I look for a question that is "unusual" in some respect, one that goes beyond a mere FAQ and requires more than a link to a prior thread or a perldoc page. That doesn't mean that I might not think about FPing a post that is incredibly stupid but has received some outstanding replies that are ingenious in how they point that out. :)
That said, if a question that would otherwise be thought of as run-of-the mill has generated some especially thoughtful answers I will FP it. But overall, I rarely FP something myself, relying instead on the judgement of other, more experienced monks than myself to do so.
It helps to remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
