/prog/ etiquette


although we love to complain about spam/shit posts, i believe
that given the ε-amount of moderation that goes on here we're
not doing too badly.

writing a bot to destroy /prog/ would be about 5 minutes of
work (2 minutes in racket), yet /prog/ seems to survive and
thrive. I am curious to find out why this is.

• It's polite.
• Threads in /prog/ don't get deleted, there's no reason to bump a thread.
• New threads will always be on top, old threads progressively go out of the frontpage.
• It maintains the layout of the frontpage, when you refresh the page, you're more likely to find a thread were it was before.
• You can bump a thread without getting flamed, but you need a good reason, like ``the frontpage was full of spam''.
