I think what I'm trying to espouse is that "no info" is simply horrid. For me "all-inclusive info share" is ideal - because I honestly think there's absolutely no point in even sending out the quarantine email if there is no further info included with it. That's like saying, "The mod you've downloaded/installed is no longer available for download/install. But HA! We're not gonna tell you what's wrong with it. In fact - FU!" -- That's probably very crass - but that's exactly how I've translated the scenario...

Of course - I'm of the school that the graveyard and quarantined modifications should still be allowed download access, if only for purposes of fixing and/or improving the modification so that it may be shared once again within the vB Community. I think if one cannot access the download - then the download really has no business being shown in the first place. What? Are we trying to tease each other here?

Simply put - I'm only thinking of those who have downloaded and installed such a quarantined or graveyarded modification. Perhaps not everyone should have access to the info or downloaded files (if even available) - but those who have at least clicked the install button should be given some sort of details. The idea here is to have a board which is SECURE from exploits, as well as modified to our liking. And if a modification is no longer classified as secure and quarantined as such - then it's not only the responsibility of the board owner to take appropriate action BUT it's ALSO the responsibility of vBulletin.org to provide all information available so that Members CAN take the appropriate action for the security of their forum.

That's what I'm saying - and yes - It's my opinion. Anyway - I hope this better explains the reason for my original post.
