So, how does any of that affect Anonymous Monk? Well, it doesn't directly. But if Anonymous Monk posts something really good then it will appear in the Best Nodes list. In addition the voting on Anonymous Monk's posts still indicates to others what constitutes a good or bad post.

Your Anonymous Monk vote is not wasted. Indeed, just by casting it you are participating in the site (and for that there are rewards too) and by being involved are making the site work better.

  • 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.
