How about this scenario:

A troll posts a pretty bad question, and some monks get suckered into answering. Well, a more astute monk sends it to Nodes To Consider and it gets marked for deletion. The response to the node is still valid, so it shouldn't be removed, but the node makes no sense without the original post. Therefore that reply should have the original node text inlined, properly credited as not being a part of the original node, and made into a top level node. With one caveat: The author of that node, being duly suckered by a troll, has the option to delete the node. Furthermore, I don't think any replies should be allowed to a node that was orphaned. The original node was considered bad enough, and so that thread should be allowed to die.

Okay, a bit extreme, but that's just a suggestion. And vroom is "trolling" for suggestions, right?

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!

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.
