As pointed out this can become quite a task, my idea
is simple, the poster make a short summary of the topic,
question,whatever, no more than $n lines, and this summary if approved can
then be posted in the frontpage, the pluses are, 1.) the monk will,
or should think hard before posting. 2.) the load for the moderators
is less. 3.) we can decide if we want to look at it.
Of course this has disadvantages, but it's just an idea.

• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
