Here, you'll get requested, advised, scolded (if you persist) every time for top-posting. Since people respond better than that, I've never seen it come to moderator action. I've been moderating for a year or so I think and have had more trouble with persistent OT comments or threads. Most of my time by far is spent scanning the filter rejects to make sure good stuff gets through, helping newbies, and rescuing folks whose ISP has blacklisted us. Not hassling people. Fortunately.</div>

I propose we change the standard to top-posting to make Ubuntu-users more accessible.</div>
