Or just forget the { in an if statement, put it all in the 1 line and end it with a ; .

In PHP, there is more than 1 way to skin a cat.

The truth of the matter is that this is a good idea, and if there are people who have the time and dedication to do this, it would be great. I would mainly see this as a process to fix up security holes in hacks.

But it has to be a voluntary thing - maybe hackers who choose to go through this process can opt in.

We can't really force every hack author to go through this. Like I brought up earlier on, this may discourage new members from releasing hacks they cooked up late one night - it may be badly written, but it may be a great idea, and someone else who downloaded it may recode it and post it back up in the thread. Such a hack may not "pass" the initial review.

But really, a lot of badly written hacks, through the process of others downloading it and upgrading it, do get a lot of kinks fixed up. I can see the value of formalizing this - but like I said, it takes a LOT of time.

Besides Dark Visor, who else would have time to review the potentially thousands of hacks that will get released?
