I'm still not really convinced.Personally, I'd answer science questions quite happily, but I can't imagine there'd be much interest. I'm inclined to think that it'd be quite a small group of people answering the questions. It all falls back on incentive, which we ultimately lack.
2x points would be a nice incentive
Thanks you get thanks
Rep plus
no post count to prevent spammers going you suck thats a *&^%%&^ question
A sticky saying "Be polite"
Plus some people just plain like helping people like me =)

Yes, all the above totally makes me want to do people's homework.
I used to get paid $50 per essay I wrote in high school. Sorry, but a thanks and +rep isn't going to cut it.

This.
Except I would do your essay for $30. :D
Anyhow I wouldn't mind answering science and math as I enjoy those two subjects, but you're also going to run into the problem of people feeding shit for giggles.
and if the person who needs help actually needs help with a problem like 2x = 10 there's a good chance that they will also be gullible enough to believe BS like that.
It's different than inaccurate information as there are enough bums on the forum that would do something like this for entertainment that it could happen.

There cant be 2 equal signs in there =(
Have people who are not lurkers help you trust someone with like 150+ posts, not someone with 1-149 =)

Intelligence, as well as honesty and trustworthiness, are not measured by post count.
I believe this to be a solid idea, however it requires a little bit of refining. As stated several times over and over again by the people before me, there would be a lot of general spam and +1 posting.
My suggestion:
Create a specific sub-member group that doesn't effect general appearance on the forums at all. This group would be titled "Homework Helpers" or something similar. Of course, the group would be rather large, to insure correct answers as well as to be active when they are needed.
The sole purpose of this group would be to determine who could be counted on as a reliable source of correct answers. The members who could successfully complete the above goal would be placed in this member group, and the permissions for the board would be set so that only them and the topic starter could reply to the topic, thus mostly eliminating the chance for deceiving the topic originator.
The only problem I can see is determining who the reliable answer givers are from the ones who aren't, as without everyone being able to post in the section, you wouldn't be able to prove yourself.
I didn't see this suggestion when I went through the topic earlier, but if someone has already posted it, I'll happily remove this part of my post.
I'm just spit balling ideas here, hoping to help a bit.

Because of the fact that I still don't see this working out well, if you're so convinced it will, why don't you make a thread in spam and see whether or not it works out?

Add to reputation for posts you find useful.
It's a good idea in theory. But I think there are forums specifically made for those purposes. I don't see why GZP should take up this niche. It has special niche..which is gaming..not for homework aide.

Agreed, Gamerzplanet is for people that play games or want to trade/sell, not do homework =P
