Question

[BIG OS suggestion!]
Before you read this, no i'm not crazy...
I have a good reason behind this, and believe it will help!







Imagine if me and thesmartone where mods! WOW os would be clean...
we would abuse our power yes...
but hell os would be cleaner then ever xD...
This is why I suggest this,
it will hopefully greatly improve OS by getting rid of the clutter in the open questions for those who are actually looking to help others...
(before i continue this, im in no way saying I should be a mod i aknoledge i would be a bad moderator, but maybe with close/bump/kick powers, we ambassadors could actually clean up OS!)


We would delete all inapropriate/spam posts,
we would close all answered posts... etc etc...
But there is a legal issue,
but instead of making us mods causing this issue...
How about Jr.Ambassadors (ambassadors still in training),
Ambassadors (amassadors finished training given only the kick power,and must not abuse it to get the next rank.),
Senior Ambassador (the next tier, they should gain the warn, and close/bump/kick powers, and must REQUEST to delete something, can see mod logs)





The next tiers should be for mods,
This will all be logged,and checked to make sure that mods arent abusing anything.
This will allow for trial runs on some new mods that should or should not be moderator.
If they do poorly, give em the boot, and if they do good, give em a upgrade!

Jr. Moderator
they should have the warn and close/bump/kick powers, and must REQUEST to delete something
Then the moderator,
they should have the warn and close/bump/delete/suspend/kick powers (current moderator powers).
Senior Moderator:
Gain the ability to BAN, should only be given to the most dedicated moderators who have prooved themself.
Supreme Moderator:
Gain the ability to IPBAN (and mac-address, though that one will be a LOT harder to accomplish, but its not totally impossible), should only be given to the most dedicated moderators who have prooved themself.
would be very useful in some instances, but should only be reserved for the worst of trolls.

------------
+Information+
------------
If you want to know why the version log is jumpy, that is because some updates do not get published through beta and go to alpha first, and quite a few fixes are made before its actually published to beta.
Some updates go straight to beta, but this ONLY happens on online updates.

This extension was made by Jaynator495.
Scripts used in this was made by the following OpenStudy users in order of most contributed,
Jaynator495,
Wio.

this extension will allow you to try the OpenStudy projects I'm working on, and leave feedback on what you think about it.
How to gain access to my beta team? simple, for now its going to be open.
(note: this has nothing to do with what might be in a later OpenStudy update if there's a update you don't like leave a comment on this post of which i can remove the issue.)
this extension will add assorted features and bug fixes to be released into the extensions still in the works.

For things that would generally require access to the server, it can be accomplished without access to the server due to the way OpenStudy handles requests/posts I cant tell you any more because this can be very abused. I'm just pointing this out before people start saying that some of the features i listed are "impossible" because it would need access to the server.

Answer 1

OMG

Answer 2

What?

Answer 3

that what i said when i realized when i found out i lost over 20 active users in the last 10 days ;-;

Answer 4

anywho i finally got around to reposting this xD

Answer 5

*

Answer 6

I don't think I am doing this again :)

Answer 7

Bruh... if i hack you again to prove to you my extension had nothing to do with this, will you stop being silly? x'D

Answer 8

\(\style{font-size:100px;font-weight:normal;}{\huge\sf VOTE}\)
DO you want a off topic section, Yes or no?

Answer 9

@Jaynator What's with the question? Advertisement about your extension? LOL

Answer 10

NO.

Answer 11

NO. chats already there to chat... i don't want to see *dead chat*

Answer 12

^

Answer 13

well, why do we need an off-topic section? it will make more lag and might teach people that you can post anything in any subject.

Answer 14

Why is there a need for Off-Topic? This is a study site. Off-Topic would be like the exact opposite wouldn't it?

Answer 15

No, off-topic would allow for assorted off-topic questions to be put, attracting attention, and also would be a place for question that don't necessarily fit in any of the current subjects, or that current subject is dead.

Answer 16

I kinda would see if there was like a garbage can for whenever somebody puts spam in any of the sections a mod can put it in there. But this isn't Facebook or any social media meant for anything "Off-Topic" at all. As Nnesha said, we already have chat.

Answer 17

guess i should have ellaborated more, but i was short on time, here ill just change this back to the original topic...

Answer 18

Sorry bout' that, just making sure that it worked what i was doing x'D

Answer 19

I do not get it. ;-;

Answer 20

If you make an off-topic subject just for users of your extention, you must also make me a moderator of that subject :P

Answer 21

Is the extension even safe? (To make sure I'm not getting it. XD)

Answer 22

it is safe.

Answer 23

#TRUSTNOBODY

Answer 24

Answer 34

http://prntscr.com/95tpoe
http://prntscr.com/95tpri

owlcoffee asked if i was postulating myself as a mod xD

Answer 35

Let's clear this issue up once and for all.
Jay did hacking in the past agreed. It was wrong. However let me make this clear. If Jay wanted to hack other users he could have. He doesn't need people using the extension just to hack. Also people are lucky they had one of their accounts hacked I had 3 of mines hacked 2 of which i barely use. he hacked my pooja account it was wrong but am i holding a grudge against? NO that means you all should get over it. Jay is doing many good things for openstudy and I encourage you all to get his extension. I use the extension and im 100% satisfied with it.

Answer 36

+1

Answer 37

+1000

Answer 38

That took me a while to read all that...I'm getting pretty used to the lengths of Jay's posts by now...not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Now back to a question that's nagging me. Which suggestion exactly am I directed to since you tagged me? Big idea or extension advertisement? :P

Answer 39

Big idea =P

Answer 40

big idea xD

Answer 41

twas originally a extension post :P

Answer 42

Well here goes my thoughts (since the majority of mods have gone inactive and only the ambis kept the peace somewhat a few weeks back, I've agreed on small powers).

Just a couple of opinionated issues.
∙ Too many ranks.
~ Labeling someone as "junior ambi" wouldn't feel so good for some, they will feel as if they are the "lowest ranking" which could cause social dissatisfaction.
∙ For the mod check system. Upgrading a user just because of good acts could potentially not last.
~ We all are humans (hopefully) and thus we all make emotional responses one way or another at times. That could lead to even more problems if someone has a top rank of sorts. There are young mods, and if they get the top tier responsibility just because of good past history...not good.

Other than those, I have no other objections and agree. I do understand that there are new moderators out there that are currently showing activeness, but there are more online ambis than mods at times and we should be able to help others abide by the rules and improvise when there aren't any mods online.

Answer 43

ill post my comments as i read them

Answer 44

Junior ambi, this is just to indicate that a ambassador is going through training, after training someone is directed to ambassador.

Answer 45

i never said all the conditions on that part (after mod check system)

Answer 46

Given that ambi training is just a month, it's no biggie for a user to wait for an A then...lol

"This will allow for trial runs on some new mods that should or should not be moderator.
If they do poorly, give em the boot, and if they do good, give em a upgrade!"

I noticed the lacking of conditions, but I only assumed that there be a "test" of sorts. After one has experience, etc. Anyways, I don't have much objections to begin with :P

Answer 47

XD

Answer 48

I guess you got me there, also maybe no kick for ambassadors... hmm... yea kick really doesnt do anything xD

Answer 49

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
Actually scratch that, it does make a good trust test!

Answer 50

How so?

Answer 51

They don't abuse it tada, i'd probably sit there spam kicking pooja from mathematics xD

Answer 52

On another note, should I just release a unofficial OS app? Cause this is just ridiculous how long it's taking to get this thing approved

Answer 53

Knowing you.. You already hacked me like 28193456 times -.- without me knowing.

Answer 54

Just popping in to say that an off-topic/recreation section has been suggested for over 3 years but the closest thing we have are those you-know-what sections.

Answer 55

But yeah, so have Jr. Ambi powers. Long time suggestion, and it's actually being considered a little at the moment. I doubt it will happen so soon but maybe it will happen.

Answer 56

Only once... the other time you let me in to fix my spam at you ._.

Answer 57

._.

Answer 58

alot of people that need the most help need to be able to take a break and ask an off topi9c question

Answer 59

it might help if someone in charge saw this :/ @Preetha

Answer 60

lel this has been suggested years ago
Not that it's a bad suggestion though, it's a very good one

Answer 61

i thought so :P

Answer 62

and preetha finally agrees XD... we had a convo about this in the meeting thomaster, i brought it up unless im mistaking, and about 8 months to a year ago i made a post about this, but i finally got it all together for a good suggestion xD

Answer 63

Can't find the original post for this anymore. I remember putting a list of a new rank system and the powers that come with them. At least the ambi with group-mod rights should be tested in my opinion. Just kick, and closing/deleting posts for a selected group of ambassadors.

The rest of the list as far as I remember:
1 regular users and ambassadors
2 chat moderator (only powers to delete posts and issue temporal chat-mutes)
3 group moderator (mod specific for a group, only kick, close and delete + chat)
4 junior moderator (global mod with group moderator rights)
5 global moderator (same as current mods)
6 administrator

This makes it way easier to make new moderators and make them rank up when they're doing a good job. When they're not, no big deal as they can't do much damage at that stage yet.

Answer 64

I like :)

but guess what?

It probably won't ever happen. ;-;

Answer 65

newwp

Answer 66

I will make it happen >:3

Answer 67

@Jaynator495 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Answer 68

CHALLENGE DESTROYED MWAHAHAHAHA

Answer 69

Aww... RIP Challenge... T^T

Answer 70

No i mean i will destroy this challange and win xd

Answer 71

Yeah... but still... RIP. T^T

Answer 72

Also, if you bothered reading the whole thing, he recommended JUNIOR moderator. Also, I agree he can't even take being an ambie, but it's not a terrible idea. It's something we could use, especially for chats.

Answer 73

The logo wasn't enough, huh ?

Answer 74

So just because Brainly has it, we can't? Is there a problem with implementing it? If it's useful for us, I don't see why not. It's not reserved purely for one site.

Answer 75

Plenty of forums and such have the same thing, don't think Brainly was original with the idea.

Answer 76

I don't see how useful a logo can be. And if you actually got rid of the chats, you wouldn't need to worry about children swearing and online dating.

Answer 77

Don't think I'm dumb. You deleted your comment regarding us "stealing" the idea of Junior Mod from Brainly.

Answer 78

News flash, kid. There's a moderator on this post deleting comments. So I kind of do thing you're dumb.

Answer 79

Chats are a big part of Open Study. It's one of our main reasons for having so much popularity. It is out of control because there is no one present to control them when chaos occurs.

Answer 80

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Conqueror
I don't see how useful a logo can be.\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Answer 81

Having so much popularity, yet for the wrong reason.

Answer 82

Well other than removing them, what do you suggest we do to control chats?

Answer 83

Ban all the perverts.

Answer 84

Well that's what Junior Mods would be useful for. :)

Answer 85

When a mod isn't there or if any aren't online, junior mods can at least try to calm down the chat.

Answer 86

I find it highly likely for junior mods to abuse their powers.

Answer 87

It's not like we're going to promote Jay or anything, of course we would choose carefully and strip them of their title if they abuse their powers.

Answer 88

What in the world did i miss?

Oh god no dont promote me... im still waiting to be demoted xD

Answer 90

Remember Jaynator, half a year ago when we were arguing in favor of something similar?

We put up alot of reasons but the majority didn't agree.
