hey all--
One of the things that makes Ultimate my favorite sport to play is a clause in the official rules regarding the Spirit of the Game. It is this clause that allows all Ultimate, even high-level competitive games, to be adjudicated by the players themselves. Many feel that this is one of the defining points of Ultimate, and I tend to agree.
It occured to me that we rely on a similar spirit-driven system, and so I present for your approval:

Spirit of the Monastery:
Perlmonks
relies upon a spirit of fellowship which places the responsibility for
brotherly conduct on the individual Monk.
Highly opinionated and informed contributions are encouraged, but never at the expense of
mutual respect among Monks, adherence to the agreed upon rules of the
Monastery, or the basic joy of perl.
Protection of these vital elements serves to eliminate adverse conduct
from the Monastery.
Such actions as taunting of other Monks, aggression in posts, belligerent
intimidation, intentional disrespect, or other self-aggrandizing
inconsiderate behavior are contrary to the Spirit of the Monastery
and must be avoided by all Monks.

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).
