I would like to add my support to this suggestion as I spend much of my time at the tutorial node of PM.

A lot of the code that is posted to Monastry Gates and SOPW is over my head, so I tend to search for code that is on par to my current level of understanding.

Some of the tutorial nodes have a very high reputation and are of high quality, many are still gathering ++ votes when more than a year has passed since their first inception.

So dare I suggest that some special award, or category is created for these gems.

Or that they automatically be 'bumped up' to a higher level, when they attain a high reputation.

I would like to thank all who contribute to this code category.

Many new initiates join the Monastry every day; high prominence for the tutorial node would verify that the Monastry is not just a place for 'experts' but a place for everyone whatever their level of understanding to participate and enjoy this high quality web site.

The dogs bark; but the caravan rolls on.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
