Great! I didn't know I was allowed to do that, it seems the help pages omitted it. Good thing that Joel made that announcement :D Now, your answer @Jorge Castro, IS helpful, but I still think some changes could sure help this site get even better and bigger, enhancing new-user retention by using education to close the gap between an alienated agent and an active participant. I'd like more stackexchange sites to grow faster&clean from spam, to be as big as stackoverflow. We ubuntu users for example, could sure use some help.
