Deletion of Questions?

Posted 9 years ago

There was a posted question Vector Graph that looked like a homework question. I answered it anyway because I often learn myself from such questions and I wanted to show a more elaborated development. Just before I started my posting I renewed the page to make sure it hadn't already been answered and that it was still there.

But after I made my posting the page disappeared and thus my answer never appeared. This is a bit irritating considering time involved. I'm wondering if the page was removed by the moderation team or the author. If it was by the author then perhaps he really was getting his homework done and then hiding it. If it was by the moderation team then I wonder why, or wish they had removed it sooner.

Hi,

please have a look at this:

http://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/458666

where it was made quite clear to me that we are not allowed to reply to homework questions. When I answered the question was not marked as homework. The links below show that we need to try to figure out what homework is; if we reply we appear to breach the community guidelines. In many cases it is difficult to be sure whether a post is about homework. I suppose that a conservative approach is in order then and one should refrain from replying.

This advice has changed my approach to replies here in the community substantially, but I fully understand that the Moderation team has to, well, moderate. Their place, their rules.

I do not think that a poster can delete your reply.

Best wishes,

Marco
