Feb 1, 2021 at 15:00 comment added Poutnik I think the short paragraph about answering homework questions would deserve an independent chapter, as a guidence for responders. Including the moot point if the answer should include the enumeration of the formulas to obtain the literal results. ( = spoon-feeding until the plate is empty )
Jun 3, 2020 at 3:28 comment added orthocresol Mod @ManishEarth, we've tried a lot, but not gotten anywhere, really. As far as I can tell, it is still reasonably popular. I am part of a very tiny minority here!
Jun 3, 2020 at 2:04 comment added ManishEarth @orthocresol I mean y'all are free to discuss and come up with a new policy, this one is pretty old and was not fully thought out when written
May 30, 2020 at 15:12 comment added orthocresol Mod I swear, this is the one post on chem.meta.SE that I hate the most. And yes, I downvoted it.

Jan 12, 2020 at 16:34 comment added Andrew I'm not sure about "as a general rule, we do not discourage homework questions", given that the "tour" page says "Don't ask about... Homework (read the homework policy if you have such a question)"

Added link to hint answer discussion.

I have removed all text that discourages full answers, in the interests of us not turning into Hint.SE.

Mar 29, 2017 at 20:20 comment added orthocresol Mod I agree, it is confusing. My interpretation is that the true value of doing a homework question is the learning process, rather than having the end result.

Jan 27, 2017 at 20:24 comment added electronpusher I had to think twice about that definition as well. I accept it now, but I think it is potentially misleading.
Nov 26, 2016 at 21:16 comment added Skeleton Bow 'A "homework question" is any question whose value lies in helping you understand the method by which the question can be solved, rather than getting the answer itself.' Shouldn't it be the other way around? It seems to contradict the rest of the post, from what I can tell.

new users reading this don't have enough rep to see the "Bad: " so there's no point in having them imo
