Many users on Physics Forums (PF) treat the platform as a personal search engine, often posting urgent requests for help with homework instead of conducting basic research themselves. The discussion highlights frustrations with users who fail to provide adequate context or effort in their inquiries, leading to a decline in meaningful interactions. Participants emphasize the importance of clear communication and proper writing skills, suggesting that students should consolidate their questions and demonstrate prior research. There is a call for users to develop their analytical abilities and engage more thoughtfully with the forum, rather than relying on quick answers. Overall, the conversation underscores a desire for a more productive and respectful exchange of knowledge within the community.
