Moderators Functions - Moderation Auto-PM v4.0.6

Hello all!

Moderation Auto-PM v4.0.6

What does this hack do?
When a thread is opened/closed, stuck/unstuck, moved, or a post is deleted, a PM will be automatically sent to the poster to inform them of this.

Instructions

1. Upload all *.php files to your vBulletin includes directory
2. Import the product XML (set allow overwrite to yes if you are upgrading from a previous version)
3. Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.
4. Show Your Support by Donating
5. Done

Features

• The text of the pm is no longer hardcoded but uses phrases
• Ability to "respect" a recycle bin forum (lots of bigger boards still seem to use this)
• Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread/post is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum (example if you move a thread to a staff only forum the original poster would be denied access)
• Ability to exclude certain forums (no notification send at all)
• Never send a pm to yourself also solved

Stay away from this addon!!

I have secured evidence.

Can you provide us evidence?

If he does infact have evidence, it is best to use the report feature and report it to staff, no reason to show the security hole/exploit if it does exist.

[DemOnstar]

Maybe he is thinking of another mod that is similar?

Yes, exactly.

[Mr von]

Yes, I can prove it. However, this hack is not solely responsible. I collect evidence of a complaint with the police.

Have you reported the vulnerability to vB.org and vB.com?

And have you reviewed and addressed the known vulnerabilities for vB.com involving the install folder?

Two questions come to mind....

1 - what other is partly responsible?

2 - you are suggesting the police are involved?

You have peaked my interest, but I am not fully understanding of your intent with the cryptic posts.

[ozzy47]

Yeah something don' quite seem right here, awful cryptic.

[DemOnstar]

What is it about the police?

Are they gonna come in and correct everything for for everyone?

Serving the public and all that?
