Sure, stop advertising here and start contributing.

Your website advertises "We'll complete your entire programming
assignment, no matter how small or how big, on time for a small fee. "

Where is the "teaching" in there? It looks like intellectual dishonesty
to me and is grounds for expulsion/failure in many schools.

No, just unethical and a disservice to students. It also ticks off
teachers who are trying to get students to do the necessary work. Of
course, now that you've so conveniently advertised, perhaps part of an
assignment will include a short interview with each student who must
explain how the program works and where the ideas came from. Nothing
like a short grill session to see who ACTUALLY did the work.

Advertising is almost universally frowned on in usenet.
comp.programming was set up for the purpose of answering questions, so
the questions are on-topic, the ads are off-topic.

You sound like a telemarketer whining about how unkind it was of us to
sign up for the "do not call" registry.
