Moria, your approach is to correct the created problem.

My approach is to prevent the problem from being created.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. Namely, a disease and affecting the name of MsgPlus versus some lack of liberty for writing scripts.

I know Patchou will make a good decision, whatever it is. I just hope Patchou reads the message.

Octavio.

How about allowing the user to create scripts but requiring that Patchou and the coding team needing to manually review and add them to a future version.  Either that or you could put downloadable .EXE files of the approved add-ons which contain a special encryption algorithim that would need to be present in order for the Messenger Plus client to accept the add-on program/script.  You could prevent any viruses/worms from spreading if you did that because it would require the scripts to be submitted for approval before they're even used and/or implemented.

500.000 mp2 users. the scriptkiddies of 'm might create a script every week...... Do you think Patchou has 48 hours a day to do f*cking things like that??
