Question

What are your guys' Openstudy-related pet peeves?

Answer 1

Mine is people asking questions that only need a simply Google search.

Answer 2

Mine is I'm writing a longer explanation about each math step and some newb gives a direct answer or spams.

Answer 3

^ That's the worst.
Then the direct answer turns out wrong but the user you are helping has already gone offline so you can't correct it for them.

People may ask quetions that can be googled for the following reasons:
1) They don't know it's on google
2) Maybe they want to actually learn the question they asked rather than looking for the answer


What are your guys' Openstudy-related pet peeves?
-I dislike people who make spam posts
-People who criticize the site without providing proper ways to as to how the site can be improved
-People who ask for help and never post the question
-the list goes on.

Answer 5

@pooja195 I meant posts where the only unknown is what a certain term is, which the asker could find by googling it. Basically any question simple enough to not need an explanation, that should just go to google.

Answer 6

Well this is a study site. So people are free to ask any educational question they wish to ask. Sorry if that disappoints you.

Answer 7

Disappoint? Not really. It's just a little annoying, that's why I put it as a pet-peeve, not a "OMG THIS IS WHY OPENSTUDY SUCKS HOW COULD PEOPLE DO THIS"

Thinking that they are funny, and making double meaning jokes, or the PUNS. (OH MY GOSH, NOT THE PUNS..) I am forced to laugh, since I hate hurting others feelings.
