Question

We need to edit COC a little.

Answer 1

we ned to add that giving links to OS or answer yahho, or any sites where this question is asleardy asked is prohibited. because askers just scool down and look for answer. in my opinion this also counts as direct answer to give such links.

Answer 2

Also. i finnaly reached teamennate.

Answer 3

Congrats.

Answer 4

thx

Answer 5

giving links isn't not banned
some yahoo answers can be used as reference - not necessarily all answers can be stolen from it :P the only rule about "direct answers" is for the purpose of letting and making sure all askers understand *how* do to their question, if that means including an outside link to clarify something - links are perfectly allowed :)

sure, there are times when links do give out the answer, and we should avoid those
but there is no need to take it all the way into the Coc because of all such loopholes

if that makes sense...

Answer 6

wait my grammar has failed me
*giving links is not something that is banned

Answer 7

well eclipced star for example aslo thinks it is a direct answer, cause yahoo gives answers same thing

Answer 8

so maybe yeah

Answer 9

like personally, if I am trying to help someone, I might link a very similar yahoo answers answer as reference to show the steps process and help the user through the same process but with different numbers

Answer 10

nope I don't agree.sorry :/

Answer 11

I use those in case I don't know the answer, so they can refer to that link and read over to get their answers.

You approve of giving links that have the asker's answer on the bottom of the page?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

most of them explain anyway @EclipsedStar

Answer 15

Yes, but the person can just skip over the explanation and not learn.

Answer 16

Which is a direct answer.

Answer 17

okay, and that would be their fault!! there is no need to put this in the coc. That would be another reason for users to not join. It is not that bad so I disagree 100%.

Answer 18

I think we should just stick to our simple rules we have now :)

Answer 19

Yeah, I agree that putting that in the CoC isn't necessary, but the fact that giving links that have the answer on the bottom doesn't seem right.

Answer 20

well, as long as the user doesn't say a direct answer, my judgment would be to just aviod those links if you agree to this post :/

Answer 21

puting it in coc @EclipsedStar will give you a reason that it is against the rules to do it. remmebr you were asking how to prove these people that this is a direct answer? same

Answer 22

I'd think it would be considered a direct answer DEPENDING ON WHAT THE LINK SAYS

Answer 23

^
Not all links give direct answers.

Answer 24

So it isn't necessary to make a rule that no links whatsoever are allowed,

Answer 25

butw in all links there is a answer in the bottom of page

Answer 26

No, I give wiki links all the time.

Answer 27

I gave a link from where the asker was able to get their answer - sue me :P http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5525a899e4b0bdcc62fee684
