If you come here just for others to write your programs, you're really just cheating yourself. How will you learn when others are doing your work for you ? When I did VB 6.0 and C++, I DID IT, not others.
My question is; how can I respond politely and tell some of these people to meet with their instructor(s) or tutor(s) in their comp lab and ask questions unitl they can figure it out for themselves. They'll never have to write or fix code if everyone is doing their work for them. Plus, it's only going to get harder if they continue on with programming ! And furthermore, if you can't do symbolic logic, please give up programming for good (or stick with MYSPACE coding ..lol )

You cannot prevent "kids" (or adults for that matter) to ask questions. Homework or not.
The problem is to try to convince the ANSWERERS NOT to answer by giving the full details.
When a kid cuts and paste his homework, it is obvious: I answer by giving GUIDANCE, not answers. I may give the final answer and the process line. That is helpful, as the kid has to work out the middle. Never got one of these as "best answer" though!
On the other hand, you also have "professsionals" who try to get the work done for them (and probably get paid for OUR answers). "Jason" came here and asked questions on web design. We answer several ("what's wrong with my code?" - and we fixed it.).
Then we went to 163 questions from the same guy, leading to a complete website design! In the end, I systematically reported him for abuse.
He is not there anymore.
Maybe that is the way.
How to convince others NOT to answer is hard, but we can write a small cut-and-paste answer that is, not for the kid, but for the answerers: our own "moderator comment".
I'll do that from now...

sometimes i wish there would be moderators here...
90% of the questions were anyway answered many times before. "How do i create a webpage for free?" and stuff like that.
As for homework: the real problem is that whenever a homework question is asked, there's an idiot who actually helps and writes the program. And therefore these questions won't stop.
