My girlfriend started taking a Masters in a college this year. In her course the faculty have shown some disorganization and computer illiteracy since day one but the latest one...completely killed me.

Besides their personal college e-mail, they wanted a platform to make announcements for all the course (20 students). I can think of a thousand ways to do this. Hell, even a Facebook group would be better. But no...

They have an e-mail address (like Masters_name@college.duh) where all the info is sent and EVERYBODY has the password to enter the e-mail and check the inbox.

That is it. I have no words. I think this is the most idiotic and dumb thing I've ever seen in IT.

It's like someone explained the idea of a mailing list but they didn't quite get it.

Plot twist: the MA program is in Ethics and Morality and they're in the middle of a live experiment.

A very poor attempt at a mail-list. I wonder when someone’s going to change the password.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Or delete all messages and trash.

[–] Sky_Lobster@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Seems like it might be time to change the password on that email address. You know, for security reasons. 🤔

"Hey all, I wanted to say that class is cancelled today b/c of severe weather - PLEASE do not try to come in, it really is quite dangerous outside!"

Got it, message received, [delete message]. Cleaned out my inbox today, guess I can ~~go~~ stay home! :-P

[–] ceiphas@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Connect via POP, Instant fun

[–] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? Can you please explain the joke to me?

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many emails clients automatically delete the messages on the email server once they locally download them.

[–] ceiphas@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The POP-Protocol is designed to delete all new Mails on the Server after connecting

Moodle is free and open source and exactly for this (along with hosting course material as well).

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just because I like to see the world burn I would clear the inbox/sent folders each time a email is received.

Maybe start to draft emails with nonsense in them, such as shopping lists of items that don't make sense together. A list of all the best bathrooms on campus. List of students in class based on height.

Would not hurt to subscribe the email address to a bunch of junk/spam/marketing sites.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Nah, I'd sign up for cat memes or something, then set up filtering rules to delete everything except for the cat memes. If they're dumb enough to think the shared inbox is a good solution, they might not know about filters.

I'll have a Loaded Nacho Triple Cheeseburger with extra chili on top. Actually make it two of those. Oh and a small chocolate frosty.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 year ago

(small cause I'm on a diet)

[–] sajran@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, can't say I'm surprised. I had something like that in pretty much every school I was in, just that ours were actually Gmail accounts. For non-technical folks it's an easy and obvious solution. And to be honest, it works...

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It "works" if everybody is well behaved and you don't care about niceties like seeing which messages have been read.

[–] milkytoast@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

lol yea I'm changing that password first chance I get just for shits and giggles
