If you delete the examples, how is a new user going to figure out what kind of material is inappropriate to post? If a post is so egregiously trollish that it is downvoted to the point that it negatively impacts the XP of the poster, that acts as a brake on future behaviour of the same sort.

What I would like to see is a poster's XP score next to every post and reply from that person. That would help a reader of the site see how credible a posting is, or at least give a reader some insight into what kind of community participation the poster has.

That XP note should be static. Things I posted as an initiate should be shown as being from an initiate, I've learned a lot since then :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
