I'm not familiar with vBulletin but is there some way to re-open particular threads or allow only the original posters to re-respond? I find it extremely frustrating(or would, or will) to get a response in the form of a question in the current format. The second half of this post is therefore a response to a different thread.
(I appologize in advance for both quoting and naming names, but hopefully Linden skin is thick.

In the latest Why can we modify nomod objects :-/ Phoenix asks two questions:
Q1. How is this Kludgy?
and
Q2. Who is in danger?
A1. Well it's called No-Mod, not partial-mod. Yes there's a message... how many times has billing had to reverse tier charges because someone "didn't see" the warning that they were advancing tier? I've done years of software tech support and from what I've seen it takes a minimum of 3 "are you really, really sure you want to format C:, and erase all your tax files, address lists and pr0n?" prompts to actually get someones attention.
A2a. Anyone who scripts items using link_messages. Take apart their backpack (or, um, whatever they happen to use

link_message(int i,int j,str k,key m)
llWhisper(0,"I, " + (string)llGetLinkNumber() + " , " + heard prim " + (string)i + " say " + (string)j + " : " + k + " : " + (string)m);
unless they've put some sort of llGetCreator test you are halfway to gaming the system.
A2b. Anyone who puts copies of animations, sounds, textures, etc in an object. My example: I bought an animation from someone else for use in an AV I sell. It's no-mod/yes-copy. I cant use the UUID because it's not entirely mine. But someone else can drag that anim out and use it in their item. No-transfer in part negates this but not entirely. (Better business deals and/or buying Poser and learning how to use it would help but I hope no-one thinks thats the *best* answer.)
No-mod should be *no*-mod.
