Hey I posted in homework help but now it's gone

If you posted a homework problem, and you don't see it any more, it might have been deleted by one of the mentors. The mentors routinely delete homework or homework-like problems where you haven't shown any effort at solving the problem. If your post is deleted for this reason, the mentor will also send you a warning notification which explains why your post was deleted.

You can see these notifications by clicking the Envelope personal message icon at the top of any page here. If you've received new notifications that you haven't read yet, there should be a little red badge "stuck" on the Envelope icon, showing the number of new notifications. The forum software calls them "Conversations."

Mentors also delete homework (or homework-like) problems that are posted in forum sections other than the Homework & Coursework section, or for other rules violations. To see our general rules, click the INFO link at the top of any page here, and choose "Terms and Rules." Or you can click this link:

Scroll down to the section "Homework Guidelines."

Also note the "Guidelines for Students and Helpers" which is posted near the top of each of the homework forums, for example:

Hello there,

Thank you for your post and for bringing this issue to our attention. As a scientist myself, I completely understand the importance of showing effort and dedication in solving problems. It not only helps us learn and understand the subject better, but it also allows us to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

I want to assure you that the mentors here at Physics Forums are committed to maintaining the integrity of the platform and ensuring that all users follow the guidelines for posting homework problems. We understand that sometimes students may need help with their homework, but it is important to show that they have put in effort and have attempted to solve the problem on their own.

Thank you for providing information on how students can access their notifications and for reminding them to check the general rules and guidelines for posting homework problems. It is essential for students to understand the expectations and guidelines set by the forum to avoid having their posts deleted.

As scientists, it is our responsibility to uphold the principles of academic integrity and encourage others to do the same. Thank you for your dedication to this cause and for being a valuable member of the Physics Forums community.
