Well, before I even start posting let it be stated I am not a coder of this community ( other than HTML ) therefore I am not aware of the "coding standard" of which you speak, but if I am getting this straight you would like for a group of "advanced coders" to get together and look around and mark hacks that they believe are flawless in functionality and mark them as "perfect". Well answer me this question, What about the beginning coders? Guy comes in and makes a hack that alot of people love using, but he also sees that the hack has been up for a while and was not marked as perfect. Does this not discourage the coder? It would me! Just as boofo said it reflects back on the coder and his style of coding and discourages him, if I come to a community and release a "hack" but I am discouraged with grief of not having the right "coding format" or being "n00b" I simply wont release a hack.
The plain and simple point is, is that without coders this site would DIE..simple as that..without the volunteers among us that take there time and energy to code...this site simply would not last and we would be with default vB or we would have to code ourselves without any help from a community.
Now, I am not going to get into a "name calling" fight..but the fact that you dare come here and make many posts discouraging the members of this community is sick and wrong. hellsatan makes hacks for this site and his own, he is gracious enough to release whatever code he makes free of use and he should be thanks for that ( along with plenty of others who have done this also, boofo, livewire, danny, sabret00the...everyone ) If you have your ideas of a "perfect world" where everyone code is perfect and flawless..that is fine...make a site and charge a monthly fee for it ( cause it seems you are so set on making money I see ) But you remember that you started out somewhere also, just like everyone else. Please do not be an ass on this site, I have rarely seen you make a thread in good mind set.
That is all I have to say..and despite whatever name calling may come back up, I will not reply to it..I am just saying what I believe.
