Question

a suggestion to prevent direct answering (and other breaches of the CoC):
How about registering users get redirected to the Code of Conduct, following form submission, that won't allow them to pass until they've actually read the rules?

Answer 1

isn't it the same ?? like you have to click on that box "You must agree to the terms and privacy policy to sign up. " then u will be able to make an acc
how would we know if they really read it or not ?

Answer 2

i think `take a quiz` would be a good idea ..
in order to make an acc they need to get all the questions right...hmm

Answer 3

but tbh those users who are already familiar with the coc and other rules still give DA..

Answer 4

yeah like @nnesha

Answer 5

a quiz would also work, yes @Nnesha :)

Answer 6

i do agree with a quiz +1

Answer 7

How will we know whether they read it or not ? You can't force anyone to read it. The most you can do is simply offer them a checkbox.

Answer 8

That's why I said quiz, @Conqueror

Although I know of several websites/softwares that require you to at least scroll through the terms before you can hit the Submit button. o:

Answer 9

i am familiar with those websites :P but again..scrolling isn't the guarantee of reading the rules

Answer 10

If i was about to make an os acc then i'd just skip the coc and then i'd mark the most appropriate answers in the quiz (which is not so difficult) even tho i may not follow coc

Answer 11

meh, worth a shot o:

Answer 12

Yeah that can reduce DAs

Answer 13

I'm the fastest scroller in the south.

Answer 14

but at leasst you will read the statement ? right?
if you get it right you will be able to make an account
if not take a quiz again :P

Answer 15

That and it would reduce the amount of freakin' spam taggers who think I'm a virtual answer-machine.

I literally got 8 tags in a row once

Answer 16

like i said some people don't really care
there are some users who are familiar with the DAs rules but still.. providez direct ansawer

Answer 17

If they're under 75 SS I tend to hit report. lol

Answer 18

no. 99s...

Answer 19

Whats up with the picture ? @peachpi

Answer 20

somebody said something a while back, and I changed it to annoy them, and never changed it back

Answer 21

...

Answer 22

@Nnesha so I should report anyone under 99 ss? lol

Answer 23

no i didn't say that. I was saying 99s also givez DA

Answer 24

well that is true, but I think it is a bad habit and shouldn't spread to new users.

Until they become as old as us veterans xD

Answer 25

@Nnesha quiz would be a good idea but what if someone passes the quiz and totally ignores the CoC

Answer 26

And what if on top of that no mods or admins are on

Answer 27

and no one reports

Answer 28

* but tbh those users who are already familiar with the coc and other rules still give DA..*
yes as i mentioned it

Answer 29

I think it's good the way it is.

When you are signing up for OpenStudy, and first thing that really pops up is the rules, could make you feel unwelcomed in a way, or give the vibe that OpenStudy is a really, really strict site.

Having to scroll, that is far enough. Taking a test is a bit absurd. Some people already have enough tests as it is ;)

Answer 30

It's a controversial subject, but there will be Direct Answers, mass tagging, and w hole bunch more even if the CoC and TaC is read by everyone

Answer 31

true
