Maybe a good check to add would be:
if(($reputatiuon < 50 )||( $isAnonymousMonk)){
#check to apply auto CODE tag formatting
}
Monks w/ more than 50 reputation points should know how to
use code tags and deserve to be flamed if they don't.
This check would prevent those of us who know better
from having things we don't want
code taged to be auto-code-tagged
by mistake.
The "auto-code-tag" process should also
alert the user
that their post was auto-code-tagged and advise them how
to use code tags in the future.
