These sempiternal questions are raised every now and then. And I know there is yet one more thread on the question, but I can't tease it out of super search.
Last week I happened to look at TMG a few times, and noticed that nothing new had been posted. So I looked at SoPW to see what could go up, and guess what, I couldn't find anything worthy. Just standard run-of-the-mill questions.
I ended up finding a couple of good threads, which, as an added bonus I had not participated in. Even more questionable than FPing your own nodes is to get in the first post to a question and then FP the node. Answers to questions tend to receive more votes than the question itself, especially if the question was posted anonymously.
I have been toying with the idea that next time I frontpage a node I'll announce the fact in the CB. If that was a habit that caught on, we wouldn't need a mechanical solution. Part of what makes the site work so well is the amount of tacit agreement there is between participants as to what is The Right Thing to do.

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.
