Question

Why isn't my smart score increasing when I get medals?

Answer 1

have you been suspended before?

Answer 2

It takes a while for your smart score to increase, and experience.

Answer 3

Well, think of ss like a video game. The harder the level, the harder it gets.

Answer 4

What EclipsedStar said, lol.

Answer 5

No never been suspended I dont think.

Answer 6

At the beginning it skyrocketed up but now ive been stuck at 59 for forever

Answer 7

is that normal

Answer 8

yea thats normal the high the level you get the harder it gets to increase ss

Answer 9

Every little thing you do on OpenStudy can increase your smartscore. It's how well you do these things to increase it. There's no fast easy way to increase it. It takes times.

For the problem solving portion, you must answer questions not only in detail, but guiding the user to understanding the problem. Giving direct answers is not only not allowed, but it doesn't even help the user understand anything. Plus, direct answers don't increase your smartscore as fast as answering in detail would.

Teamwork! One thing people consider to be somewhat hard to do. By gaining fans as well as fanning users, you are then increasing your smartscore even more! The more fans you earn, the higher you go. But be aware that creating accounts to fan yourself doesn't increase your smartscore by much. Also, it's not allowed and could lead to your main account being suspended forever. You best bet would be to enter chats, as well as help out a lot.

Lastly we have engagement. Here is the fun part, when you ask questions you're increasing your smartscore! Isn't that cool? You can increase your smartscore just by making threads you need help on! Not to mention the amount of medals you earn and give out can help increase it faster! But keep in mind, spamming yourself with medals isn't allowed on here and will not increase your smartscore fast at all. Another thing about engagement is that the longer you're on here, the higher your smartscore goes too! It's as if almost everything on here will increase your smartscore. It can be fun and I hope you find it very fun too. I hope you have the best time on OpenStudy and good luck with the journey on here. c:

Well then, you were reported by other users. Mods don't come to a post unless the "Report Abuse" tool is used by others or mods just want to help on a post.

Answer 20

Answer 24

There must be a lot of mods....does it show if they are mods or not?

Answer 25

Answer 30

every person has like a reporter follwing them writing down everything the do on os and someone looks over that and judges it

Answer 31

Answer 32

Oh he answered my math question!!! Lol btw is anyone good at math

Answer 33

Saifoo xD

Answer 34

it says only 3 are viewing but i count 7

Answer 35

Yeah the template overlaps, that's why the numbers "viewing" are off.

Answer 36

thats the best way i could explain it but its true
everything you do gets taken down and someone a physical person looks it over

Answer 37

it keeps changing

Answer 38

No, that only happens of you are reported @sethRB26DETT

Answer 39

no it happens everytime you reply to a question thats how they know how "engaged" you are or if your using "teamwork"

Answer 40

thats creepy as mess @sethRB26DETT lol thats like were all in the book the maze (and isnt tracking folks illegal)

Answer 41

@nothingwasthesame its not tracking its keeping tabs and no its not illegal

Answer 42

okay im lost lol

Answer 43

not tracking lets say stalking

Answer 44

That is not true Seth. The system is wired that way, from the post buttons and logs. Even medaling others can increase your Teamwork SubScore lol

Answer 45

@nothingwasthesame still not stalking your using there website they know everything

Answer 46

@EclipsedStar your not getting what i am saying so im just gonna stop

Answer 47

everything? lol

Answer 48

The people don't "give" points to users.

Answer 49

@chosenmatt everything that you do on there website yes

Answer 50

Why would they oversee that? There are hundreds of users that log on every single day.

Answer 51

@EclipsedStar the people read the longevity or depth of your explination and based on that they tell the machine if you are using engagment or not

Answer 52

i mean cyber hacking when you track folks is illegal and not everything folks cuss like a sailor they aint been caught not once and there are too many of us

Answer 53

That is not true.

Answer 54

@sethRB26DETT where are u getting this info?

Answer 55

Engagement is the hardest SubScore to raise, if you never noticed...

Answer 56

i have

Answer 57

@EclipsedStar how would you even know do you work for them? no.
All websites work exactly the same facebook, os, any of them they all have physical people running them its not auto cyber ran

Answer 58

This isn't a social media site. How do I know? I observe new users and how their ss skyrocket by certain actions they take.

Answer 59

and engagment is fairly easy to raise if you know how the system works (as i do)

Answer 60

its operated just like a social media site

Answer 61

topics on openstudy change so fast....

Answer 62

How so? The devs are always very busy. They don't have time to look over hundreds of users and decide whether to "raise their ss".

Answer 63

because i can read code and its coded exactly the same as a social media

Answer 64

Oh, cut that. There are thousands of users on os.

Answer 65

Inspect Element? It's same for almost every website out there that isn't private.

Answer 66

you make my head hurt im leaving now, some will just never understand

Answer 67

Ok, have a great day. It was nice talking to you! :)

Answer 68

Oh and @Melissa_Something I'm sorry for arguing so much on your post. XD

Answer 69

All good no feelings!
