As I noticed before, there is no real standard for when to
frontpage a node, and I feel this is not sufficient. This morning I asked in CB why a particular
node was frontpaged, and it appeared some monks have really
different 'rules' for frontpages than I have (some others
act similar).
My ruleset goes like:
- I 'OK' a node if it's properly formatted, doesn't feel
trollish and it is posted in the right section. If it's not,
I go to CB and ask for other opinions. I may move it thereafter.
or consider it.
- I do not normally frontpage a node.
- If a node is really something of special beauty or importance,
I frontpage it. If I'm not sure, I go to CB for more opinions.
- I never frontpage my own nodes, as frontpaged nodes have
an unfair headstart.
The other monk said he frontpaged a node because he didn't
know the answer and didn't see any replies.
As always, the truth lies in the middle, and I'm probably
too restrictive. So, what do you think?

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).
