I might be relatively new here, but I still support the people who make the hacks by clicking install.

Don't forget just because there is a rule against something doesn't mean that something won't still happen! I don't think this site or any other site will ever be able to give you an absolute assurance that a hack won't have some code that may harm your site and/or Members.

If you are very concerned I would suggest you PM the Members whose hacks you used to have installed and ask them directly if they have any hidden functionality.

But don't forget one of the very good things about hacks from here is that they are in a way "open source" in the sense that anyone can review the hack's code. And it's obvious many of the coders take an active interest in the code of other coders so I think it's quite unlikely that any hack that has malicious hidden functionality will go unspotted for any length of time.
