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 =)
To number numbers, Re-writing CGI.pm for one. And others whose content is not questionable, but are just
victims of the nasty "format your code with <pre>" meme that seems to have
acquired such a grip lately =)
