Couldn't have said it better myself.

LOL And I believe you would do that just to prove it happened here. LOL

Precisely.

Mark it whatever you feel like, I will still release it under a guise of a useful hack.

@Dark Visor
A prettyprinter is a Software/Script that parses source-code, and outputs it again formatted as you specify/like.
For exampe, a well-known prettyprinter for HTML is HTMLTidy.

Then that will show how useless you really are 0_o.

I'm not a coder and can NOT read the code any one of the coders post so I have to rely on what is posted by the coders who post.

If a mod or a plug in does NOT work because a piece of the code is in the wrong place, *I* have NO clue how to fix it. And 99 times OUT of 100, I come back in here and get YELLED at by the coder cause they think it's MY fault for trying to install their mod/plugin the wrong way.

Example: I just HAPPENED to notice when I was looking at the detail listing of my files that one of the mods I had downloaded from here had the ext of xml.xml. Now how in the *bloody hell* is that MY fault? Had we had an oversight committee, I don't think that would have gotten thru.

I don't think a labeling system is a good idea. Just don't let the codes that are not valid out to the public, plain and simple. I mentioned comparing it to the DL, well you wouldn't let a non driver out on the road, why let a code that isn't ready out to the public to be downloaded? And if you are uncomfortable with who has volunteered, then nominate a committee or something.

If a community like phpbb can do it, surely we can. Are we too soft to follow the standards set by Jelsoft? Jelsoft wants it's vbulletin to be XHTLM 1.0 transitional W3C compliant.

Yelling at each other and calling each other names aren’t showing the regular members who happen to be reading this thread any professionalism. A suggestion was made that has valid points and it has become a shouting match.

Gentlemen/Ladies, come down off your high horse and grow up. If you are coders by profession, then coding to a standard will not be a problem, it would be an honor. It would mean that you have met Jelsoft's standards. Liz

Wait a second. DV are you bluntly stating that you will release code that will destroy a users database. Such as post, threads, forums, ect... ?

The standards aren't the problem. Labeling coders is.

That is exactly what he is saying.
