Question

Is there a nicer way say: " Stop giving direct answers?" Or just a more " Do not ignore this" way? A user was giving direct answers today, so I told (him,her) that it was against the CoC. The user ignored me. When I warned (him, her) again, the user started to become mean at me. I got really annoyed...

Answer 1

That is common, I get that all the time.

Answer 2

Yeah, but I never got it :(

Answer 3

I try to be respectful, but the feelings aren't mutual.

Answer 4

But I was polite when I told the user...But he her started becoming mean..

Answer 5

I get told off alot when I tell somebody not to give direct answers and I'm just like o.o

Answer 6

just simple please dont give direct anwsers it is agianst the CoC and link the CoC http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

Answer 7

That's a good idea

Answer 8

Its very common. Just Show them the COC, and try alerting them. If they get aggressive, try to explain yourself. All else fails, report them.

Answer 9

Whenever you tell someone-even nicely-not to do something, they will most likely get defensive of themselves and start being rude or mean. There's really nothing you can do about that. We just have to report the DA and move on.

Answer 10

Yeah someone said," WHAT THE H*** U STUPID PPL QUIT SAYIN THAT". IM LIKE O.o OKAY DEN

Answer 11

It depends I guess. Some users listen the first time they're told. Others are stone-headed and it takes a mod's action to get them to listen.

Answer 12

So true^

Answer 13

Then there are some users who don't listen at all.

Answer 14

but i love direct answers and so do people in tests

Answer 15

OS \(cannot\) help on test.

Answer 16

But they don't help you learn anything. Which is why they aren't allowed on OS.

Answer 17

Tests arent allowed -_-

Answer 18

@mathsciencehistory please read the CoC for more info. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

Answer 19

well i actually ask first if they want to be taught or just want direct

Answer 20

@mathsciencehistory Its alright that you do but that's not what OS is for. Its for helping studying. If you want direct answers you can go elsewhere.

Answer 21

Yeah, go to Yahoo Answers and some other cheat site. OS is for users that \(want\) to learn. :)

Answer 22

if i met some people face to face on here wooo id be so happy

Answer 23

@EclipsedStar Amen! :D

Answer 24

The user gave a direct answer straight away in one of the questions, then I started telling him her,' no direct answers'..The person 'shhh' ed me and gave me an ' :P '

Answer 25

www.brainly.com is for you. @mathsciencehistory

Answer 26

LOL

Answer 27

Brainly??? Most of the kids that answer those questions are brain dead...

Answer 28

mathway

Answer 29

Not only does direct answers affect the learning process and not help you learn anything, it also affects your work ethic. Like if someone just keeps giving you answers, you're not going to WANT to learn anything anymore, you'll just become lazy and just want the answers.

Answer 30

is the best site i know

Answer 31

LOL ikr @|Bravely|Mysterious|

Answer 32

@lordhelix8th Why do you bring this up here?

Answer 33

Lol @Great_And_Powerful! You just tagged a person :D lol

Answer 34

lol

Answer 35

lml

Answer 36

lol you people are funny most of the kids that sign up here just want answers that was my originally reason for signing up

Answer 37

This is common. If you want direct answers, get your hands and feet and body off of OS and go to the mall, brainly, Yahoo Answers, Mathway, Wolphramalpha and I can keep it listing. A nicer way: "Please stop giving Direct Answers for it will result in a suspension from a moderator. Trust me! It's not pretty!"

Answer 38

MSH you are spamming da question -_-

Answer 39

so you're a kid, @mathsciencehistory?

Answer 40

IKR

Answer 41

When you signed up, you had to read the CoC, TaC, and PP. I guess many users don't.

Answer 42

I did

Answer 43

@mathsciencehistory True as it may be, that's not what this site is for. Its for studying. Its called Open Study for a reason. :)

Answer 44

but then people got all mad im over here like 0.0

Answer 45

Anyways, I'm going to close this post

Answer 46

Thanks, @RainbowBrony555

Answer 47

^

Answer 48

LOL, now everyone on this post is on the 'closed questions' side

Answer 49

ok but people are so uptight over this subject if someone gives direct answers let them if the person wants to be taught teach em

As for your original question about DA's, hopefully that post should explain a little more.

Answer 51

But that is against the COC. And not the point of the site.

Answer 52

ok rules can be broken especially the oh so worshiped coc

Answer 53

http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/53d28796e4b081ba963b19d3

Answer 54

That should clarify the unclear.

Answer 55

Rules are broken, that's life for you. But the mods are here to help us keep in the OS borders.

Answer 56

Nicely said :)

Answer 57

MSH the rules are not made to be broken. If that was so then they would put any rules nilly willy. But the rules are here to keep the site in order.

Answer 58

@lordhelix8th how will you get through college if you DO NOT LIKE TO READ? Epic Fail. Big Time.

Answer 59

im just saying over 90$ of people do not like to read the coc

Answer 60

srry %

Answer 61

ive never read it never will idc about it

Answer 62

The CoC is placed for a reason. It's a rule book. Schools have rules, governments do too. Rules are there for a reason. Can you imagine a society without rules?

Answer 63

but still anyway im not saying borders shouldnt be kept im saying why do they and you care sooo much over pointless stuff such as direct answers if someones giving/reciaving them let them

Answer 64

Hha! @lordhelix8th I was just throwing that out there. No need to be sorry;)

Answer 65

I clearly understood what you were talking about.

Answer 66

receiving**

Answer 67

Rules are going to be broken. It just happens. That doesn't make it right. We have the mods to help keep us WITHIN the rules.

Answer 68

That's what I was saying.

Answer 69

bye gona change to another lordhelix pic.

Answer 70

yea i get it theres alot of rules that are needed but some are just uneccary if its not hurting anything it doesnt matter who doesnt like it

Answer 71

I shouldn't have replied, these notifications are annoying... e_e

Answer 72
