1, Lily ?

I see that my comment pointing out that this person is cheating by asking for help on a "no asking" quiz has been removed. Yet it didn't break the posting guidelines because it was not commenting on the rights or wrongs of giving answers but was asking the poster why they were deliberately cheating on a quiz. I assume the person who deleted it thinks it's OK to cheat on quizzes?

I only asked for Clues not the actual answer.

vonmarie - it clearly states on the quiz sheet "do not ask for any help, clues or answers on the internet" so how can you possibly think that asking for clues is OK?

nexus@3:

I agree with you. But due to many past tedious arguments, flame wars, etc. the established forum tradition is to let such cheating questions stand. IMO best solution is to ignore the posts.

Yes it does as i have had a look. I thought it was just ‘no asking’ so my apologies for asking for help. But it would have been more acceptable if you had told me in a civil manner and not to call me a cheat. We are after all only human and mistakes do occur.

Nexus, the “person” who deleted your post is the Admin for the Forum who took the courtesy of emailing you to explain the decision. You somehow forgot to mention this in your post.

I do not intend to justify how I run the Forum to you or anybody else and this discussion is at an end.

If you continue in your aggressive stance then I will have no option but to ban you from the Forum.

However, this episode explains exactly why we do not allow such discussions on the Forum.
