Well, I am not as harsh as KM but I am willing to
vote a post down occasionally. I may have even
voted down the "chomp" one, simply because at the
top of every page in perlmonks there is a search
box. Enter "chomp" into this and you get a nicely
formatted man page all about chomp. Heck, I bet I
could even make some links to it:
chomp and chop. I save most of my votes for positive
votes. If I use those up and still have some left over,
then I vote down empty posts. Then
deragotory/off-topic/etc. posts. I also think that
someone could very easily vote a post like that down
and give a nice polite reply.
Voting down is not always meant as a dig at the post
or the poster, per se, but as a way of helping the
"better" questions filter to the top.

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.
