Response to Homework Questions.

Just a suggestion, but it might help to pare down the number of threads that have little "added value" if the Moderators were to delete these posts rather than simply "close" them. Case in point, this thread was started by someone who asked for a homework solution. The poster received a reply containing a script. Subsequently a Moderator came along and deleted the reply with the script and then closed the thread. The remaining thread adds no value to the board, and worst of all, will show up in search results! I think these "Homework Request Posts" should be deleted out right. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for reading!

Also, a lot of people will lurk for a while before they make a post. If they see a thread closed due to a rule violation, they may become aware of the rules.

Agreed. The way different threads are managed provide a living example to everyone of how the forums work.
