User talk:Abolish Javascript

Hello!

Firstly, thank you for your contributions as of late. Regrettably I've not been at my best so been unable to say this sooner.

I have noticed the use of raw HTML in page edits (br, b, the like), and would recommend against it for style consistency in favor of local equivalents (double space, ''' and the like). It's not a real problem but a style recommendation. I would also note the deliberate use of language in certain cases, ie, I believe the historical descriptions on THERA, Legacy of the Great Torment are pulled directly from ingame text. I could be wrong on this however and look forward to your thoughts.

As someone who dislikes runaway javascript use I am sympathetic though in regards to Computer security on the forum, TWC's options on deep configuration changes here are limited. I can see what might be done about flash however as that is a setting which may be available to day to day administrators and I seen no reason to keep it around as a vector at this point.

Hope you're well,

I had noticed that you had been gone for some time.

I use the html bold and italics tags becuz they are asymmetric, and thus more-clear in their effect than the symmetric wiki tags, in which you can't distinguish a beginning-tag from an end-tag. I use the html break-tag out of necessity, becuz there is no wiki-code which duz the same thing.

Regarding my changes to the text in the THERA article, I didn't think that it was quoted in-game text, but, even if it is, I think that it's better to have high-quality text in the articles than to have the article-text precisely correspond to the in-game text, no matter how bad the in-game text might be.

Regarding Flash, I recommend that you propose to the other Hex-members a forum-rule to ban the posting of embedded Flash-videos.

And lastly, I'm curious what you mean when you say "I've not been at my best".

But of course, that might be a private matter.
