What’s the difference between Scripting Support and Code review?

Hey all! Scythe here! I have a question, what’s the difference between #help-and-feedback:scripting-support and #help-and-feedback:code-review? Aren’t both of the categories asking for help? If so should they just be merged into one? Which leads me to my question, what’s the difference?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure code review is for people to suggest improvements on existing working code and scripting support is for people who are trying to find a solution to a problem but have no existing working code.

Scripting support is usually for any scripting related concerns such as API, general questions and overall learning. Code review on the other hand is for code integrity and polishing where people check for potential changes and improvements aka optimising.

Edit:
Basically this post says what I’m trying to say

Ive seen some people in #help-and-feedback:scripting-support that have code and are just asking for feedback on it too.

So basically #help-and-feedback:code-review is just asking how to make a script better? But in #help-and-feedback:scripting-support some people ask the same thing? Does that mean those people should have posted in #help-and-feedback:code-review instead?

Also, just noticed, when you click the scripting support link inside of the post you just linked, it says the page is private or doesn’t exist. :thinking:, probally a bug.

To summarise it all,

Code Review is for improving/polishing existing code that actually works.

Scripting Support is for not necessarily broken code, but for clarifications, learning and general questions.

This is why posts in scripting support that just throw in a whole script usually gets taken down.

That’s not the case. Posts in Scripting Support that throw in their code alone are taken down because that’s inappropriate use of the category.

Nearly everything you need can be explained by the About threads of each category which are evidently seldom read. Support is not the same as requesting others to fix your code for you, hence removals. There needs to be clear indication of a problem and attempts from your end, as well as a willing to learn and not to be spoon-fed.
