| Feb 19, 2015 at 4:03 | comment | added | got trolled too much this week | As for SO being a hellpit for CS questions, there's no doubt in my mind about that. Recent example: stackoverflow.com/questions/28593290/… | |

| Jun 23, 2013 at 15:58 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | By the way, I agree that one does not have to have a problem with (lazy) homework questions as an individual (I know I don't). However, they can become a problem for the site if they drown everything else, since those people who don't like them have little way to evade them and thus have a poor (perceived) signal/noise ratio. (Wow, am I arguing for a homework tag just now? O.o) | |

| Jun 22, 2013 at 16:25 | comment | added | András Salamon | Similar ideas have been thought about meta.stackexchange.com/questions/170586/… though the "robo-reviewer" problem seems to make this less effective on SO. | |
| Jun 22, 2013 at 15:59 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | The tools you propose would be nice, if they could be implemented in a reliable fashion. Sadly, site metas are hardly monitored for feature requests; I suggest you search Meta Stack Exchange and post your suggestion(s) there if needed. | |
