No multi-line comments (Score:1)

Don't use multi-line comments. If you have a piece of code that requires a multi-line comment, rewrite it so it doesn't need to many lines of comment.
Remember, the number 1 red flag for complicated code is the existence of a blob of comments.

  Well that is no fun and I *like* multi-line comments. I am not saying what you are suggesting is wrong...just not my *preference*. I just found it cool and thought I would mention it.
