I think that there shouldn't be trimming in content between the code tags.

This is a problem when writing code with indentation:

For example:

Code

while (true) {
    if (something) {
  doSomething();
  if (!something) {
    doSomethingElse();
  }
    }
}

Also with numbers in code, for example 55/55/55 (ignore the /'s, they are there to stop it from formatting) turns into 55

Not a bad idea, same thing should also be done for images or this limitation should be removed completely.

I understand it is for stopping lqps, but we can always report them.

I agree with this suggestion fully.

But unsure on how it'd be implemented.

Do you mean that all tabs and spaces are gone? If so I agree totally, its very anoying if you post code and the whole format is gone.

I agree with this. Posting neat code is a nightmare of invisible characters and copy paste tabs.

[Phaxol]

Totally support this idea. it gets annoying sometimes if you have repeating characters and it formats it. I hate it.

[Immortal]

I am pro this idea it would help out alot :D

Thanks for your support guys, I hope to see this implemented in the forum :-P

Well... I'm against this.
What about when people date things? I constantly date activity checks/reviews for Rhythm, threads when I post my articles for the news in Writers, etc.

What does that have to do with the white-space/repeat-character trimming?
If anything, this would solve a lot of problems that users are having.

Have my support. I have to paste my code into my Pastebin instead so it's formatted correctly.

That has nothing with formatting the things in the code tags. The code tag is for codes and nothing else.

I agree with this and whitespace is important to some languages, especially Python.

In theory it sounds nice but practically I think it can be a source for abuse.

Another thing to do it then. Make code tags not count towards the character counting in posts. That way there isn't too much it can be abused with ^_^

What are some abuses people could do?
