Upon rereading my own text, my closing (or rather after-the-introduction) is very weak. The point that I meant to make is that homenoding, while defending against things that simply aren't of good enough quality to be on the homepage, produces an unfair rep difference between homepage and non-homepage nodes, and makes the homepage staler. (And thus makes the community seem less active.) I have very little against hidden reps and the moderation system (plenty of eyeballs for that one).
Thanks,

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.
