and to close the story. The same person who dropped my mods in Graveyard as having security holes, 2 days later, sent me the following email:



No more comments by me.

She then countered with an offer to have me and someone else partner with her, to which I said no. She then wanted to know much it would be to have me check MySocialSpace for vB syntax and security risks, and I answered $200 to $400 per file. I did not ask her if she wanted to pay for me to fix her scripts. She made that inquiry!

You're too young for them, and not the one who must be ungry with the whole situation. I've paid 3 licenses for vB, so I've the right to post in forums anything as long as they're true. And you know very well, that what I wrote is true.

I am really getting a bit tired of having to react to all your attempts to blame anyone but yourself. Our staff and myself are getting tired of having to spend many hours on handling your mood changes and endless discussions. Either release your work to the vB.org members (you are releasing things for our members, not to please our staff) according to our rules and policies or not. Even if you mark your work as Beta, it will still be removed if it there are verified security issues.

You are insinuating that our staff has personal financial motives to quarantine your modifications, please get a life. Modifications are placed in quarantine if a security issue is reported (99% of the times by a regular member) and confirmed by a staff member. The staff member who quarantines a modification has no benefit from this at all. On the contrary, some staff members prefer not to handle reports on your modifications anymore as the result will most likely be that they have to go into endless discussions with you if a vulnerability is serious enough to warrant quarantine (there is no discusion on this, if there is a security issue it will be handled according to our policy), or you will start to blame the individual staff member and threaten to remove all your work.

Our staff is here to ensure that vBulletin.org runs smooth, they are not here to repair your (at that time commercial) modifications. If you ask someone to partner with you, then he/she will have their own motivations, not connected to their staff status on vb.org, to accept or decline that. If someone wants to accept commercial requests, then they are free to accept such a request at their own price, it is up to you to accept or decline such an offer.

If you are unable to ensure that your work has no known security issues, then maybe you should have a look at our articles section, or post in the coders forum for advise.

Oh Mary, you're so ...greek :/
