These are fine, IMO:

- Here is my specification of what the program should do /--/. I'm stuck at x, (optionally: here is my code), where do I go from here?
- Is this implementation of x (code follows) fine in terms of parameters y and z? Where parameters could be execution speed, memory use, readability, portability, libraries/APIs used etc etc.
- Similarly, what tools/libraries are suitable given a certain specification.
- Can someone explain how this open source code works or how the person who wrote it were thinking? (code follows) Assuming I know fundamental stuff such as the programming language used in the code.
- Requests for general design or code review may or may not be OK, no consensus reached so far.

These are not OK:

- Write code for me requests. Very rude. Should lead to user suspensions.
- I'm working in a crappily documented hobbyist project where we have no specification, coding standards or documentation but just merrily hack away. Now everything is a complete mess, help!
- I don't understand anything about this code, including the basics of the programming language used. Can someone explain _everything_ to me, so I don't need to study programming.
- What's best... without specifying the "best" criteria.
- Where can I find the manual/documentation for x?
- Where can I find study material?
- Where can I find or download libraries or code?
