I agree with Salem on some points, but I'm doubtful how much good a short ban would do when most of the people only stay to get their problem fixed. And the people that do stick around longer eventually DO learn it, it's just the newbies that have problems.

The real problem is that everyone new that posts here is so caught-up in their own problems that they fail to see all the warning signs along the way. Too bad.

But can't you just remove formatting with the top-left button in the edit window that looks like a slanted 'A'?
