What about we have the ability to see who gave medals? I am always wondering who gave who a medal and whenever I ask someone if they could give so and so a medal, they say "I did...". So how about that?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

You can. On your profile page.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

"Medals recieved"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On someone elses thread.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

That would be problematic...let me get an example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean i give a person a medal, I ask if someone else that helped can give one.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

How would the person see the 80+ people that gave him medals? A drop-down menu would be haywire...

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Plus, os is about helping others and getting help, not all about the medals...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm, it doesnt have to be long, like "Load More" would be nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And also, everyone asks for medals, its the only way to know if someone is good enough to help you, like for instance, your title, Trusted Helper, Lets people know that you can be very helpful.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

That's not true. Those with lower ss just haven't been on os long enough.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I don't reply to posts that have "Medal+Fan".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, but they gain medals, and then they get the title, riight?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Well titles don't mean anything. I don't help out in math but random users tag me all the time and I never reply...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I don't either

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

So...titles aren't crucial into knowing that you're helpful... XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude, you are making thiis difficult.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

It's not a bad idea, but this site doesn't want to promote that, it wants to promote studying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if they wanted to promote studying why do they even have them

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

It just shows that you have helped people longer. Even replying to a post increases smartscore, you don't need a medal to increase it immediately.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why the heck did you give me a medal then, what did you JUST say?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Like I said, it isn't a bad idea, but I just wanted to list the cons...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>_>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its a good idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude Dashie I swwear.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

It only shows 2 people, out of how many ever medals were given. I have gotten 80+ medals in one post, but people will only know the last 2 people who medalled me. This would be helpful to catch medal spammers becuase you will only be able to see 2 of their medal spamming accounts while the rest slither by and won't get banned for being a medal spam account :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hol up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sooo, is that a pro or con

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Pro

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Keyword: helpful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, whale, we just need a mod here and grant it xD

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Admins xD

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Nah, even if a mod likes it, won't happin. Got to be an admin. Very few of them around here these days <.< >.>

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

happen*

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Well @thomaster oversees the suggestion part of os, so maybe he can look at it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My bad, lets let an ADMIN see is >.> <.<

OpenStudy (samanthagreer):

yes i have always wanted tio make a post about this it would be like facebook you see weho liked a post but in this case who gave a medal in a post

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude @EclipsedStar i never said anything about you being annoying. And That wasn't me! I need to hide my password from a sibling iif you know what I mean xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm still your fan.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (confluxepic):
