We need to talk about homework help on here

So with the beginning of this school year, I think we as a group need to come to some sort of consensus as far as our policy on homework help.

It's still the beginning of the quarter/semester, and I've already seen several posts asking for help on homework questions, without any lead-in on specifically what they need help on, but what seems like an expectation of us walking them through the whole thing. One of them was even on a 2.5 hour deadline.

Do we want to say that this specifically is entirely unacceptable, and that this community should stay more towards talking about classes in general ("Should I take blah-de-blah or blah-de-blah?") and all the logistics around being an engineer, or should we entertain helping every student who needs help because OMG their professor's English is terrible and please help because this is due in two hours?

AskEngineers is already such a good community, so I'm hesitant to direct them there. I would vote that we do not entertain these posts, and instead direct them (and as many of ourselves that are interested) to /r/homeworkhelp/ and update the sidebar to make this clear. The sidebar does say we offer homework help, but might we want to set some level of quality standard as far as what people should expect us to help them with (Specific hangups on a problem vs "This is hard; help").

Edit: I think it's looking like much of the consensus is, as staticd says:

That being said, it would be important to caveat in the side bar that if you are looking for homework help, you can expect your post to be vote-shifted to negative infinity if you don't present proper effort and explanation of your question.
