    Josh dear have you checked FM forum lately? :eusa_whis



    The issue is that to give them access to Edit Filter we have to give them access to the highly sensitive VB Options. The problem is not trust in them - its damage minimization pretty much. If someone gets hacked by whatever freak circumstance only certain people can cause mass damage that require backups. Because people will get hacked. For example, since Immenseman had admin, not superadmin, Mr.OSH was able to disable his account, and only manager accounts could be edited, and then only articles could be edited. The levels of permissions prevented catastrophe, the situation was fixed in under half an hour, and really no damage was caused, besides a little bit of graffiti.
    Good to hear. :p

    Lol I say the whole filter should be scrapped, it wouldn't do any harm and it would treat us as mature teenagers/adults. After all, Habbox.com has the official status and not HabboxForum so I don't see any harm.
    Coz i wanted to say "Orgasm is ********" but it didnt work out.

    I can't see the discussions being all that brilliant

    "I had sex last night, it was ORGASNIC*"

    Not exactly hardcore stuff right there

    *obvious the word should have an M

    Not sure why security is much of a threat. As long as you hire someone who has a seperate email for the forum and has the brains not to download anything without true knowledge of what they're download, go on any sites that phish etc etc, they'll be alright. But I guess it's vBulletins fault for not having the features to only allow certain people into certain areas of the AdminCP e.g only the word filter and nothing else.
