I wrote an eeeeentry level problem here and curiouskiwi assumed that I am cheating my way through a class (commenting on academic honesty). I have been working through this problem for about 6 hours now and thought hey, ill ask stack overflow. This is a class that can be non-accredited and is how im taking it. Im sure its a "simple" question as far as you fine folks are concerned. Just understand that writing a code that someone else has done and is posted on github in its entirety is NOT going against any academic dishonesty! I was completely forthcoming. | |

| Jul 22, 2014 at 23:40 | comment | added | Air | @curiouskiwi The first step would normally be a discussion on meta tagged feature-request. From there I'm not sure, but I suspect it's handled by SE staff rather than community moderators. I hadn't made the request because I have no idea if CS50 staff would be comfortable with such a policy. | |
| Jul 22, 2014 at 23:30 | comment | added | curiouskiwi Mod | @AirThomas are spoiler tags something that the mods can set up themselves? or does that require stackexchange staff to make changes? | |
| Jul 22, 2014 at 17:40 | comment | added | Air | I think a spoiler tag policy would be a decent compromise (and spoiler tags are already implemented on some of the network sites) but short of petitioning the SE community managers to appoint pro tem mods (i.e., staging a coup), I don't see any path forward without some level of participation by course staff. | |
