Question

Regarding Past Questions


Is it intended that past questions even if they're closed to be still available for viewing by the general public? I mean I see why it's good for promotion, but I know a ton of people that back in school used this site for getting quick answers without reasoning on their own. So i was just wondering about that. No disrespect intended

Answer 1

yes they can be still viewed

Answer 2

yes anything posted on OpenStudy can be viewed by anyone.

Answer 3

No it's for future reference.

Answer 4

Users can go back onto those questions to get help in the future

Answer 5

Direct answers are usually deleted but im sure you'll find many around the site

Answer 6

Yes, it is intended.

Answer 7

Well its their choice. They can learn from the answer or they can copy them and suffer later in life :)

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

I do believe that closed questions should not be allowed for the public to view after a month except the OS Feedback questions. Sure, we'll lose a lot of potential users but most of them are the ones who just want answers.

Answer 15

We all probably live in america but i have no school so i dont sleep i usually go to sleep around 9-10-11

Answer 16

As i said users choose their own faith we shouldn't block users from viewing previously answered questions just because a selected few use it the wrong way.

@confluxepic You are looking at this from a moral standpoint. Preetha and her company will look at it at a monetary standpoint. Those "potential users" is what helps drive traffic and gives them income (ads, etc). So, sure, morals are good and all. But we live in a world of money and power

If Preetha wants her company to grow faster then she would have allowed direct answers medal spamming years ago. Why have moderators? Better have those users stay on our site.
But I understand your point; we live in a world of money, power, greed, and change.
