This is one Q & A Editor's perspective...

Long ago, there was a flurry of Q&A work to do. There was a steady stream of posts made in the Q & A section that really belonged in SoPW. Now, QA Editors have a nifty tool to move those posts in one fell swoop. There were a lot of posts that needed cleanup, many duplicates, etc...

Nowadays, things are pretty stable. I like to check the new questions and answers from the Newest Nodes page (BTW, those still show up in Newest Nodes, right? I haven't seen any lately), cleaning up anything I see. Vote up the good ones, kill anything ridiculous...

If you're really interested, petition a god or someone who can bless you into the position, pointing them to some of your most helpful, quality-conscious, community-oriented posts and see what happens.

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
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
