I think most attempts at standardizing the responses of a public community will always fail. Furthermore, I can't remember any questions I read two days ago, much less a week.

If you really want to impact cheaters trying to sail by a programming class, propose that PM charge a nominal fee, say $1 a month, and do away with handles and anonymous posting. Then, since there is money involved, the lazy people would go back to their roots of bribing the smart guy in class to do their work for them. (But you propose it, because I don't want to be chased off the forum and have my birthday taken away.)

Another approach might be to participate in the threads you find interesting, and stay away from the ones that piss you off. We've all seen "how do i mash up teh button?!?!" posts that make us cringe, but on the other hand I at least have seen some interesting homework problems that were fun to solve, and have participated in those threads. If my 2 minutes of quick-hack coding helps someone pass a class he wasn't meant to, I'd be pretty damned suprised. I'd be less suprised to find out that my answer plus the 10 similar but different and 2 or so totally far gone answers inspired someone to use perl.
