Question

Think we should put a note on the sign up page stating that usernames with profanity,spam, sexuality or anything not appropriate is against the CoC and will lead to consequences. Also profile pics with inappropriate activity such as nudes, sexual content or profanity.

Answer 1

They should already know this because when they sign up they have agreed to have read the CoC so if they get in trouble it is there loss. They should know that. Besides that is common sense. Why go on a study site to harass kids?

Answer 2

Does it say it specifically?

Answer 3

Don't be offensive, inappropriate, or creepy! So avoid:
Insulting, berating, or otherwise discouraging others.
Cursing and bypassing the language filters.
Sexual innuendo, or "hitting on people".
Soliciting personal, private, or offline contact information.
Any form of racism, sexism, or any other prejudicial "isms".

Keep in mind that OpenStudy is an open, transparent system where everyone can see all your posts, chats, comments, questions and answers. So OpenStudy documents your greatness and your helpfulness. If on the other hand you do not follow our code or post inappropriate content that is creepy, rude, or violates your school's Honor Code, it is also openly viewable. We care about you. So our advice is to be nice and honest.

Answer 12

People dont have more than one email .-. and dont have time to be making a new account ._. we should just put it in the CoC or a sticky note next to the sign up page.

Answer 13

So there wouldn't be an "excuse".

Answer 14

That is common sense it is already stated in the CoC, it should never be an excuse like i said u agreed to it when u signed up there should not be a problem with that however they should make the CoC t&c more obvious...

Answer 15

Put it somewhere it can be seen

Answer 16

Also it would be very nice if you put quotation marks next to the text that you copy and past since it's not your words ^_^

Answer 17

thats why i put links under it

Usually the new users are ok...the ones that are not following and are striking the dating conversations are old users.

Answer 19

Then the new users follow the examples of the old ones. That's what gets them in trouble.

Answer 20

This user is new and is it his fault that his username is spam? http://prntscr.com/75xuz9

Answer 21

Thats an old user

Answer 22

LOL That's an alt. How do I know? I know the main.

Answer 23

Its not spam :) anywho i do not think OS needs to do this it is already in the CoC and the T&C if users dont want to read it then they suffer OS should not need hand feed people.

Answer 24

Anyways Whats OS's goal to make OS a safer community ^_^ how do we expect users not to break the CoC if we dont remind them and the rules are in this stupid little hidden link at the bottom of the page.

Answer 25

.o. finally a man of wisdom @perl please explain tell me your opinion

Answer 26

Reading the CoC is their job. Choosing to follow it is also up to them. Once they break it, they suffer. We do not need to make it big and bold just for people to listen. They need to take responsibility

Answer 27

Sounds like a good idea. Or something to the extent that, we reserve the right to ban for inappropriate names/profile pics.

Answer 28

.-. we are all humans... obviously we act to be beyond clumsy and forgetful like some people in this post but I do admit im not perfect and i do forget ._. so how do we expect to follow the rules if we forget?

Answer 29

@perl you can already do that .-.

Answer 30

You can ban users. @just_one_last_goodbye even if it is obvious u think people will read it?

Answer 31

I swear over my life the only reason Pooja goes against me is to bother me .-. I can understand 1 topic but EVERY single suggestion I make its the same thing. It's getting quiet annoying.

Answer 32

I am stating the facts i am not against you.

Answer 33

Well yes I do ^_^ If users can read ads on the web and since OS offers advertisement c:

Answer 34

Ad's are pics people enjoy pics people hate reading words (teens)

Answer 35

Maybe like a cartoon or something would be great =)

Answer 36

Why offer advertisement if no one is going to read? #1 im sure OS doesn't do it for free #2 thats stealing if they know no one will read it.

Answer 37

ya lets make a animated ad post saying dont be a troll ^_^ or something that would be great

Answer 38

ok well maybe we can both work on it =) and i know @confluxepic is good at animations too :D and then maybe we can show preetha!

I like the idea. It will remind some users. *cough cough XD*
Just saying though, that it wouldn't look too good from parents and adults that come visit the site to see though. They may see it negatively.
