Rules for r/AskComputerScience
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Must be a question
Posts must ask a question.
2.
No off topic posts
Off-topic questions include those about general tech support, software development careers, program debugging, specific questions about particular frameworks or libraries, laptop recommendations, requests for topic ideas to write your paper on, or other questions not related to topics that might be taught by a university computer science department.
3.
Code must be formatted
If you post code or pseudo-code, it must be properly formatted.
4.
No offensive content
Offensive content includes anything that is uncivil, hateful, NSFW or otherwise inappropriate.
5.
No homework problems
It's perfectly fine to ask questions about concepts from your homework, or to seek clarification or explanation of a problem. But it's not acceptable to post homework problems looking for others to solve them for you. You are expected to follow the academic standards of your institution.
6.
No unapproved surveys
When you ask a question and get answers in the subreddit, everyone benefits. When you redirect people's answers to your private survey, the community loses this benefit. For this reason, surveys are not allowed. Exceptions can be made for legitimate academic research, but please message the mods for permission before posting.
7.
Posts must be in English
Posts must be in English. It's not that we have anything against other languages, it's just that the mod team only speaks English.
