I certainly agree with the principle here. However, have you ever contacted the admin? Let's just say there's a reputation of delayed responsiveness :lol: Frankly, these kind of things (benign, but public, hacks) create an urgency of action, rather than something buried in the million admin emails from users complaining that another user insulted him and would the admin please ban that person immediately.

(Yeah, I've run major forum systems before. There's a reason I don't volunteer to do it again)
