| Sep 25, 2016 at 19:58 | comment | added | M.A.R. | Well, I established these guidelines so we be a bit more lenient on closing. If someone explicitly states that it's their homework, lack of effort will likely result in closure. However, we have a history of leaving questions with a potentially interesting answer open. So we'd decide more or less on a case-by-case basis. | |

| Aug 30, 2016 at 8:12 | comment | added | Martin - マーチン Mod | @Marko You might (in general) want to review your questions to actually have a meaningful title, especially for this one. Also consider that a question should be helpful for everyone and even though you might use common abbreviations, it would be much better to actually include the full one in the body. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 4:59 | comment | added | M.A.R. | @Jon as a guideline, stuff asking for calculations or picking a choice are homework, but conceptual questions aren't. The problem we're trying to solve is that some conceptual questions that are not homework tend to get closed as homework if there is no demonstrated effort by the OP, hence the close reason and the guidance won't fit. Bottom line is, if you can be certain that it's homework, it is; but we won't be closing as homework in the gray areas. It would be helpful to comment in such cases so the close reviewers agree. | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 20:23 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Can you tell us how to agree on what a blatantly obvious homework question is? My degrees are not in chemistry, and I still see many blatant homework questions. Heaven forbid if I actually knew more chemistry (likely meaning I'd done more chemistry homework). | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 19:05 | comment | added | Karl | No it's not. It's an advanced question, but heck, my organcis professor often gave homework questions we couldn't solve with the help of his assistants & doctoral candidates. Plus it's posed in a lazy, offhanded way, without even a question mark, and no hint to any own effort by the OP. | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 17:38 | comment | added | M.A.R. | The badge holders should give some input on that, but it does seem like a legitimate question. Reopening. | |
