GeoB99: Viewing the file contents is an expensive operation. I basically want to avoid that automated crawlers and alike can trigger it. This was the easiest approach. Sure, I could add a CAPTCHA but it's not worth the effort. Or at least to use direct links to it.
Example: When you click the "download" button it sends you to the download link of the file on that git repository.
However, when you attempt to look at the file contents it redirects you to the git repository where you can navigate and dig into the files.
Or similar to this
This one is important (height:115px):
<div class="b0" style="height:115px;">
Starkkz: The problem with externally hosted stuff is that there is a very high potential for dead links which is something I want to avoid. In case of a Git repo: The author might remove the repo and forget about the file archive entry here. Therefore I want to always have a copy which is uploaded here. Of course you can add a link to the Git repo as well. You can even add a note that the Git repo content might be more up to date than the uploaded file. That's cool with me because it's still better than having dead links.That's why I don't accept uploads with just download links and why the system forces you to upload something.
DC: How about webhooks?Edit: People has been demanding for moderators, what if you created a minor rank where we (the moderators) had permission to promote people into this rank according to how we belive that they behave. Of course this should be a more limited rank, the default moderator rank has already as much power as yours. Perhaps a junior moderator or something like that?
You might not like the fact that we'd be promoting random people but we eventually do have good ideas, and it's not likely we're going to put twenty people instantly there, if you look it into another way, that would be like the pre-moderator test rank. Where users would jump into promotions that way.
User -> Junior Moderator -> Moderator.
That way we'd know who does better job, especially on the File Archive. If the user does a good job as Junior Moderator, we just give you our opinions about that person and you decide whether to promote him or not.

Starkkz has writtenProbably like the old moderator powers we had before, where we could close threads/temp. ban/delete files, but not permanently ban nor set the users to Idiot mode, nor completely modify their profile.
DC has time to do that anyway. Starkkz's idea about a minor rank where we act like a child from a moderator. Speaking of which I have an idea. What about all moderators pick multiple users, maybe 2 users, to be junior moderators then in a few weeks, well-behaved rules-obeyed junior moderator still be a junior moderator while another one demoted to be a user again. This may cause conflict but moderators should pick well-behaved users to be junior moderators, right? After the demotion (is it a right word?), there're still junior moderators of each moderator, then to eliminate multiple junior moderators so there only be one junior moderator, moderators need to examine each of junior moderators (don't examine partially) on what should be examined. In a few weeks, well-behaved rules-obeyed humble junior moderator be a moderator and other junior moderators demoted to user again. I guess this is a quite fair way to elect a new moderator. There will be many conflicts occurred if this idea implemented so 50/50 on chance of succession. DC to allow us to promote people into that rank without having to ask him every time we have a new idea. Eg. http://cs2d.gamebanana.com/skins
The CS2D section recently got updated there and every skin was classified into sub cats.
There are cats for each CS2D weapon in-game as also cats for misc sprites if a sizeable amount of weapons exist to justify the making of such a cat.
Benefits?
Easier to browse skins. Eg. I want a Desert Eagle skin for my game. I can just click on the Deagle section.
A search filter using the keywords "Desert Eagle" or "Deagle" isn't actually that helpful since skins for Desert Eagle can also be a Colt Python, an M1911, etc. Instead of searching all these terms and checking whether that skin is meant for Deagle or other pistol, I can just browse the Deagle cat instead.
Drawbacks?
Mods will need to do heavy work during classifications.
DC may have to do some website modifications.
Classification can be a community effort with Mods asking people to make lists. Like a guy can browse the current section from pages 1-10, classify all skins. Some can do 10-20... and so on.
Website modifications on the other hand might be complex and DC alone will have to handle that

GeoB99: Thanks for rerouting me to this thread! 
You can use http://prismjs.com/ for this. Their website looks crap but the plugin is brilliant. You can load files from directories as well! Loads of languages are supported including Lua of course. You can get the simple version like I have, or choose to get loads of little addons like hovering over colour code, line numbers and that sort of thing. They also have a few default styles to choose from. It's all pretty compact.
I customized a few things to my liking, which is also fairly straight forward CSS.
Many websites use prismjs for their code tags. It's pretty much the one you want when it comes down to it.
And, if that wasn't enough to convince you, you can also use the code tags in between text:
So, please make this happen or at least tell me why not
CS2D FAQ TagInstead to copy and paste the link of a cs2d faq all the time, you can use a tag for it to show a specific cs2d faq. For example:
1
cs2dfaq : noservers
No servers in serverlist?!

for example their country and language. If user want to hide its country or language then nothing return.
