#1 | Security datum

Sun Aug 22, 2010 5:30 pm

I have a suggestion to improve the security of Xobor's forums.
Would it be possible for you to implement something that renders thr root admin account (the forum creator) un-bannable and un-deleteable?

This would stop hacking attempts (i know about these full hand, as my previous Xobor forum was hacked).
Also, would it be possible for you to implemented a "Support Ticket" service into the admin panel.
This could be used to report hackers etc straight to you guys so you can investigate it quickly.

Thse are just some idea's, and i think they may be suefull.

Thanks for your request!

We consider one administrative account is enough for most forums.

If you need more than one admin, consider using moderators instead.
If you still need more than one admin, all administrators should be very trustful.

Your forum was not hacked. Another administrator changed or deleted your areas. You assigned administrative control to that member.

We will indeed add more security features.
In about 1-2 weeks we will collect data from failed login attempts. There will be a warning message for that.

Ingmar will update this topic next week.

Regards,
John

Thanks for the reply John.
Speaking of moderators, could you guys possibly add a global or super moderator group?

I myself did not give the person admin rights on my forum, my assistant admin did this. But you are right in syaing that it was not technically hacked.

Again, thanks for the reply.
