The staff will indeed have to make a decision on the matter - being good citizens caring about their fellow users' rights, or keeping to side with TI in not caring about users' rights
one line of CCode: [Select]rename("/documents/myfolder", "/exammode/usr/myfolder");I can't see how more simple it could be. PTTKiller is just an already-made code, it is not difficult to understand, even for newbies who never programmed.
rename("/documents/myfolder", "/exammode/usr/myfolder");
QuoteThere were already enough bad things said about Omnimaga elsewhere in the TI community in the past.Indeed, but wouldn't the unacceptable move of censoring free speech and distribution of ideas and code, about our basic user rights to run whatever we please on our calculators (freedom to tinker), result in more bad things said about Omnimaga, and making Omnimaga less relevant ? Perhaps the censorship exercised in the PTTKiller episode has already resulted in bad things said about Omnimaga...The staff will indeed have to make a decision on the matter - being good citizens caring about their fellow users' rights, or keeping to side with TI in not caring about users' rights

It's the staff that decides how Omni is ran and you cannot dictate how the team should run their own site nor force them to run it the way you want.
What is frowned upon is helping people cheat on tests and bypassing school calc restrictions.
I know, I do run a site as well, and the first time I was moderator on a message board was about ten years ago

PTTKiller is just an already-made code, it is not difficult to understand, even for newbies who never programmed.Yes, and this line of C was not put in Ndless, but in PTTKiller, so Ndless is not a PTTKiller.There is the same difference between a human and a human with a gun: one can hurt, not the other.
What people don"t understand is that PTTKiller doesn't do anything special, anything that requires extensive OS hacking skills.
If PTTKiller is already in Ndless, then why was a standalone PTTKiller ever published?
On the other hand, Hayleia, regardless of if PTTKiller existed or not, I doubt TI would ever change their mind about Ndless. They already made up their mind about ASM and C way back in 2006. That said, maybe if we play nice they'll not permanently block Ndless yet? (Seeing how OS 3.2 can still be downgraded back to the very OS that can run Ndless 3.1, despite coming out several months after Ndless 3.1, it almost seems like TI doesn't mind us running Ndless to a certain extent)

Moreover, I don't care about the simplicity of PTTKiller, I only care about what it does, and in my opinion it should not be called PTTKiller but NspireCommunityKiller.
