Comment on Option to hide "invited by" in user page in ~tildes
chewbacca LinkI don't think Tildes should even store who invited you. It's detrimental to privacy because you then have an implicit connection to that person.I don't think Tildes should even store who invited you.

The script behaves exactly the same when written as follows:
caesar = (input, shift) -> coded = "" for index = 1, input\len() char = input\sub(index,index) byte = char\byte() local byteOffset if (byte >= 97 and byte <= 122) byteOffset = 96 elseif (byte >= 65 and byte <= 90) byteOffset = 64 else coded ..= char continue coded ..= string.char((byte - byteOffset + shift) % 26 + byteOffset) codedI don't use it professionally, just as a hobby.
