Reorganise the code bank? |

This subject has probably been discussed but anyway.
If the code bank was run the same way the article system is then it would be a lot better.
There are so many sloppy bits of code that dont do anything remotely useful example: http://www.hellboundhackers.org/code/readcode.php?id=94
Perhaps a new challenge like the article one where you get 10 points or something for a decent submission and maybe have it so the admins/mods check them like the articles so we dont end up with useless submissions.
There are some good submissions but the majority dont serve any real purpose (see my example) and could be easily coded by the majority of people here.
Does anyone agree with me? |

I agree,
I think most of the scblockedripts can be removed that don't serve any purpose.
And to fill the code bank with good scblockedript's we could make a challange for it like koolkeith12345 said.

why not just replicate the article system for the code bank? |

Like, the best submitted code?
not quite sure what you mean there.
I meant like maybe a latest code submission box maybe under the article one but a bit smaller probably and a most read code section or something.
You could turn that into a challenge maybe; the user who codes the best code bank function gets some points or something. |

Could make it so you can sort the code bank based on "Votes" "Most Recent" or the person submitting. Could also minimize the links to bad submissions and have a "View All" in case they are needed.

Two things, suggestions actually.
One. The code bank should operate more like a ftp server, and less like a post board. People should be allowed to upload multiple files, since sometimes that's the best way to organize a programming project.
Two. There needs to be some sort of approval process for submissions. Programs should execute as they are, should do what they say, and should be in good form. I'm not talking about judging the complexity, neatness or 'coolness' or somebody's code. Instead just check that it is what it says, and that it's not completely full of errors. You could accept a few users to moderate for each language.
code smarter, not harder. |

I think it would be a good idea to have someone to look at the codes before they are approved.
And as mentioned earlier, having someone to check that the code works properly for each language.
This will mean you have to wait maybe a couple of days before the code is up after you submitted it, but you'll have a high quality code bank.

It'd be great, but I don't think the admins have time for it

True, that's why they could give the task to someone who feels that they have time enough to do it. Only give them the rights to approve or discharge a submition.
This way you don't have to worry as much about which people you choose to trust as if you would make them admin/moderator and you don't have to put the burden on those who have more important things to do.

Code should have have to be accepted in the same way that articles are after submission. People should then be able to comment on them and rate them in the same way that people can on articles. A most read code and latest code section would also be a good idea. As for working out what needs to be deleted, some kind of temporary flag for deletion function? That way members browsing the code bank could flag bad/useless code for deletion and save the admins some work.

does code still need to be accepted, cause i just submitted a code, and it brought me to a blank page, with 9 votes (Excellent votes)... went to the bank and it wasn't there!?!

1. The approval system on articles still allows crap, so a similar system on the Code Bank would not help.
2. Voting negatively for an article does not get it removed... so, what would make you expect negative votes on code to get it removed? If you fix one, fix them both.
The purpose of the Code Bank should be to display progressively unique code. That is, when a "new concept" is added, let that entry stay. If another piece of code is superior to that one, then let it supercede / replace it. The Code Bank should be a source of reference, not another way to get 6 million "articles" on basic C++ or "Telnet hacking". Points could be awarded for originality, as that would be the only form of actual contribution. However, giving points to any doofus that writes a 4-line bit of code doing god-knows-what is stupid.
If you want to change the way the Code Bank works, then I am all for it. However, really think it through and IMPROVE IT instead of just making it different. Otherwise, you're wasting your time when you could be tackling a real project.

I don't see a challenge coming out of this. I see this being a discussion until it becomes a project for one of the admins. That's it; truth be told, the admins would probably do the job better than any of the turds on here, anyways.

And you won't find someone like that on these stereotyped challenge sites.
