday section is spam

Answer 18

This birthday subject, can have a no medalling option, and these posts will not show up as questions asked and anything posted there, does not affect your SS. That would be an ideal birthday subject.

Answer 19

But this post could become another dead subject, or it could become one of the most active considering that there are 365 days, and we have thousands of users many people will have the same birthday.

Answer 20

But this type of subject could also lead to spam posts... hmm

Answer 21

Yes, I can imagine the spam amount already.
