> "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"
-- Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
Die Wahrheit triumphiert nie, ihre Gegner sterben nur aus. (paraphrased variant)
- Truth never triumphs—its opponents just die out.
- Science advances one funeral at a time.
--- Max Planck
I never meant that we ditch the old saints list or selected best notes.
But "Gamification" is an important driving force of this site, and having better metrics will improve the motivation of new monks.
I'm also tired of telling people that the ranking here doesn't mean much in the "guru scale" of authority, power or influence.
The more metrics the better.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
