We've since changed that plan to not allow moderators into the admincp to perform actions they currently do from the modcp. We are sure a fair number of complaints would be made about possible security breaches if moderators are allowed in the same code base as administrators.

I don't think there would be any security breaches as long as each hack made sure to specify a permission rather than just calling can_administer() for error checking (unless it's the intention to allow all admins, that is).
But I might not see the whole picture, so don't flame me for this one
As for your emphasis on the word "coded", Im sorry if I made it sound like I thought/think you steal code, because I've never thought that. It's quite obvious that, for instance, while your Infraction system has display similarities (ie how it looks on the screen) to AWS, anyone could just open the file and see tis a completely different code set.

I only dislike the modcp because theres no link to it on the frontend. I heard the reason for this tho, so don't take this as complaining about it without knowing why

Bah ok then =P

And when is that again?
