Desperate homework

[tummychow]

OK, I just have to find out how much this annoys you guys.
"My homework is due tomorrow, please please please help!!!!!"
After prolonged periods of inactivity: "please help!!"
Also things such as double posting, etc.
In other words, how bothersome do you find it when people desperately beg you to help them with their homework? (To date I have not yet seen someone acting desperate with a theory question or anything not "due".)

Well, it's because they don't have a homework deadline coming at them. XP

It annoys me, but usually I just ignore the topics if it looks like a "I have no code plz gimme some". If the OP takes the time to actually lay out the stuff then I'll help them.

Umm, I've been pretty desperate with a few theory questions :P So much so as to double post...I was actually about to do that again, but I decided against it.

The worst is when the reply to your post (which says to use code tags, to make their code neater, and read some articles) is something like "i dnt want u 2 link me 2 articls; cnt u just giv me coed???" or, worse still, "Gee, that's helpful. Really. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!"

So agree with you on that one. It also kinda annoys me when people say "what's code tags?". Because you really should have read the how to ask. But at least they don't try to piss you off.

Well there was a particular Augmented troll genetically engineered to piss us all off. That or some kid using a web translator, no one could tell :P
