Next time I see people power spamming a serious thread like this, I will spread also power infraction points for each spam post.

3) SPAM

a) Posting of spam is not allowed. Spam is defined as any irrelevant or inappropriate message. Due to the nature of the forums, what is considered spam varies between threads. In other words: in some threads, small posts such as "..." are perfectly valid responses, whereas in other threads it is inappropriate. The context of the message is very important in this regard. It is the right and responsibility of the administrators or moderators to determine whether or not a message is spam and to take appropriate action if it is.

I am reopening this for the sake of clean coding discussion. No spam tolerence here!

I r bestest in Teh World!

The brackets really need to be on their own line ...

What do you people mean you only give brackets a new line for functions? How are functions any different in that structure than an if () or while (), or w/e?

Example:

PHP Code:

function BLAH()
{  // See? NEW LINE!
  if (lawl == "xXx") {  // See? NO NEW LINE!
  }
} 


[Twinny]

PHP Code:

function blah()
{
  if (this.condition)
  {
    if (this.completelydifferentcondition)
      blah2();
    else
      blah3();
  }  
} 


My general stylings. I normally have brackets around all conditions and events but when i'm finished and there is only one statement, I generally remove them.

Like

PHP Code:

function Dosomething()
  return this.something.index();

public function yay()
  return localfunction();

Eh. That sorta screams 'inconsistency'.

Any logic behind that? Seems a little hard to follow.

Twinny -- why don't you use brackets for one statement? They make it a lot cleaner, and neater, and if you need to adjust something it looks better.

PHP Code:

if ( foo )
{
  doSomething();
}

It can scream whatever it wants, aslong as I like to script like that.

That's one way to think about it.
