When I first started learning ruby on rails I wrote my controller
actions by using if else statements to display error messages in case
something failed a validation. Like:

if @user.save
  flash[:notice] = "User was saved"
  redirect_to whatever
else
  flash[:error] = "There was an error saving the user"
end

Im trying to use the beast forum plugin and in the controller actions
there are no if else statements and it looks really clean.  like it
just has:

  def create
    @forum.attributes = params[:forum]
    @forum.save!
    ....
  end

Im wondering, does it just rely on validations for the error
handling?  And if so, is this good practice?
