I would suggest anyone looks long and hard at the ramifications of this before installing

that is true to a point. most sites probably have guidelines, you submit your content,
it is the property of the forum, the member would no longer have rights to what
they post, nor do i have an obligation to remove their post unless their post violates
forum policy. Just as if you submit your article to directories, once you submit,
it becomes their property, the person that submitted the article is the true own, but
he gave up certain rights once he submitted the article to the directory.

I just installed the mod, the poster is credited as being the author, and since
content on the forum belongs to the forum, then I see no problem with this.

I can understand where he is going with this, when others grab your
feed, then they will grab your link also, giving you a backlink..
am I right?

So this only posts the resource box on the member that
starts the post, right? This is what I am seeing.


also the custom forum name, is this for forum numbers
to include the box on? like 4,6,8, etc...

It would not hurt if you allowed admin to add a text line
below the resource box: ie: Posted content belongs to forum, etc...
sorta like added disclaimer to the poster.

Thanks
