Cheat detection overzealous?

What does the program do? Just wondering whether it overlaps with this?

It's more or less the same. My program is just this itty-bitty thing in Qbasic to auto-calculate the efficiency score.

Do you know if this website includes experience bonuses? This change things a bit.

Also, my program allows for calculation at any level. It's not nearly as elegant, however.

I was wondering how long it was going to take before people would start to accuse those defending the programmer as fanboys.

Eh - the people pointing out that the developers have different priorities than some of us aren't necessarily defending the programmers, so 'fanboy' isn't being applied to the defenders.

Explaining away the fact that the Skratti and Warlock didn't go back in as a "different priority" isn't defending the programmers.

Explaining away the fact that the developers didn't put out a 1 hour fix right after finding out the Skratti and Warlock was missing (in two patches now) as a different priority isn't defending them.

Explaining that parts of the user interface are infuriating, and aren't likely to get any better because the programmers don't like to do user interface work isn't defending them.

Feh.

It does indeed handle experience. But anyway, congratulations that you are getting the hang of programming. It is a quite handy skill

Ps. What do you mean by "any level"?
