Unfortunately, some monks vote-- without the benefit of an explanation. FWIW, I have been hit with a couple of these, but that's not my motiviation, as this does not further perl, perl development, nor the author's knowledge of why his/her writeup "sucked."

As an extentsion to that, today I noticed that some coward really bashed reptile's Thought I\'d Give it a Shot.

What would other monks think of having the IP address of the poster displayed on every reply? That way one could tell by association what user was most likely to have posted a flame if he re-logs on as an Anonymous Monk. Something along the lines of

I know we are all pretty paranoid (at least I am), but I really don't think that should be such a big issue. I would assume that most of use posting here are doing so behind a firewall or packet filter of some sort (I know I am).

• 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.
