If a mod is checked before release, then it does not mean that they are taking responsibility. You can still put the onus on the users.

What borbole is proposing is possible in theory but in practice it will mean a lot more staff and competent reviewers putting in a lot of their time in this work. I dont see that happening.

I would also like to add that a lot of people are overacting to the recent - advanced forum rules exploits. One of the most exploited mods for vB is vBSEO, which is a paid mod run by paid people. The number of people affected by those exploits is far greater but there was never such a hue and cry over that.

I was amazed to see that some people are saying that they will never use mods from vb.org again. But the point is that it is not possible to guarantee the safety of any software. Even PHP was found with security flaws sometime back. Will these people sstop using PHP as well?
