I believe it is ok if someone asks something like this:
Code:
Ok somebody create me a Hello World C Program
Right now you're thinking about some options as answers:
  1. STFU
  2. We don't answer homework problems
  3. Please use code tags
  4. Code:
    #include <stdio.h>

// Our program starts here.
// main always returns an integer
int main(
   void )   // No input values for function main
{
   // Output hello world onto the console
   
   puts( "Hello World" );

   // Make sure the program doesn't just *Flash* onto the screen

   getchar( );

   // Return application successfully
   
   return 0;
}
My support for this thinking:
The first 3 options does not help anyone. The 4th option helps you.

If we always use the 4th option this is what we get:
Benefits:
- The people who want to learn shall learn
- Less pointless posts
- Helps the poster out because he/she is practicing more
- Thread hi-jacking to share intellectual knowledge about the topic

Debenefits:
- The question spawner might just copy/paste the code and turn it in.
