As I slowly climbed the XP ladder towards the seemingly impossible level of monk (let alone saint) I considered what I might do when I got there. Perhaps start over again with a new userID?

About XP: one measure that might be interesting would be a display not of absolute XP, but rather of some combination of number of recent posts and associated XP. Also, if the database contained XP broken down by source (just showing up, votes cast, votes received) that might also show some interesting statistics.

Happily, for current members all that extra 'stuff' isn't necessary -- we grow to recognize posters whose Perl-fu is strong (and whose is weak) and accord their posts the appropriate amount of attention.

It's a fun sort of meritocracy, this place.

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.
