Today:

  1. Re-writing CGI.pm was an obvious troll. (has since been removed)
  2. Why was indirect object syntax inferred here?o high-level user using pre tags!

Some others i might mention are more personal preference, just not anything i'd check the frontpage box for. Since a frontpage slot almost guarantees a high rep, i think they should somehow earn the spot. Requiring a node to be > $NORM (above average quality) should be the bare minimum IMHO.

Update: To answer LD2's question more clearly, the suggested minimum reputation would be greater than $NORM, which is a perlmonks variable that's calculated daily and reflects the average reputation of all nodes created during the past week. The current value of $NORM is 8.0911 (it's usually between 6 and 9) and can be found in Voting/Experience System.

/me appreciates the irony of this parent node's immediate promotion to the frontpage =)
