( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

liverpole, it might be worse than you think. I started uncovering a few of these myself. Not only did someone lift a question from elsewhere, someone else lifted the answer from the same site!

I started noticing a pattern, it seems that one account was routinely used to post decent questions (albeit lifted from their rightful owners) while another account was used to post correct answers. <conspiracy-mode>As if XP were so important to someone that they created a new account to boost the XP of their original account.</conspiracy-mode>

This is really ridiculous. You're right, it is disrespectful. It is demeaning. It is frustrating. It does lower the standards.

jcoxen's solution seems pretty fair. Assuming that doesn't happen (as suggested in the CB, it may well not), we just need to be on the lookout for their posts and do a little research before approving. If at all.

For sake of completeness, and perhaps to save you some more work, I stumbled across these:

It's obvious we've got to do something, as the original posts from those users I haven't commented on have already been spotted by others.

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.
