Posting the answers in the comments section of Lesson Quizzes

Question

I think in every quiz of every lesson of every language there are users who post the correct answer. But why does Sololearn doesn't remove those posts?
I find them annoying and unhelpful.
Does this issue been tackled before?
Does Sololearn has a plan on removing them?
Why mods are not allowed to remove them?

Answer 1

I don't think it is necessary to remove any kind of comment (instead spam). If you want to avoid seeing the correct answer, check the comments only after you've made a correct guess. No offence.

Answer 2

Currently, the guidelines do not explicitly state that answers should not be posted in lesson comments. However, comments which reveal the answers to lesson quizzes without any context can be considered spam. E.g.

span
cout <<
x 4

"The answer is <something>", as a comment, is still allowed. That said, I think the thoughts of our community should be involved in how SoloLearn shape the rules. If you feel that the comments which reveal the answers on lessons affect your overall learning experience, do not hesitate to provide a feedback to SoloLearn stating your dissatisfaction.

Answer 3

Leave those answers!

I am not one to cheat myself, as I hand-type the "try it yourself" code, notate it, expand upon it a bit maybe...but sometimes I just don't get it.

For those times when I finally get the correct answer at the third try, have no idea why I am finally "correct", and need someone to tell me why my last choice was the right one...I look to the comment with the explanation just handed to me.

Anyone that would just go straight to a potted answer isn't trying to learn anyway. A cheat-sheet is not going to ruin their learning experience because they are not here for a learning experience.

If anything, a potted answer in the comments is an excellent Darwinian device: It kills the lazy (nothing will help them), and allows those with drive to assuage their failure by at least finally learning the reason why.

Change nothing says I.
