Adapting the rules, some small changes, how to deal with homework questions

Please read this thread for info:

I think in conclusion we can make the following changes or not really changes but adaptations:

A) Instead of sending the member directly to the dictionary, answer the question if you wish or can and tell him to look there next time.

B) I find the translator really confusing. I answered a question yesterday , I thought very straightforward, put it into the translator and trash came out. So sending the member to the translator is really quite useless, even though it is good for the sitewink

C) If you see the question has been asked a hundred times...just include one thread in the answer and ask the member to make a search.

D) Please indicate the member to use correct capitalization, but if you see that this person repeatedly ignores the indication, please flag the post or let us know by PM, we have had a case like this recently. This is another point that distinguishes us from Yahoo answers, correct spelling is not required as it is not a learning site.

E) If you see a member post a homework question just ignore it or give him the correct indication, we do not do homework on this site, we help with it.

Look at this perfect example as how to deal with homework questions, and a good result, does not always work, but one can trywink

F) Some people use the answer section as a translation service , which is not the aim of this site. Please let us know if you see anything like this.

G) If a member old or new, uses the translator for a work, even a word // picture of the day answer or homework claiming that it is their doing, please don't correct it, we only correct work that has been done by the member himself.

G) If no claim has been made that it's their own doing and admit that they used the translator is that still unacceptable?

Awesome! The example about the plural we form is pretty cool.

I appreciate all the work you and all the administrators do on this site. It's part of what makes it so great. Of course the other part is the members.
