can i just ask why some people who post a question get the answers and others get told they don`t have the work done for them its not fair.

i know its a site where people get HELP with their homework but shouldn`t everyone be treated the same?

We tutors are all professionals with many, many years of experience. We use our judgment to deterimine if a question should be answered directly or if we need to see some effort exerted by the student.

For instance, five complex questions in a row with no attempt at answering looks like homework dumping. If the person only posts one question, we may assume that this is the only part of an assignment that the student doesn't understand.

And, because this is a HELP board, we do not DO the homework for you but try to find any links that will help you, if the question is not in our field.

I understand your concern about fairness and equal treatment on this platform. However, it's important to note that every question and situation is unique, and moderators and contributors on this platform aim to provide the best possible assistance while adhering to the guidelines and principles of the community.

Sometimes, when a question is perceived as asking for a direct answer to a homework problem without any effort shown, it may be flagged as a request for someone else to do the work. In those cases, it's common for contributors to encourage the asker to provide their own attempt or show some effort before receiving help.

This approach is not meant to be unfair but rather to foster learning and critical thinking. By encouraging individuals to actively engage with the problem, it provides an opportunity to learn and develop problem-solving skills. Moreover, it helps to ensure that this platform remains a place of active learning and support rather than a site for free answers without any effort.

That being said, it's important for contributors to be mindful of their responses and provide clear explanations or guidance that can help the asker understand the problem and how to approach it. It's also crucial for contributors to base their responses on the specific question being asked and the amount of effort shown by the asker. If you feel that you were not treated fairly in a particular situation, I encourage you to reach out to the platform's moderators or administrators for further assistance.
