Are we doing homework for highschool students?

Some questions are like "please write that program for me" The questioner normally is not higher than level 3. Might be some lazy students? Should one provide that code?

I usually don't. A person has to show some effort at least and dedication to learn and understand the problems or errors encountered.

@Norman if one writes 80% of code and has a specific problem ...ok . we must keep i mind that sololearn is for beginners. My topic is :"pleeeeeease write a code for fibonacci series, in java, with recursion" without any own contribution.

No we shouldn't. That is not the purpose of Sololearn. But obviously someone will not be able to stop the urge to code. Then boom others will follow.

I mean this kind of question : no code, no approach, level 3. https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/800783/?ref=app

@jonathan yes you are right. Give some hints, and help for the last 20%. I think, also some challenges are student homework. What to do with that?

I had the same problem in my mind :p When is clear that someone wants to do the homework you should not "help" him, but i belive that we should try to give some keywords or little tips for those that "sound" like legit beginners(i am a beginner myself, and sometimes when i want to search an issue i cant find what i want because of the language barrier,so we should have this in mind too)

Here's another one: https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/801039/?ref=app Based on his posts he looks like a highschool student who created a sololearn account so someone else can make his homeworks.
