Zachery, not everyone is a coder and even with basic knowledge may still not be at a level to see whether a hack was secure or not. (I've read half a book on php, know html, the web industry, but am still am unsure about many code-related things for example).

One slip up from a staff member would be far more acceptable than loads from vb.org users.

Madness.

People may feel that code posted here for vB may be getting checked either by staff or other coders - in fact I've seen on many occasions how another coder has given a tip to someone else in their hacks' thread to cut-out a query for example (it's one of the reasons that made vb.org great).

Encrypted software is totally different in that you can't see it even if you wanted to, and the general consensus is that people don't like to use it, wherever possible.
