I'm not sure that's really sufficiently clear; a newbie might assume "any perl question about my site" goes there.

As an alternative, maybe use two SUBMIT buttons (or radioboxes) for lower-level monks, one which claims it's a perl-related question, the other that it's about the website, so they have the explicit choice; if they choose the perl-related option, give an error message instead of the normal submission-results:

sub generate_pmd_form { ... if(level($monk) < $n) { $pmd_form->add_submit("This post is about Perl"); $pmd_form->add_submit("This post is about the perlmonks website" +); } ... } ... sub process_pmd_submit { if($form_submit eq "This post is about Perl") { print err_message("wrong forum; you meant SOPW") return generate_pmd_form(); } ... normal submission acceptance ... }

... or maybe a Monk's first N posts to PMD should have the dual-option. Or maybe add an option to display settings that says "☐ I know what PMD is for, and will not post perl-related questions there (turns off the extra SUBMIT/RADIOBOXES for PMD submission)" (default unchecked for new users)

(edit: clarify the display setting defaults to unchecked)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
