Having a voting/experience system will be a good thing...I think
the structure vroom's got now is going to be fairly okay at
keeping down XP-whores and encouraging valuable community
participation. But I also think that the real value of the
site is that if a person asks a (well-framed) question, there
is at least one answer posted even before the question gets to
the gates. It's a faster and better way of getting
information than newsgroups and IRC, and way easier
on the ego than asking Tom Christiansen.
Which is why I support chromatic in the idea of extra
rewards for good answers. I don't care about particulars of
implementation, but I think it is important. Funny poll comments
just should not be worth as much as excellent answers.

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).
