How about explaining it to someone who doesn't write code?:blushing:

It asks you to input your favorite mentor, if your input is "Evo" then it says "omg"...if it's not "Evo", then it says "That is not Evo :S"...

Better Code:

Code: 
def favorite():
favorite = raw_input("Who is your Favorite PF member?")
if favorite == 'yomamma':
print 'You Are Cool'
elif favorite='pengwuino':
print 'You have no place on this forum'
elif favorite= 'Evo':
print 'You are...cool too :rolleyes: don't ban me evo'
else:
favorite()

okay so I also suck at python

There isn't much to get. It's just weird how writing computer code can make you automatically think in those terms sometimes.

http://ihate [mentor name].com gives very few results. Think about it.

Well that was a few years ago now, and these days I've lost the definition I once had on my abs, but let's just say it isn't a bad photo, although I was airbrushed to look that good. Hell everyone has bad hair days right?

Anyway back to the topic, mods do alright, who'd want to be a mod, thankless task, homework helpers at least get praise for their well written posts; Mods are somewhat akin to teachers, we all knew they were doing the right thing as kids, but damn it it's hard to take a decision that leaves you out in the cold corridor:smile: right SD out: I've had enough of your contribution to this science class, you've got detention for a month, come back and see me when you can behave :smile:

if your wearing that, then your either going to get sent out straight away or not sent out atall, so that's the dilema.

When I saw this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=326403&page=2&reply=#19" in the Necroposting thread I wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you mentors do; since there is now a little more on your plate. I searched for the proper thread for giving you all praise and found this one.

Time for work now. Lock it or not? :smile:

:approve: nice.

I'm loving that angel at the top of the page. I'm going to have to start charging the forum owner, though, if he keeps my picture on the site for much longer.
