My dear brother, marinersk, I applaud your sentiment and believe that all (or at least most) here are all in agreement regarding reasons for Consideration.

The war against one Monk's perceived incompetence

If I am guessing correctly about the identity of the individual in question then it is important for us to analyse their behaviour. Given the sheer quantity of misinformation contained in their posts over the years it seems scarcely credible that they are in fact that incompetent and the only conclusion which I can draw from the corpus is that they are feeding bad advice to wisdom seekers on purpose.

This is trolling, pure and simple. The cause does not matter to us (although it probably does to the monk in question and those who care for them) but the effect would be catastrophic if unchecked. With no other visible means at our recourse to respond without troll-feeding what is there left to do but Consider for reaping any such posts which can only aim to mislead?

Surely we are better than this...

I believe we are. The problem is that he is not. I feel that the best alternative to Consideration in this case is the proposal to flag down-voted posts in the standard view (either by progressively reducing the font size or greying out the text or whatever).

It was really great to be present during the 15 months or so of what will surely become known as the Modern Golden Age of PerlMonks. Alas that it is over and may never return!
