+ Code Snippet

Randomize Timer()

Dim Cent(255,359) as Integer
Centx = 25
Centy = 25

For rad = 0 to 255
For ang = 0 to 359
col = int(rnd(rad))
Dot sin(ang)*rad,-cos(ang)*rad,RGB(col,col,col)
Next ang
Next rad

Wait Key

This code snippet was deleted and I cant tell if it was because of the title I gave it, the section I put it in, the fact I forgot to put [DBP] in the title, if the mod was having a bad day, or if something messed up his computer. Im posting in geek culture so I can get an answer as to why this was deleted.

This isn't a sig. It's me disguised a sig. Can you get me out?

Well, if you can list one thing that is wrong it is logical it was removed. So since you can list 3 things that were wrong, why even bother asking...

it could be that it wasn't particularly useful (though it is neat).

Then again, there's a lot in the codebase that isn't really useful.

Could be accidental.... Like the time that mod deleted my completely LEGAL joke post, instead of just locking it or something.... THEN n00b slapped me. All accidental.....

Is the concept of a quick e-mail to whatever mod patrols the Snippet Board too complicated? I don't understand why people keep asking their questions to mods on the forums. I'm sorry to sound harsh, but with the lockdown and stuff, do you think the mods will appreciate such a thread?

Don't multiple mods patrol the snippet board?

+ Code Snippet

print "This, too, is a Code Snippet"

This officially is a useful post according to Aarons' reasoning now.

Let me rephrase that.... A code-snippet which shows an actual use of time and effort.

Rami : Seeing that he has no idea who deleted it, I don't think asking here is all that wrong. His question is valid, he is looking to find out what he did wrong prior to reposting it in snippets and having it deleted again.

aluseus GOD: it might be helpful if you posted the original post title so whatever mod takes a look in here has an idea what thread you are talking about.

Yeah, but he asked the exact same thing in the Code Snippet board ('What the' - is removed by a mod by now).

I didn't delete it, but I know why it was. There is a sticky at the top, that you don't even need to open. It has a star next to it, and exclamation marks surrounding it. It says...

!!! Posts Which Don't State Version Of DB Will Now Be Deleted !!!

The snippets board was becoming less useful because nobody knew if a snippet would work for them.
