@DogsB TDWTF has standards.
I didn’t say they were high standards necessarily but it has some. For the most part they do include not actively fucking around with accounts.
We might be a group of misanthropes but we’re reasonably ethical misanthropes.

- The same script acts as the form page, the preview page and also does the database insertion.
- Which of the above actions is being performed is determined by the url argument "action" as in script.php?action=preview, script.php?action=send, etc.Not necessarily bad, could be an implementation of the "front controller" design pattern. Which, of course, would at least mean that the main script delegates the real work to some other scripts...
there is always someone defending the wtf and imagining some case that it would make sense
Some scripts genuinely did this (e.g. older phpBB, older vBulletin) but chances aren't good that it was done well.
Don’t want to bring it back on topic but a lot of jsps I’ve seen do this. They’re a nightmare to navigate. Allowing jsps to call other jsps was probably a bad decision in hindsight. Headers and footers make sense but everything in the middle becomes an excerise in untangling a ball of elastics.
I haven’t poked around in graphql too much but that looks like its just one url and the body determines what to return.

In hindsight I shouldn’t have written anything. The joke fell flat and I’ll probably be the only subject.
Still bitter that I’m no longer the face of downvotes. Although I have gotten a lot of mileage out of that.

@DogsB eh, I think it’s all good personally.
