First off I agree with this post, and more, the spirit of it.Being an Abbot I have been participating in the consideration process for a little while now. Most of my considerations are "Needs Code tags" or "Needs a readmore".My questions are: Have the cleaning crew been messaging the people who are making questionable considerations? And if so what other actions/discussions have come out of that?I don't believe I have, but if so I would like to know! That being the only way I can change my behavior. I guess what I mean is that I hope you guys have been at least informing people when you think their consideration may be out of line. My consideration habits are what I would consider conservative, but they are learned from what I have seen and experienced on the site, many new Friars might be doing what they think is conscientious and trying to help. I hope the effort is been made to guide them on a personal level as well as the broader level with nodes like this.This community seems friendly enough that we should be able to work this out rationally, and I hope this post is a step in that direction. "Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!

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).
