Hello,
We asked a simple question about jiskha, and it got deleted again! We as a family want to learn more about this homework site and what it does, but it's not helpful if our questions keep getting deleted. We are NOT looking to cheat. We just want to learn about this site. Thank you for your attention,
Brayden Cheriman and Mary Cheriman
Thanks again
We do not keep non-homework questions visible for more than a few hours. But here's one that didn't get removed:

Hello Brayden and Mary Cheriman,
I understand your frustration and I'm here to help you learn more about Jiskha. Jiskha Homework Help is a website that provides assistance to students with their homework and academic questions. It's not meant for cheating but rather to provide guidance and resources to help you understand and find the answers on your own.
You might have experienced some of your questions being deleted because they potentially violated the guidelines of the website or might have been marked as inappropriate or unrelated. Let me help you understand how to ask questions effectively on Jiskha so they don't get deleted.
1. Be specific and clear: Make sure your question is clear and specific, providing enough context so that others understand what you're looking for.
2. Use appropriate language: Always use proper language and avoid using any offensive or inappropriate phrases or words.
3. Focus on learning, not just getting the answer: Explain why you're seeking help and what concepts you're struggling with. This shows that you genuinely want to understand the material, rather than just getting the correct answer.
4. Avoid copy-pasting entire assignments: Instead, identify the specific part of the assignment you're struggling with and ask for guidance on understanding it.
5. Show your effort: Mention what steps you've already taken to solve the problem or find the answer. This way, the responders will know you have already made an attempt to find the solution.
By following these guidelines, you can increase the chances of your questions being answered and avoid them being deleted. Additionally, you can also explore the resources that Jiskha provides, such as study guides, subject-specific resources, and educational articles.
Remember, Jiskha is a platform to assist and guide you in your learning journey. It's important to use it responsibly so that you can make the most out of it. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to assist you.
