As a member who's only released a couple of hacks and is still a "beginner" in terms of coding for the uses of others, I know that if someone were to come along and either label my hack "inefficient", "poorly written", or "not quality assured" I probably wouldn't bother to even consider releasing hacks later down the line.
If you come across a hack that is so poor that it would harm the function of the forum, I think you should simply try and help the user who released it. Instead of "This hack is not quality assured and therefore is garbage", say "Well, around [this block], you could minimize the number of queries by doing [this]..." and the response you would receieve would most likely a thank-you.
This idea comes across as egotistical and sounds to me like a way to rub skill in the face of somebody who's still learning.
