Why am I suggesting this, which may be seen as a step back on a good functionality to save valuable space in the always crowded forums? Well I'm sure you've noticed that many user posts do not leverage the [ code ] tag. Of course I can only speculate about the reasons: maybe it's because people tend not to read the instructions and maybe don't even know or care about tagging or formatting... but that doesn't sound like the typical poster, who must be able to read very carefully in order to solve any challenge at all... well, in many cases my guess is that the reason behind this is more "human": the urge to...boast
I mean, we invest time and effort into solving the challenges and probably want to make sure, as our only reward, that everyone sees and appreciates our beautiful code and ingenious solution at first glance (not hidden behind a click), and we're willing to sacrifice all the bells and whistles of keyword highlighting and readable fonts to this end. I'm proposing the feature to be optional for the cases where the code is too long or unpleasant, in other words, to allow for a personal aesthetic / ego choice when presenting to the world our hard-worked-on solutions...Do you agree with my cheap geek-psychology analysis? would that change of behaviour be doable without too much effort?
