It really doesn't matter how often and empathically you ask people to share the entirety of the code that they are asking for help with; they'll still try to "extract the relevant parts" to "help".
Like, I understand that it is with good intentions, but please please *please* just give me the full unmodified code. Reading 'unnecessary' code costs me orders of magnitude less time and energy than an extensive back-and-forth to figure out which crucial part you cut out (which you thought was not relevant, but was relevant after all).

"But I know what part is relevant!"
If you really knew where the problem was, then you would likely already have found it. And to be clear, there's nothing wrong with needing help to find an error, but you *do* need to acknowledge that that limits your ability to determine relevancy of different parts of the code, and leave that job to whoever is helping you with it!
