Dismounted questioned the remark made by Chris where he states that the GY by itself is a terrible idea. You however choose to react on that with again a repeat of your own points, which doesn't answer the question Dismounted asked Chris (not you) at all.
You only repeat the idea that has been mentioned before that we should leave (some of) the files of a deleted modification. This is never going to happen. If the modification was removed on request of the author, then this is his choice to now have his work available for download on vB.org anymore. As it is his/her work, we have no other option then to remove it. If a modification is deleted because of vulnerabilities, we already sent out a notification to the users.
If the author of a modification wants to assist also his users with uninstalling his work, then he can post uninstall instructions in the thread.
I said, Allow the Txt file, not some. You really need to start reading what I write marco and not come up with a conclusion that is way off the mark.
It's really that simple, 1 text file to be downloaded giving users information to access the information to uninstall that exploited modification.
Why would you want a customer to remain using a security risk script? I find that that contradicts what this place is all about. Doesn't take much to help people when they do indeed need that help in the way of some vital information. after all, majority of the users on here aren't experienced users otherwise they wouldn't need to come here for support.
Regardless of that marco, these are the threads I do document.
whenever there is an exploit at vb.com there is an announcement, information made available that will help people in fixing that exploit.
