And I'm going to tell you why. A lot of users have recently started using inequalities in their post. For instance, "Being a member of TL does NOT make you a good SC player." Notice the not in saying that the field on the left and the field on the right are unequal. Now, I continualy see people using two equal signs and a forward slash to represent not equal. That is ugly and wrong and if you do it then you are lame. Use "!=" to represent not equal. Have a Good Day! -Cg    | ||

I've never seen != used before and it looks awkward... | ||

You would never say like if(teamliquid.contains(member)) { assert(member == good) } because that would be a terrible equality operator to write. The member object would never be equal to the good object. It would really be like: assert(isGoodPlayer(member)); == is really direct equality not "this predicate applies to this object" | ||

This is a gaming forum not a programming forum. I think that it's pretty clear that it's an opinion - I think that everyone would agree that as long as you are understandable when you make your argument, that it doesn't matter for clarity's sake. subjective opinions are allowed...and not enforced. this almost follows the guide for trolling though xD | ||

Though seriously, =/= bugs me too. If you can't make a strike through a single =, then use !=, the rational alternative. | ||
