To enforce a valid coding style in the community!

You do not seem to understand that noone would put anybody down... In contrast, we would try to put everybody up...

Both do the same thing, one is just eaiser to read.

Doesn't readability matter? Since it does matter, the code becomes invalid according to reability preference of non-masochist people...
There is also a horizontal scroll which is a negative element of any design. (Here, we are designing the code...)

Still you are saying "putting down". You seem to be unable to understand how it's gonna be done, in spite of my best attempts at showing you a nice, friendly way of doing it. That is highly annoying.

Ah you see some people do it on purpose, they are not able to argumentize properly, so they will simply try to revert anything said by others against those who said it (esspecially if what was said is already obsolete), while repeating their own point of view over and over...

It is possible to write code that is 100% working properly (according to the specification) without ever testing it.
However, this takes a loooong time as you have to proof it (eg. assertions, loop invariants, etc.)

And we all know Kirby's hacks work right the first time, huh, buddy?

[akanevsky]

come on take responsibility, it was your idea, you put it forward, i wasn't referring about implementation, i was referring to the act of the idea being put forward

You are right, I put forth the idea and I am taking the responsibility for it.
Now, what I meant was that what the QA team would work with others in a team effort with other QA members...

ps. people skills DV remember cleavage, cleavage

English please?

The latter isn't an more readable that the former IMHO, but the former is, erm, marked as...

It is a more readable version, because in the first version the two lines look "stuck together", which make it uneasy to separate them in case of an edit... In the latter way of doing it, however, it has a lot of space around, giving some room to the coder (for example, if he wants to put in a comment.. or anything else). This is the same as breaking long texts into paragraphs. It is just easier to read for those who read it.

I'm too old for that sh!t.

Come on, what kind of language is that... You are a moderator. Set a good example...

And no matter what you say now, if someone had tried to label you when you first started out, you might not have ever gotten to where you are now.

Since the very beginning, I would be more than happy if someone criticized my code and rated it...

The exact reason why vB.org doesn't need this system. Your ignorance shows, and I will no longer post my opinions in this thread. If such a system would come about, then I would no longer release my work here. I don't need some ignorant team to tell me that my code isn't valid when indeed it works.

"SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = '$bbuserinfo[userid]'"
"SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]"
"SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = ".$bbuserinfo['userid']

So which of those is, erm, best?

by putting a "unvalidated" sticker on their hack thread? oh ++++ wait i should go back and check the first post to make sure you've not changed your mind about that one so i can 'argumentize' with you properly

you shouldn't encapulate numbers but at the same time [sql]"SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = " . intval($bbuserinfo[userid]) . ""[/sql]would probably be the stardard set for a gold-star according to this thread

[akanevsky]

What an arrogant statement, I don't care if a hack is one line, you should still test it. No one is that perfect, allthough it's obvious some think they are.

Ah... I see. So, should I test

PHP Code:

$a = 2 + 2; 


, every time I write it? That would be just pointless.

And we all know Kirby's hacks work right the first time, huh, buddy?

I didn't test much of Kirby's hacks, but if you see some of mine you will see that they work right from the first install... Unless there are some addons on requests that I implement...

Exactly. As I stated in that same post you just quoted, there would be no stickers on the non-passed posts... You just skipped over it, huh? Way to go, buddy.

my bad you just said you weren't the idea leader thus that really held no weight, unless i decided so, ok bud
