Standards
#1
People from all over the world play AssaultCube, and therefore the people that make up the community around it are diverse and unique. I think would be a good idea to encourage the use of standards.

Some examples:
  1. Calendar Date
    YYYY-MM-DD
    2010-12-20
  2. Time of Day
    hh:mm:ss
    11:15:00
  3. Date and Time
    YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
    2010-12-20T11:16:00
  4. UTC
    UTC is Universal Coordinated time, in layman's terms it is GMT but never uses daylight savings

Some AssaultCube related examples:

Although I know it would be difficult to get users using these standards, I think it would help to remove some of the confusion around different formatting styles and timezones. So I suppose really it's a trade-off. I hope the long winded way in which I wrote this post can be ignored :)
