Code Out

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Since i was the Staff member that did remove the threads by JumpD (it could have been any other Staff member), i would like to clarify somthing that seems to cause confusion:

It is normal policy, and has been as long as i remember, that the threads of modifications that are removed (ie. file deleted) are removed as immediate after Staff notice it, there is no waiting time if it is clear that the author withdrew it on purpose. Only exception to this is if Staff isn't sure if the attachments where deleted on purpose or accidentally ommited, in that case we ask the author to clarify the situation and give him some time (usually a week) to respond. In this special case we already waited until the next day, which is more time then we usually give.

This policy have been followed for years without any (major) protest. Since this policy is now challenged, we are discussing if it needs to be changed, but that don't change the fact that it was the normal policy at time of action.

To all that request the threads to be restored, this will not happen. They will only be restored if the original author request so because he want these modification to be released again (uness we change policy).

The meeting on wednesday is an internal Jelsoft meeting, and as far as i know one of the issues on the agenda is the situation on vbulltin.org. There will be no vbulletin.org members attending this meeting.

In this meeting they will (probably) discuss how and when they can arrange a meeting with all the parties involved in vbulletin.org to address the current situation and how to improve it.


PS Let me throw some more oil on this fire, recently the same happened with most of the hacks released by Nexialys, unless i missed some posts, nobody ever made an issue out of that.
