Remove the JESP category.

[busterkomo]

Honestly, the JESP category is useless, and a lot of people mislabel their spells.

I think it was a relic from times past. It was to encourage people to make spells follow certain standards so that people could easilly use them.

A lot of stuff gets poorly labeled so I can hardly think that is a reason worth removing it for but as the strict moderation for spells is in place the caterogry is no longer needed as all approved jass/vjass/whatever spells should reach a moderate usability level when approved so it is pointless knowing which spells follow a usability standard when all of them are usable (the approved ones).

I suggested this in ML a while back. Nothing ever happened.

Then go complain in the ML until it's removed.

Ralles gone. I'll do it later.

Okay, so I am bumping the thread for further discussion, in spite of being over a year old. If enough people agree to this, I'll call in Ralle if he doesn't spot this thread earlier.

While the standard is outdated, it's still a great concept. I say revisit it, and revise it for modern practices, rather than abandon it entirely.

I always liked the idea of JESP.

I always liked the idea of JESP.

No one is really in opposition to the idea of the JESP standard. The problem is that it existed primarily to educate people on good coding practice and is no longer relevant after the introduction of vJASS. Furthermore, the JESP standard is already embedded (essentially) into the spell rules.

I agree with its dismissal as a category - JESP would be better as a spell rule for JASS/vJass resources instead of its own thing.
