Question

Um excuse me but why are we not allowed to say PeerAnswer or PA? My friend said it in a chat once "PeerAnswer is down again, third time today" and he got banned. Is there a specific part in the CoC where it says we can't use it?

Answer 1

Hi @psirockin2 PeerAnswer is a competitor site. They stole Openstudy's design and made it their own. Or at least that is what I heard.... @hartnn Can you plz explain it better? :D

Answer 5

The suspense as we all wait 4 hartnn to finish typing lol.

Answer 6

It is discouraged to advertise other educational OpenStudy-like websites.
Though if he just said that, it shouldn't have been considered as an advertisement.
I'll look into it further.

Answer 8

Answer 9

OS is not at all against a discussion regarding any other site.
Unless you become inappropriate, or start advertising those sites.
