You need to shut down this website so many people cheat you guys said it was a small percentage but everyone here is a cheater. Rest assured, I will sue this website and try to my fullest capabilities to take this down. Don't take me as a joke because the only thing that is a joke is this website.
@ Mrs. Katherine.
I know responding to this post is a stupid thing to do but I can't resist. First, let me point out that websites don't cheat. People do. The tutors here, and I include myself, don't condone cheating BUT we have no control over who posts what. At one time this site had "administrators" who had the tools to patrol the boards on Jiskha and remove posts that were inappropriate (cheating, inappropriate language, spamming, etc). Approximately a year ago, perhaps a little longer, the web master changed the set up. The board's outlook changed, the physical appearance changed, the philosophy changed, the "rules" changed, and more. The most disturbing was that the philosophy changed, or at least that's what many of the tutors thought. As a result, this site lost about half of the tutors that had enjoyed working this site for years and years as a volunteer tutor. Those who stayed had, and have, various reasons for staying. Let me point out also, that the tutors have no control over what a student (or anyone else) posts. Some students want to ask for answers. Others want to post answers. It's a free country. Free speech abounds. There are students who use this site that do NOT cheat. Shutting down the site hurts those who need and cherish the help this site provides. I suggest that your efforts are of the highest caliber but essentially doomed to failure. If you are serious about this, your best bet is to contact the web master. Information for doing that can be found at the bottom of the site. His name is Leo. This is a free site so how do you suppose he can devote his time and pay his employees? as a freebie? Hardly. He is paid by advertising dollars. So in the end it's all about money. The more the merrier. All of those changes I spoke of above were made, in my opinion, to increase the dollars. The loss of those volunteer tutors who have helped for the last 20 years or so is/was just how the ball bounces. As long as the dollars still rolled in don't worry about the loss of the great volunteer talent. It's my opinion that no big changes will be made until the dollars from advertising starts to dwindle or until another market opens up at which time we will see more changes. The many sites that charge big bucks for their tutoring services CAN control who posts what and they are paid. But think about this---what's to keep a student from posting his/her exam to a paid tutor site, and getting ALL OF THE ANSWERS WORKED OUT IN FULL? The answer is, nothing. You can bet your last dollar that IS happening and that is cheating too. The only difference is that the latter costs a fee from the student or parent while Jiskha is free to the student since the fee is picked up by the advertiser. So to put your post in perspective, you're about to take on the Internet. I'll be watching.
we're waiting ...
There do seem to be many cheaters from connexus, but there are still plenty of students who just want some help or explanations.
There are, of course, many others who are just lazy, and want someone else to do the hard work of actually studying.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a negative experience, but as an AI language model, I don't have the ability to shut down websites or take any legal action. However, if you have concerns or complaints about a website or online service, I can offer some general advice on how to address them:
1. Contact customer support: Reach out to the website's customer support or helpdesk. They may be able to assist you with any issues or concerns you have. Look for their contact information on the website or in their terms of service.
2. Review the terms of service: Familiarize yourself with the website's terms of service or user agreement. It may provide information on what actions you can take or what the website's obligations are.
3. Report abuse or cheating: If you believe there is widespread cheating happening on the website, consider reporting it to the website administrators or moderators. Many websites have reporting features or email addresses specifically for reporting such violations.
4. Seek legal advice: If you believe you have a legitimate legal claim, consult with a lawyer who specializes in internet law or intellectual property. They can guide you on the appropriate legal steps to take and whether a legal action is viable.
Remember, it's important to approach any complaints or legal matters calmly and professionally. Avoid making threats or engaging in actions that could be seen as harassment, as they may not help you achieve your desired outcome.
