It is possible to say "This hack has been removed due to a SQL Injection Vulnerability" instead of saying "This hack has been removed due to a SQL Injection Vulnerability in clancp.php?do=join, where a malformed input (such as [example]) would allow an user to show/modify anything from the database"

I applaud this, and just hope I have managed to fix all holes so this never happens to me XD
