Gustavo, you need to use caution when releasing code.
Your errors will crash servers and make people unhappy and shout at you. Until someone else says your code is ready or finished, it is not.
Look at Higors or Loathsomes release threads. They always use caution and clearly label test files as Alpha. Beta or RC.
Until they get positive feedback, even these experienced coders do not say their work is done. They will warn users about odd behaviour.
You post some stuff and say "Look what I did".
When you arrived here you complained that you are not welcome in some other sites. This is exactly why some sites ban you.
Here we favour giving you a chance to learn first, and you are lucky I am a person.
Nelsona, at no point have I disagreed with you, but this is a public forum where everyone is allowed to post good or bad stuff
We do not have a rule about crappy broken code. We rely on comments from knowledgeable users so that others know to avoid something.
(Sort of like looking at the app reviews on google play). Would you complain to Google about hosting badly coded apps, or leave a bad review ?
Locking or deleting stuff because it is of poor quality is just disrespectful (however useful it may be).
We would have to add a new rule to cover bad coders.
I agree, the swearing in here is getting out of hand, but notably it usually comes from members that know better.
We ask for people to re-edit their own words, not censor them ourselves. Some get round to it, others don't.
Any time we edit or delete someone's post we are criticised for being heavy-handed and power-crazed.
Would users prefer it if we went through all members posts and delete anything we object to ?
Reading Gustavos posts makes you angry, so your choice to avoid them makes perfect sense to me.
His and your bad English do not help.
I am trying to improve his English, and teach him some manners and respect for those that came before him and their knowledge.
I don't expect miracles, but he is a 12 year old with an attention deficiency, so any improvement is a bonus.
Kids simply don't understand long-term consequences, and that only comes with time and hitting brick walls.
Getting angry at him will not make him change.
He does not know about such things as "Internal Release" or "Release Candidate", or that in our day, Alphas were only for internal use, and only working Betas are public.
We now live in a stupid world that thinks public Alphas are a good idea, so he has no useful template.
I am not sure why the accusations about the site rules being changed (See for yourself, last change was in 2015),
Rule No.1 of this site is a long-standing rule, and has not been added for the sake of this thread.
As for this nonsense about girls, joints and paedophiles (WTF !?) I don't recall any conversations like that in here.....until now.
Rule 1 is a general rule for life, and if you stick to it, all the other rules look after them selves.
Off-topic text-wall
No, I don't avoid "discussions" Kelly. I avoid one-sided character assassinations, lest I resort to it also (that and "water off a ducks back").
I knew you would leap on this like a dog on a bone, but unless you intend to contribute to this thread, you are just aiding it's derailment.
No Irony in me referring users to the rules, they are still there and still valid. If you don't agree with them, that is another matter.
If you do not agree with Rule No.1 say it now, and say it clearly. However if you agree with rule no.1, why not act upon it, rather than going against it ad nauseam ?
As you seem to still want to rag that old chew-toy, lets clear up that BS now.
When I posted "that post", I was not inviting political discussion as I am the only active UK member here, and clearly stated so. Only another UK resident had the right or need to get offended at an apology to the EU.
What happened goes beyond politics and anything ever planned for in any book of rules, on any site. It was an exceptional circumstance, never to be repeated.
My apology to my EU neighbours had nothing to do with support of any political party. Nothing to do with voting 1 way or another, Nothing to do with the shift of power. You made it into that, not me.
It was a heart-felt apology for the growing storm we have unleashed because of Xenophobia and fear.
You obviously feel otherwise, but Xenophobia as far as I am aware is not a valid basis for genuine politics, same as punching someone to the floor to show your superiority is not.
However both are a basis for a power-shift, so therefore are politics by the literal dictionary definition. Yes contrary to popular opinion I do know what it means and the etymology (note: I prefer the Cambridge dictionary to the Oxford dictionary). "Shifting of power from one place to another" and as such, charging batteries is also politics, so is sport, playing a match of UT, and so is appointing moderators in a forum.
It was originally a word used to describe the running of a city or community, but now refers to alignment and status. Left vs Right, Up vs Down, Positive vs Negative, it becomes arbitrary once a word no longer means what it did, and it is a word commonly used outside of "Partisan Politics".
People exercise personal and social group politics all the time, and that also has no connection to which way a person votes in an election, because we filter things into context.
Each time you put so much effort into making me look small, you by definition are exercising a modern political act, but as the context does not relate to the intent behind the no-politics rule, I don't make that connection.
Context is everything,
You have repeatedly gone out of your way to stick the boot in at anything I say you don't like (which seems to be everything).
You chose to kick my apology in the groin so you could win a round in your thing you have going on.
My post did not affect anyone except you it seems, as no one else felt the need to turn it into a conversation, only commiserating or congratulating.
The rule is there about Politics to stop people from sticking the boot in or becoming argumentative.
No-one felt any reason to argue with my post (because I gave none), or to tell me I was right or wrong. Everyone behaved like a Gentleman or Lady, everyone behaved like grown-ups, just as I expected.
All but 1. You
You felt the need to drag it into the ditch, not me.
You felt the need to make it about taking a political stance, not me.
You felt the need to devalue another humans sorrow for their fellow Europeans future, not me.
What did I do ? I bent a rule written in a web site that does not affect any of our day to day lives.
Enjoy your gloating and jibes. Keep it up, they mark you out as an aggressive and troubled man.
