What if we did a code auto-formater?

Maybe it could solve the problem of new people not formatting their code.

If there was a way to disable it, that'd be fine. But I don't know of a good way to implement such a feature in the context of this forum. It's another one of those things where it'd be a lot of extra work for twicker to very little benefit.

by formatting, do you mean

int main() {
    cout<<"hello world"
     getchar();
}

vs this

int main() {
cout<<"hello world"
getchar();
}

or do you mean not using code tags?

The problem of new people not formatting their code is the mostly the problem of new people not using code tags and an automatic formatter wouldn't help that at all.
