Let me add that one way to deal with solution-diggers is to add full solutions later (i.e. after potential deadlines) and/or in a spoiler tag (>!).

Mod | @Gilles, I understand -- but I did not feel my answer was a non-answer; I felt (and still feel) my answer is an answer, so your premise does not apply. However I get your general point, and in the future I will vote to close on this kind of question if that's the right thing to do. Thank you! | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 9:49 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mod | @D.W. Conversely, I would have expected that you'd vote to close. If you feel that a non-answer is the best response to the question, then you should indicate that the question should not get proper answers, i.e. that it should be closed. | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 8:00 | comment | added | D.W. Mod | Thank you for closing the question. That feels more consistent to me. I don't have any problem with the treatment of my answer, if the moderators are going to close the question. (I would have more of a complaint if moderators are going to convert my sort of answer to a comment, while leaving the question open. But since this question was closed, I have no objection or complaint. Thank you!) | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 7:54 | comment | added | D.W. Mod | "I have noticed a trend towards answers that only give hints, and not full solutions. Such answers are very bad for the site." - It looks to me like the community does not agree with you on this. References: meta.cs.stackexchange.com/q/324/755, meta.cs.stackexchange.com/a/471/755. If you think this does not accurately characterize the community's opinion, I suggest posting a separate discussion question to resolve the matter. | |
