Question

So how "Nice" do you have to be to clear the conditions of the Code of Conduct?

Answer 1

Are "big old meanie" words not allowed? And if I'm not being serious AKA joking, how obvious do I have to make it?

Answer 2

i dont understand you question can you ezplain

Answer 3

I want to know the extent of "being bad" there is. If I call someone an idiot in a non-serious way, am I violating the rule? If so, where is the line between being nice and not? If some meanie word like dumb or idiot is said with no malice, does it still make you not a "Kind, friendly, and courteous" openstudy goer?

Answer 4

ok so tell me see what i think you are trying to ask is if you call someone stupid and your joking if there are consicenes and if that if breaking the CoC

Answer 11

Kirby is my favorite pokeman nice

Answer 12

:3 kirby is here ;p
Kirby says it is not ok to call people an idiot or stupid even though it is just a joke....BECAUSE people maybe hurt from inside you never know, that is why we should avoid it at all costs :)
Kirby's view on life:

Answer 13

But then how do you draw the line? How do you determine what is offensive and what isn't? People can get offended by varying levels, so what level stops being ok?

Answer 14

Like ChantySquirrel called someone a loser in the chat earlier, but I found it pretty obvious that it was a joke. Should that be penalized since someone could somehow find it offensive?

Answer 15

Kirby says just avoid saying those things ofc there's jokes but stupid and idiot should b avoided oh and dumb those are just some but if i say:

yo sadist you punk you're such a loser <---see that's rude it's obvious
yo sadist you're a loser <---anything on the internet can be mis-interpreted because we cannot physically hear the person who typed it.
yo sadist your a loser BAHAHAHA jkjkjk <---if it hurt you then it's rude if it didn't and you laughed it off (like most people would) it's fine.

As for knowing how others feel i recommend keeping things professionals people can be VERY sensitive.

Answer 16

I'm just saying, since I shared it as picture, not physically typing and calling the dude an idiot. I see your point, I just find it pretty hard to have "Be nice" as a rule if you cannot objectively define what "nice" borders at. Things that wouldn't offend me would offend others, and we obviously can't go to the very bottom denominator, so where to stop?

Answer 17

I agree, however i just saw what you posted :P I find it kinda harsh avoid posting those...

Answer 30

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 It was not meant to be rude, but rather it was to teach the asker something.

Answer 31

just be nice enough so that you don't get banned :)

you will get banned when you cuss/abuse or post inappropriate material or say something really bad which hurt feelings of others.
