help!!!! · Answer

It seems like a surprisingly amount of people are just copying and pasting their homework problems and just waiting for the answer. Just give them the steps and instructions please. Also be weary of the "MEDAL AND FAN".

I think "Medal and Fan" is just another term for "cheater"

Yes, but if you report them, you will get a warning for a false report :P

I think the phrase "WILL GIVE MEDAL" is like a flashing red light for 'cheater alert'. However, not all of them are cheaters. For example, I sometimes put WILL GIVE MEDAL even when just asking how to explain a concept, and not give an answer to a question, because no one that I know either knows how to explain the concept properly, or does not understand the concept at all. For example, when I was first introduced to advanced probability, I had an extremely hard time understanding  unions and intersections, so I put WILL GIVE MEDAL when posting because I was desperate at the time.

@SolomonZelman I know what you mean :\. On a previous account I reported someone for posting most of the test questions from an flvs final exam and I got a false report :|
