Some history: the auto-CW thing was instituted because I used my Stack overflow code golf question as a vehicle for rep-whoring (since getting rep via code golf used to be much easier than via "real" questions, back when there wasn't an explicit ban on non-CW golf questions). In fact, the person who asked for that feature specifically linked to my post as a reason. :-P
This is obviously irrelevant for this site, so I'd advocate that auto-CW be removed entirely.
