| Nov 4, 2013 at 20:15 | comment | added | Mostafa | @Manishearth Wikipedia has a similar feature: hidden categories. (See this). Is there such thing available here? | |
| Nov 4, 2013 at 4:46 | comment | added | David Z Mod | OK, but then I would say, why not just close the questions that would get the tag, and not bother with actually applying the homework tag at all? That's basically how we treat big-list currently. | |
| Nov 4, 2013 at 4:33 | comment | added | Manishearth Mod | @david Pretty much. We can phase it out later if we manage to stem the influx of HW and/or get them closed quickly. | |
| Nov 4, 2013 at 3:41 | comment | added | N. Virgo | @DavidZ I think that would be my preferred solution. It would be similar to the current status of the big-list tag. Without the homework tag there would always be some low-quality closed or not-yet-closed hw questions on the front page, with no option to ignore them. (Though on the other hand it would lead to edit wars even more than the current system.) | |
| Nov 4, 2013 at 1:16 | comment | added | David Z Mod | @Manishearth in what sense would we be banning homework then? Would we say that anything with the homework tags gets closed? | |
| Nov 2, 2013 at 7:28 | comment | added | Manishearth Mod | Maybe we can keep the tag for easy hiding purposes but still "ban" homework? It's tag abuse, but it seems like a good way out. | |
