Approving a node just means that it will show up in a section. A minor sanity check by users that are (supposedly) experienced enough to know better than letting a post saying 'Some dude wanted my script, so I ****** it and gave it to him' (You may remember seeing this in newest nodes for a while, but it never made a section).

And, you'd have to promise not to edit comments if someone started hammering on them (I'm not starting anything here, but any recollections of that happening in the last few weeks?)

Admittedly, I can't see a major difference between editing a top level node and a reply node. One difference may be that top level nodes show up on the respective pages, and are more "visible" than other nodes, so it prevents someone posting something innocuous, then changing it to a nasty-gram. Just a theory, tho.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that once you've been around a certain time, AND made a certain number of posts, AND have a certain level of XP, you should be able to edit your top level nodes... Kind of a 'with rank cometh priviledge' kinda thing.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
