Forums - Website Topics - Just how secure and safe is Vgchartz?

He doesn't have special rights. What he does can be done by anyone on the forum. It's just him who obviously has too much time on his hands.
The problem is that this forum parses all html code including that in the comments and our stupid browsers execute all html code they see. That way we are able to post articles of other websites intact.

It should be fairly easy for someone to plant malicious code inside of comments. It then is a matter of how resilient our browsers are against that code.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Is somebody messing with this website right now? Some of the formating doesn't seem to work anymore, like underlining.

I got a unusual warning that showed "fatal error" about 30 minutes ago when I tried to visit this very thread.

I've noticed this too. Several formating options don't seem to function, at least on my devices.



Sometimes this site makes me say "your" when I mean "you're" or " there " when I mean "their". It's really annoying and I hope they fix it.

You'll have to ask ioi that; but from what I've seen it's more editing the site code as opposed to taking anything away from it. So in short, it should be fine.

What do you think of my suggestion to the mod team? Is it unreasonable? 

I don't think we'd be doing a very good job if we let the site run down into anarchy, to be honest.

Enjoy trimming quote trees.

That was one of those "site is inaccessible" errors that occur from time to time. They are unrelated to the current problem.

I see. 

I can underline. No problems here.

Edit: Opps. I can't



Sometimes, I try to browse this site and I end up going to pornhub and masturbating. More reasons why I just don't feel safe browsing this site.

Haha it shows up underlined when quoting you but not in the thread =P



One time, I was viewing Vgchartz on my cell phone and I ran over a dog. ioi needs to fix this issue as soon as possible.
