Answer 15

Although I do have to say real quick, Nasa, please make sure you give reasons why it is a specific answer as direct answers are against the rules

Answer 16

It is?

Answer 17

I thought it was ok so many people just give answers

Answer 18

Yes. It's because a lot of people go against that rule lol. It doesn't help anyone though, which is why the rules go against that

Answer 19

If openstudy really cared if people gave direct answers then 75% of this websites users would be banned

Answer 20

Still, you shouldn't break that rule anyways. In fact, I've seen some people ask questions and receive medals because they actually wanted to learn the material. Especially since there are a lot of people who want to help instead of just giving someone the answer with no explanation

Answer 21

I am not saying i disagree with you... i am just saying that people are gonna give direct answers and you cant stop that. Now i believe you shouldn't give direct answers either

If you get banned can you still see/lookup answers but you can't post and answer right?
