About the liability.
One could imagine that besides a set of rules for submission, there will also be a set of rules for participation/download. vBulletin.org is a directory, listing the resources in exchange for a fee. If you use a resource this is not in relation to the web site at all. The author is responsible for his resource and I think people can agree upon the recommendation to always make a backup prior to making changes to their community. And are open to accept that vBulletin.org can not be held responsible for any damage to or data loss off ..
If I find through Google, and download a word document that has a macro virus in it, and my system gets screwed up, surely I can't hold Google responsible.
Anyway, I think we can assume there will be a paragraph stating that we're only responsible for displaying the links. And how we will handle disputes.
I can imagine the reviewers of the links will have the rights to modify, move or delete any links at any time for any reason. As they're the owners of the site. This to protect vBulletin.org in case of disputes, or if we find out someone posted resources that cause damage (like a hack backdoor).
(Am I making any sense here? haha) (back to my coffee)
