As I come to know monks by their postings, I've been tempted
to ask to see the "reputation" scores of their postings
without having to vote on them myself -- in hopes of finding
gems more easily.
But then... my own "best-scoring" nodes happen to be really trivial,
and just scored high because they happened to appear early on a thread that
got a lot of readers (because it was such easy reading, I
guess).
I thought for a while that the ratio of XP / number of postings
might be a good measure, but then I found a friar with only
14 postings -- maybe this person has done a lot
of voting, becuase the posts I looked at didn't seem that
strong. (Okay, I didn't look at all of them, but I think I
saw enough that this person could have had at least one post
on the "best nodes of all time" list... but didn't.)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
