More frustrating are the lot that say, "Hey, I'm not at all asking you to code for me, I just want some tips/suggestions on how to start... ". When someone helps a bit, the next thing they say is: "Hey, I really cannot understand how to implement the algorithm you described... Would you please... ". Huh. Such people don't deserve to be associated in any way to the CE/IT field..

Can you help me start my project? please.....

Hi Dani,
Can you not put some trigger , like if there is keywords like urgent homework help ,etc in the title of the post but there is no "[code]" tag in the body of the post, you can redirect the poster to your sticky "we only give homework help" to whoever shows some effort and then allow the user to post a message?

Just a suggestion though.

I'd like that. Though, as always, I don't know how much work and for whom does that mean. Try posting it on the DaniWeb Community Feedback forum.

It seems like quite a few people here jump to conclusions that people are looking for homework help. Especially if a question is used from a textbook or exam paper. You know that this can mean a person is studying on their own and want to learn. It doesn't mean that they are doing homework. Now in July, who is in school anyway?

Homework or self-study, it comes down to the same thing - if someone can't show that they have put any effort in solving the problem then they shouldn't expect someone here to just hand them a solution.
