My personal voting rules:
- First, I try to avoid giving the same user two votes in
the same thread. Especially when they are just saying
the same thing a second time.
- Second, if I think that the post is somehow un-professional,
I give it a --.
- Third, if I strongly diagree with what is being said,
I give it a null vote. (Sometimes, I wish there was a "I
vote not to vote on this" option, so I could see the
reputation of a node without having to modify it up or down).
- Fourth, if the node has no meaningful content, I
consider it.
- Finally, if I actually take the time to read and think
about what was posted, I typically give it a ++.
Some people might disagree with that final point, but
my philosophy is that any meaningful contribution is worth
something, even if its completely wrong or if it appears
to be a rediculously simple question / answer.

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).
