(Possible bug) [HIDE] Tags.

Ok i can imagine you guys know what the HIDE tags do but if you don't ill explain a little about them, you can hide a file with a post block (any post count amount of your choice) so leechers can't download a file that you upload, but there is a way around this, say someone sets a 500 post block and you have like 100, if you quote the post you can see what has ment to be hidden, i think that this needs fixing because this makes the HIDE tags pointless because leechers can just quote anyones post and still get the files that were ment to be hidden.

Example: Quote this post and post back if you can see past this post block
[HIDE=1452]Can you see this?[/HIDE]

There's a different vBulletin hide plugin which hides quoted content also.

Is that on here? I know what you mean i have seen it on afew forums.

personperson · 2007-09-03T23:02:45.000Z

No, it isn't on here. It's a completely different hide system. Works pretty much the same way, though.

Well MPGH could use a new one because without it, it makes the current hide system pointless.

I looked in the vBulletin plugins forum, and the only one found was the one used here.

Hmm, well am sure that it will get sorted eventually.

personperson · 2007-09-03T23:29:20.000Z

I found one: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=123527

Has a crapload of features, and the coder posted somewhere that if you quote hidden content, it's replaced with HIDDEN CONTENT.
