Default Unliscenced users

is it possible for something to show in the postbit over here on vb.org if a user is unliscenced?
see attachment

this way if someone tries asking questions and they have a pirated board or something like that... members won't give them any information that would make them be able to find vb software on the net..

They might not even be able to post at all in the release forums, but I could be wrong.

To my knowledge, unregistered users can't post in support forums or release forums.

but they can post in site feedback

heres an example... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92781
the reason i brought this up is because i remembered this thread and now i saw this one. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92931
so now he may or may not have a liscence.. i dunno.. but what if he doesnt.. now he has the info he needs to port his phpbb to his pirated vb board.

again i have no clue if he's liscened now or not .. but im just saying in general maybe we can avoid things like that by having something in the postbit sayin that a user is unliscenced.. we dont need it for liscenced users just unliscenced

The licensed status of our members is only viewable to vBulletin.org staff members and shall stay that way to maintain their privacy. Bear in mind that unlicensed users cannot get support so it's safe to assume that you will always be answering a licensed users in the main forums.

Unlicnesed users are only allowed to post in this forum, the lounge, and the pre-sales questions forum.

If you see someone asking for support in said forums simply don't answer them and report the post, a mod will be along to look at it shortly after.

If someone is asking for help on vB in the site feedback or Lounge then chances are that he is unlicensed. For privacy reasons we can not share the license status to our members.

Question, why can't you share that info?

Or to put it another way, I am happy to have paid for my owned vb licence, I wouldn't mind having a public indicator in my profile or postbit confirming that.

You could allow people to be 'publically licenced' or 'invisibly licenced' which would look like the same as unlicenced to non-staff.

Anyhow... this idea would lead to the majority of people wearing their licence with pride, getting quicker replies from other users, whilst 1 post newbies posting mod requests would be ignored.
