Impossible, as you already know that will diminish the team to 0. Just because I don't spend all my time helping other people in the PHP forum, doesn't make my opinion as a validator any less valuable. I know most of the standards by heart, and code from them the best I can (Im actively refusing to capitalise 'as' in foreach() statements though :p), so in what way does the fact that Im not seen in the PHP forum make me less worthy of a Validator position?
I am quite capable of offering a segment of code recoded/optimised/cleaned up.
In fact, Im offended by the wording you are using to describe how we would do our job. In no way did we intend to call the code shide, or ORDER a coder to fix it. We would send a notice to the coder sounding like so:

I doubt this is possible with regex, and we never said anything about disallowing un-compliant code. We would only disallow code that had serious flaws (such as security holes, noticeable performance drops, etc). |
