Thread: Code tag problem

Code tag ([CODE.]...[/CODE.]) is now a real problem. We should be able to solve this problem by disscussing it here. Here are some solutions disscussed up to now (which I remember):

Code:

S1- Code tag script which will only notify you that your post has some not tagged code.
S2- Auto code tagger (which is the best I think).
S3- Code tag button.
S4- Code tag warning pop-up for newbies.
S5- Forcing code tag for people with less than a number of posts.
S6- Hiring somebody to add code tags for newbies.

S2 and S4 are good I think.

Please send your ideas here.
Most important it needs especial attention of admins.

I like the Solution 4.

S1.

It's how it was before and it worked. Far less untagged posts than we have now.

Nothing like not being able to post to turn any newbie into a faithful adept of code tags.

If we didn't worry about code tags, what would we bicker about?

You forgot about boycott,

Why boycott somebody for not knowing something? This is why this thread has been opened.

[EDIT]
About sig, no one will see it before his/her post. So it is useless, like mine.

[EDIT2]

Other code help forums do just fine without worrying about code tags at all. Try not to worry so much about it.

This can be a solution. The problem is not only a code without tag, but the reaction of members.

[EDIT3]
Just telling what solution you think is good is not enough, you should consider other's idea and make new solutions.

Why admins don't pay attention to us?

Boycott what? Posts that don't use code tags? That wouldn't solve anything as they'd never understand why noone replied. I say we use a script. Even with it's flaws it's still better than nothing. Seriously, it's rediculous now. Nearly half the code posts have no tags these days.

USE CODE TAGS

Every time, until we annoy the admins enough

I was going to say that too...

If you wanna make admins angry, OK do that. But if you wanna do something useful finish bombing threads (max's solution).
