Many schools, for instance UCLA, will withdraw acceptance of students if they do not complete their required course work, for example Calculus II. Many schools also will severly punish a student, sometimes even expel them, should the student commit plagiarism, for instance submitting homework answers as their own that they obtained by asking the questions online (for example in a class on probabilistic microeconomics).
What is the probability that continued homework questions posted on the probability forum will result in someone reporting said poster to his school?
If you have an interesting question, that is a question that is interesting to people - even those that don't have the question as a homework question, then feel free to post that.
If you have a question that you are stuck on, and you can post work that shows you are trying to figure out the answer and have done some thinking yourself, then feel free to post that.
But if all you have is a routine homework question complete with the [5 points] scoring system and what not then don't post that and expect others to do your work for you. For if you do so you have committed a
moral hazard. <font color="white"> I know my use of moral hazard here isn't actually a technically correct usage, but that was as much of a hint as I was willing to give the OP on his homework question. </font>
