Another mod brought to you by,


This mod will act as a roadblock to prevent people from right clicking on your forum, offering some sort of protection from people copy & pasting your content.

Yes, that is standard behavior for most browsers. Some show the cancel box on first right click, some on second, some on the third try.

This mod will definitely not stop someone from copying text from your site if they really want it. There are numerous ways to get it, even with right click disabled. It will just slow them down a little and hopefully in that time you can get the point across that your work is not free to distribute.

I personally recommend adding a "Copyright Warning" to the message that appears on right click. That'll stop a few more.

Other than that don't waste your time worrying about trying to stop people because there is nothing you can do. The saying goes "If you don't want it copied, don't put it on the internet!".

There are legal ways to force people to remove it once it has been copied and posted somewhere else, but that is whole other topic and is pretty well documented - Google is your friend there.

Yes i agree. I am going to hope that people who steal pictures are lazy and won't try more than once

Unfortunately, yes. But there is always a way to capture data, this MOD just makes it a bit more difficult.

It should not. Right clicking of a mouse is not a function that a spider needs to simulate.
