Over moderation

Hello,

I understand the mods here have a job to do, but I do want to point out that occasionally you guys make judgements too quickly, and it can have a negative effect on the community when mistakes are made.

For example:

A previous post of mine

 

EDIT: Wow, I am careless. I found the problem. I used the OR logical operator incorrectly. I needed to restate the variable like this:

If $hparr[$i] = 16768669 Or $hparr[$i] = 15849372 Then $playercount += 1

NOT like this:

If $hparr[$i] = 16768669 Or 15849372 Then $playercount += 1

The difference is that the latter is interpreted as: "If this color is gold OR if 15849372 = 15849372 then do this.

was locked by SmOke_N for merely containing the word "playercount" and "gold." 

 

Gold + Player Count = Forum Rules

 

However, what I'm actually talking about is GOLD THE COLOR (16768669) and P-Layer Count (Used in my script for counting the objects in a layer labeled P).

I'm sure this was an honest mistake, so no hard feelings, but jumping the gun based on mere variable names is a little harsh. Particularly when the rest of the code clearly shows in context that the purpose is within forum regulations.

After a certain point, attempts to enforce the rules can cause your community to seem unwelcoming to new members. Please be more patient in the future.
