If I ever wished to remove anything I would be shocked to get a reply saying they will not remove my work.

However this is a good thread to bring up the problem with simply removing vulnerabilities.

If a vulnerability is found you simply remove the thread. I feel this is not the way to go as this will confuse users and the others won't know of the exploit leaving many forums hackable.

I feel the way to go is remove the download and instruction parts to the thread, add a big note at the bottom and close the thread.

If you wish have the thread url just redirecting to a vulnerability error page.

Also when you remove a modification users have no idea what they uploaded or what changes they made to install it meaning they have no idea how to uninstall!!

I feel this is also a big problem. The ideal thing to do would be to make something that would tell them how to uninstall and a list of the files. Also a mail of all the installs telling them of the exploit.

Feedback?
