How is posting an interesting link 'xp whoring'? I mean, if lots of other people have already seen it and its old, then no one will ++ them right? You are even free to -- them. That being said, what about those people who dont check 20 different news sites every day? I personally, generally find articles that are 'reccommended' by someone to be atleast mildly interesting, rarely are articles that are really boring recommended, think of it as kind of an 'editors choice' type thing. Making broad assumptions about all the other users, (possible) to their detriment, is bad.. That being said, i have two views on the idea of xp for sending in articles, one being that xp will encourage people to scour the web to find interesting and insightful articles to share with their brethren. The other view is that people will attempt to 'xpwhore' and post lots and lots of non-interesting articles (from whereever).

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.
