No I. If there happens to be a exploite in the hack, or any type of injection. That would leave me and anyone else who has added the hack venerable to the author. I would highly suggest not to do this. But thats just my $0.02.

I highly doubt that modification authors are going to go on a hacking rampage against those who installed their modification. Also, if they really wanted all they have to do is see who replied and if they installed or not :)

You highly doubt but you never know.

@Paul: i was talking about the authors as well.

As i said already, nope we won't change it, we've decided to do it this way after we implemented the main features during the vb3 upgrade here.
I think most of the users hare are fine with the compromis we've set up.

And i say compromis because we have some who'd like to see noone if they have installed a hack or not, not even the author when replying, and we have those who want it to be seen publically.
