The first time I used an if/then/else action my mind was blown.

Damn, the possibilities WITHIN ONE TRIGGER!!!

@Mozared: Go I see what you did there.... ohhh you.

@SoulFilcher: Go

I don't see what I did there.

What did I do there?

You said your mind was blown...

With one trigger.

E.g. the trigger of a gun

@FenixKissKerrigan: Go

Oh wow, now I see.

Apparently I'm subconsciously that awesome!

What is it then?

But you're still the better moderator. Can't say the same to other easily butt pained moderators... No one in particular.

'Cant say the same', Yes, Always best not to say anything that can get you banned. That includes saying something stupid/acting as a smart-ass and the like. Just throwing a random tip for all given this opportunity.

I'd have to disagree.

@Vicboy: Go

Irrelevant. Rules are fixed.

Im sure if a joke was sent through a PRIVATE MESSAGE, the user had no intentions of shaming the "authoritative" figure nor had the intention to harm the forums the "authoritative" figure was in charge of.

It is my belief that moderators are supposed to protect the forums, not themselves. Others may not share that belief, others believe that it was righteous for the Texan authorities to imprison (and thus ruin the life of) a 19 year old for what was supposedly a terrorist threat.

Now in a hypothetical situation where a user was banned for a private "insulting" message to a hypothetical moderator, it is no longer a use of the moderator's privileges to protect the forums but to benefit himself. HIMSELF. That's what the hypothetical moderator is doing: Using his admin-given privileges to benefit himself.

Now, would that user be still mad about the 3 day ban after months? Yes, because now he sees a hypothetical moderator exercising his admin-given privileges for his own benefit. Disgusting for the hypothetical user, I'm sure about that.

Hey guys, to stay on topic, I'm currently learning C + +, will it be easier to learn Java by then?

(Also good night!)

I agree, better to stay on topic. Its an internet forum, You getting worked up is just silly. Like the temp ban before was just a 'joke'. Cant believe you did not 'get' it?. Ah, Double meanings and the importance of clarity.

I would not recommend learning C+ + in the beginning, simply because its probably the most compex programming language out there, holding lots of traps for beginners.

If you want to get into programming I would recommend starting with Java or C#.

As far as Galaxy revelations go,

I realized how easy it is to abstract code by combining TriggerGetFunction and any piece of triggering information to use as a database key for accessing information outside of a trigger.

The strength of this is such that, with proper coding, you could take something as complex as a dialog health bar, create it with a single function with a unit parameter, and it would automatically update itself.

As an example, initialize the health bar by passing this function a unit. The initialization function creates a trigger for updating the health bar, and also saves the dialog into the database, at a key created by combining the name of the update function with the ID of the unit. Then the update function can access the health bar by combining these two pieces of information, and update it automatically.

Wut?

In order to update an HP bar made out of a dialog you have to update it constantly, when you use this method it automagically updates it for you.

Good on you, I was wondering how I could streamline my HP bars.
