New users of Ask Ubuntu often post outputs of commands in comments (mostly without formatting it as code) when other users ask them output of commands.

The code needs to be in the question and it is tough for a normal user to copy the code and format it as code (with proper spaces), especially if it is multi-line code, and add it in the question.

In these kinda situations, what should a user do:

1. Try their best to format the code properly but mess up

2. Ignore

3. Flag the comment as

   Something else.
   A problem not listed above. Try to be as specific as possible.

   and notify moderators as they can "edit ... any comment at any time".
