Now in a supportthread there might be parts of his codes posted to explain things and give support... This code is supposed to be removed as well, for copyright reasons. If we would keep it visible, then we could get in legal problems with the author. That's why we can't change such things immediatelly, there are a lot of things to think about....

i've tried to just sit on behind the scenes with all this stuff going on...but this comment just got me thinking...
couldn't that issue be addressed quite simply by saying in the policy that if a coder wishes to remove his code from the site...he must manually remove it ALL...not just the zip files...if he leaves any of his code in the hack threads then it is free game..
