Oh, the stupidity

Well, I don't think this sort of stuff really gets reviewed.  From what I understand, MyBB staff leave it up to the community to make their own judgements over 3rd party modifications.
I think the approval process on the mods site / releases forum is just to check for viruses, but in all honesty, I think it's largely unnecessary.  The approval process doesn't extend to forum attachments, for example.

Heh, all this talk about security, I wonder if I should just post security exploits on plugins that I find, so that people who actually care about the security of their forum are aware of these things (unlike the people in the first post's linked thread).
Well, that's what I say on the outside, but I'm somewhat more interested in showing how many crappy coders there are out there, and make my forum visitors feel that they're smarter than the rest (cause really, the average intelligence here is greater than that of pretty much every other MyBB related forum out there).    [and then I kick myself when I can't find any security exploits... well, I'm sure there's quite a few... I hope]
