EEK!! Please, oh, please don't continue to use parameters in this way. It's NOT correct. A parameter is a specific mathematical object, not a "definition". IOW, not the same as a "perimeter" or "boundary" as people often use it. "Criteria" would be a very good substitute in the above sentence and sounds much more educated.

The requirements for allowing a sub into the game are all positive, thusly represented by a 1 (negative would be represented by a 0). Therefore, the parameters are all positive. Please allow the sub. One more thing, I miss Rainmaker, why the change?

Pardon my mistake...I keep forgetting people speak proper English. My mistake would be a normal thing for deaf people to write. Damn linguist in me just can't stop!

This is all mbyron's fault. We were all doing fine posting in one syllable words until he showed up.

Oh sure, blame me.
I read today that the kerfuffle over the presidential oath of office likely happened because Chief Justice Roberts is overly attached to the bogus rule against split infinitives. The grammarian Fowler was largely responsible for demonizing constructions like, "to boldly go where no man has gone before," but I had always thought that he pulled the rule out of his butt. Turns out he justified it by the fact that Latin infinitives are a single word, and concluded that English infinitives should not be split. I guess you gotta know where to draw the line. Oh, that probably applies to the OP, too.
