Jul 16, 2012 at 23:46 comment added Miquel Ramirez I agree with this. I'd just like to add this: "There is no homework policy. But there are some common sense guidelines for handling homework questions."
Jun 18, 2012 at 12:15 comment added Raphael Mod We agree, then.
Jun 18, 2012 at 7:27 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mod @Raphael If the asker asked for a hint and an answer goes straight to the point without explaining how to get there, it's not a good answer to the question as asked, and pointing it out is fine. But if the asker wasn't explicitly requesting a hint and someone comments “-1 for giving a complete solution to a homework problem”, I'll delete the comment and go hard on the commenter.
Jun 18, 2012 at 7:08 comment added Raphael Mod But for the last item, I think this is in intent and effect almost equivalent to my proposal, worded differently. What do you mean by "reproach"; is it fair to ask answerers to respect the asker's wishes, or edit the post to the hint + details-in-spoiler format?
