Question

Suggestion: A last seen online for offline users. It can show the time they were last seen. I hope it doesn't sound too stalker-ish. xD

Answer 1

This makes it look like your a stalker

Answer 2

xD i dont find a point in this

Answer 3

I just thought it might be nice to have.... But I guess there isn't really a point in it... :/

Answer 4

I'd have millions of stalkers by now if we had this on OpenStudy. And trust me! When I say millions, I mean it. I definitely disagree with this. Sorry.

Answer 5

It's okay. Besides, it's not really an important thing, sot if it were agreed, it probably wouldn't be happening anytime soon....

Answer 6

This has been suggested before, and the consensus was it would give a lot of people a lot of stalkers

Answer 7

i would hate this ;-; i'd be drenched with notifications :(

Answer 8

But, as I said before, it could just show how many minutes/hours ago a person was seen online. Also, how could you get drenched with notifications by this?

Answer 9

But it's a great idea for some stalkers though!

Answer 10

A stalker is a person who stealthily hunts or pursues an animal or another person or a person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention.

I don't understand how this suggestion could create "stalkers". Please enlighten me.

Answer 11

Because people would wait for you to come on and then keep track of the times u come on at

Answer 12

i think its creepy

Answer 13

Look deeply into it. Deeper meaning is what it is.

Answer 14

It's not like you're giving someone your address or phone number. We already have "online" and "offline" statuses, which are basically the same thing as showing the last time someone was on...

Answer 15

This is over the NET! Over the NET is the most dangerous thing!

Answer 16

I'm still not sure what you mean...

Answer 17

I know and ambassador that has had problems with "REAL STALKER" activity over the NET.

Answer 18

Kidrah has explained it above.

Answer 19

Well, when I thought of the idea, I just meant to know when my friends were last online, or if they even came on today. I wasn't thinking of stalkers...

Answer 20

"friends" ? random strangers on the net?

Answer 21

I see what you mean, but still. You never know what type of people are over the NET.

Answer 22

How can you stalk someone with the last time they were on a website? I can see that you posted a reply "a minute ago" how can I stalk you with that information? I'm not suggesting that OS should implement a "last seen" feature, but I don't think you should be throwing around the word "stalker" so loosely. :)

Answer 23

Ok, my question for this suggestion is: How will this feature improve OpenStudy as a whole?

Answer 25

._. It doesn't. @EclipsedStar

Answer 26

Oh well. Let's just pretend the idea was never suggested, :P

Answer 27

Yes, @kidrah69 I've already shared the definition of a stalker. :)

Anyway, I don't believe that this feature would improve OS in any way, I just don't think you need to be using the term "stalker" :)

Answer 28

This has been asked before, and some people don't want others to know they have come on. Like old users come on to check to see how stuff are going, and want to come on and go offline peacefully. So, I doubt this would be implemented.

Answer 32

That's a much better explanation for why this feature wouldn't be added. Claiming people would get "stalkers" is pretty harsh. :) Thanks @EclipsedStar :)

Answer 33

I just quoted from my buddy TSO....but no problem. xD

Answer 34

Amen, Haleluja, this is NOT getting implemented!

Answer 35

I'm glad you're so happy about that! lol :) @YanaSidlinskiy

Answer 36

!:) I'm glad to see that you somewhat have an understanding of what I'm going through right now!

Answer 37

Hey, you could edit your settings to show it to certain people, and not just everyone.

Answer 38

Thanks for contributing and thinking of ideas for os though @BlossomCake ! ^_^

Answer 39

Just saying! But I understand everyone's points.

Answer 40

Answer 41

Yes, please quote me. (:
