AI Thread Summary
Implementing a "Solved" tag in homework help forums could streamline the process for homework helpers by allowing them to quickly identify resolved threads. This would help reduce the time spent sifting through already solved questions. The suggestion intentionally excludes an "unsolved" option to avoid issues with users forgetting to update their threads. However, current forum policies limiting post edits after a certain time may hinder the effectiveness of this solution. Overall, the idea aims to enhance efficiency in homework assistance.

I think a "Solved" option should be implemented in the homework help forums. This will reduce the time homework helpers spend reading through already solved threads.

Note, I intentionally excluded an "unsolved" option, because many people would forget to update their thread after it became solved.

Your idea is a good one, however at the moment it wouldn't be effective because we don't allow users to edit their posts after a certain amount of time has passed.
