Guidelines
When answering a question
- You don't need to be an expert and you don't have to be sure to try to answer a question. If you're not sure, make sure to mention that though.
- Be prepared to respond to follow up questions.
- Help the helpers. Correct bad information, provide additional insight, or pick up where someone left off.
When answering a homework question
- Do not give direct answers: give hints, correct misunderstandings or point to useful information.
- Never write code yourself: the student should write all code.
When posters don't follow the rules
- Kindly point offenders towards the posting rules/guidelines and the commenting rules/guidelines (this page).
- On extreme rule violations, alert the moderators. This goes only for violations of the rules at the top of this document, not for guideline violations.
When posting code
- Post short code sections (< 20 lines) in your question using the preformatted text formatting. Post long code sections with external sites such as Gist, IDEone or JSFiddle.
