See...this is what I don't get. Why would vB care if their software is being used by people who have inappropriate contents in their sites? Doesn't that make vB, in some way, responsible for the contents of their customers, and by doing that, vB is bringing someone else's problems to itself. :ermm:

Also, I agree with AlexanderT. I don't understand the reason behind the change of the rule. The protection system has been used here at vb.org for ages, and only a few months ago was the lock down hack allowed to be released here. So...what happened between when the protection system was used and a few months ago? Why wouldn't the rule changed as soon as the protection system was put in place here at vb.org?

I'm not trying to start anything. It's just that some things are puzzling me. That's all.
