Just finished browsing through the rest of these - and I will say point blank - the direction you are headed scares me - How dumb would it be to send something back to someone because they didnt put table prefixs in? Or something like that - when it takes probably less time to just fix it and get it released - nobody gets hurt, the community benifits by the hack being available, the hack writer gets feedback and knows next time to do that - if the same person keeps doing that, it takes one skim to see that, and the third time just hand it back then and say - "come on dude - we told you the other two times we need these table prefixs in it" just get those added and we will then look at it" - and still say then, that you have not looked at the code all other than to notice they missing prefixes so this is no rejection of anything cause nothing has been looked at.

Got to actually help, and in doing so, as corny as it sounds, inspire others to create more. Need no grading - which leads to praise - which is great - but what about the opposite end. There is no good with out bad in that system. The bad makes the good not worth having.
