By not Banning him, vb.org is assisting people like this to rip off customers. I wonder the legalities of that.

When members from Ebay rip off other members from Ebay, I do believe Ebay locks their accounts.

Same thing should happen here.

Without going too far into it, the situation and member in question is being discussed by the Administration and Staff of this website. I believe someone mentioned that in another thread, but I can't seem to find it off hand.

But on a side note, vBulletin.org has to be very careful about banning people just because someone says they are untrustworthy. Now, I'm not doubting your claims whatsoever, and it seems you are not alone in this -- which makes a stronger case for the Staff to look at. But please do not think vBulletin.org can get away with banning on whim anyone who doesn't perform to high standards.

vBulletin.org is a site for the licensed vBulletin hacking community to come together to freely discuss vBulletin modifications, hacks, etc. and to promote commeraderie in the hacking community. We are a free site and we encourage coders and members alike to freely* discuss ideas together.

vBulletin does not encourage anyone to solicite paid services. We simply have a separate forum for paid service requests to handle the growing need for such an area. But it all boils down to "buyer beware", as much as I hate to spew the overused phrase, it fits.

I hope my post will be taken for what it's worth and not read into. I'm not trying to argue or simplify the situation. Again, the Administration is looking into the matter and I'm sure it will be handled in a professional way that has both the coders, the members, and vBulletin's best interest at hand.
