It's perfectly possible to, rather then the interface you gave (which is somwhat clunky), look for strings of the form ...++, and ++ the user given in the brackets. (You'd have to use some subtlety so that $foo[3]++ wouldn't ++ the user named 3, even if you accidently left off the code tags, and, for that matter, so that ++foo works. Not too much of a problem, might just exclude the few monks with all-numeric names.)

Weather this is worthwhile is another question. I think a 1/5 chance of gaining an XP per mention is worthwhile.

I'll wait to see what the gods think before starting a patch, though.

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.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
