Question

Suggestion. There should be an option in OpenStudy for a signature and to prevent explicit signatures I would understand if the moderators would have to approve the ones uploaded.

Answer 1

???

Answer 2

This website isn't like some adobe reader where you can add signatures, etc. :P

Answer 3

i dont like this idea, no purpose for it

Answer 4

new openstudy monkey

Answer 5

Too much extra work for the mods as well.

Answer 6

@Proxy You forgot the part where you explain the purpose of this feature...
You mean like a forum signature?

Answer 7

I was also questioning the meaning of "explicit signatures"...

Answer 8

Profanity, Vulgarity, Nude Content etc.

Answer 9

there is no purpose for signatures. for what they are going to be used?

Answer 10

#1, I don't get what this signature is

what official document are we signing?

Answer 11

@TheSmartOne None, I think he is asking if we can have those forum signatures.

Answer 12

Where they put gifs and philosophical statements in.

Answer 13

ohhhhhhhh

Answer 14

Personally, I'd think it would be kinda cool, and fun.

Answer 15

Yeah, great example! ^

Answer 16

Ehh...would be work for the mods indeed if there are inappropriate ones

Answer 17

I agree with @YoungStudier

Answer 18

What good comes out of it?

Answer 19

Plus that is kinda social-media related tbh...but then we have the "follow" function...so idk... >_>

Answer 20

making signatures is making a new openstudy monkey

Answer 21

If we create a "rank" of mod, where he/she looks over the site, looking for explicit content.

Answer 22

Won't it take up extra space?

Answer 23

Yeah, probably. XD

Answer 24

But I think it would make more lag..idk

Answer 25

Plus I imagine users hunting for signatures instead of studying, lol!

Answer 26

more monkeys, more lag, more space,

Answer 27

It probably depends on what the signature is. If they put a gif in there, of course it would make things more laggy, but If they just put text in... it will hardly do anything.

Answer 28

Openstudy is a studying site, not a insurance agency

Answer 29

I think this site has enough issues already. No use in making something else at a time like this.

Answer 30

More additions come with more issues. We don't need more issues.

Answer 31

it would add more work for moderators

and moderators barely take care of reports as it is

lets not add more stuff that moderators cannot handle :)

Answer 32

but then that could be a subscriber function, I'm generalizing here but I bet people that pay wouldn't go out of their way to make inappropriate signatures

Answer 33

^ great idea :)

Answer 34

Agreed.

Answer 35

:)

Answer 36

I think the main issue here is that it will clutter up the site and will make load time even slower and longer. There's really no point to this, this is a studying website. not a social forum.

Answer 37

What if it was a Subscriber feature?

Answer 38

Because honestly I think becoming a subscriber should include more features. That wouldn't be too much for the mods I don't suppose either because submissions would only be coming from Subscribers.

Answer 39

These are the type of Signatures I'm talking about http://s18.postimg.org/tox6rkeh5/Proxy_Open_Study_Sig.png

Answer 40

the subscriber feature is the paying 10$ a month to get:

Choose your own "title" that appears by your username in study groups.
A diamond SmartScore indicator that signifies your sponsorship.
Surf OpenStudy without external advertisements.

Answer 41

but for what it will be used?

Answer 42

just another way to force people to give medals? or what?

Answer 43

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 I think it's just a cool feature that could add personalization to users.

Answer 44

or, where will this unusable feature apper?

Answer 45

new feature personalisation to users is adding a new monkey to opesntudy

Answer 46

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 Under subscription features :D

Answer 47

openstudy is already too heavy, has extremely number of lag

Answer 48

ok, but for what it will be used?

Answer 49

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 Hmm, if some users liked that feature they'd subscribe. If OpenStudy got money from subscriptions they can increase their bandwidth.

Answer 50

Did Proxy answer or question correctly?
if so please give a medal.


is this a way to earn medals?

Answer 51

this is an absolutely useless function

Answer 52

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 Really, you could put anything in there.

Answer 53

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 Point is why are you so against it? Is it going to change your day to day life? Is it going to affect your state of mind? If you're so against it then don't waste your time replying.

Answer 54

if i will not protest, openstudy might make a new ussless function which will slower the speed of OS working. ok now we will add signatures, then we will add fireworks button, then we will make a candy icon, then we will start making doodles.

Openstudy will convert from studying site to fun site.

Answer 56

awful idea

Answer 57

no no no no, NO NO annnnnnd NO
This is a bad idea in every sense of the expression, nice feature, but in the end way to much potential for abuse

and thats from the king of adding features ._.

Answer 58

horrible idea from computer exept

Answer 59

C'mon guys is not that bad. If it was a subscription feature then it would most likely not be abused. About the lag, I don't see how a little signature would create lag (given that no images would be allowed).

There's no need to completely burn this idea down...
Though I also do not see a feature like this being implemented anytime soon since there's no real added functionality, just aesthetic value.

It cant create lag, it certainly wont help, but it wont create anymore... and subscription feature.... hmmmmmm Im going to get started on this soon, this is now near the top of my todo list...

Answer 61

@Jaynator495 So my idea wasn't completely horrible eh?
