You can report being hacked by using the "Report Post" feature on the top post or PMing a staff member. Posting in a thread is not a report because quite frankly we don't all read every post, and the details should be kept confidential anyway.

I also understand how some want to notify everyone "ohh there's a flaw let's post it and warn others" i.e. helping while genuinely sincere can cause mass panic (I mean really ladies and gents the insults that are thrown or hinted to are simply ridiculous sometimes, honestly or I wouldn't take the time to say so please try to afterwards, understand from another perspective that they are unwarranted at best imo.) when all you need to do in nearly all similar situations is disable or uninstall the mod and security should not be pfff'd away as you all say and stress - it's up to everyone one of us to secure our forums, it's up to end-users to trust in those forums yet we must all assume responsibility for using the sites ourselves imo as we can't always take action against those doing the actual harm .

My bad. I'll start using the report post feature for myself and on behalf of those I help out every now and then.
