Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Who says the members of that group are to be trusted?Nobody.
But then, who's says that any scripts that are posted here, now, can be trusted?
Nobody.
If a script can be reviewed by others and deemed to be "trusted" by the [scripting] community (or parts thereof), then it's better than no review at all, or even the possibility of someone posting a link to a script here, advertising it as "Coup V10", and it ends up sending users' WLID details off to a database somewhere.I just think that having these things posted and supported here (albeit through the threads and/or groups and not directly by Bungie; I'm aware of that) creates implicit approval and a potential liability for Bungie should someone find a way to use them for malicious purposes. Someone hacks the hosting server and modifies the scripts to do something malicious, or the reviewers overlook a piece of malicious code, whatever. Being an auditor by trade, I just see a big risk and not much reward for Bungie itself.
But regardless of anything I've said, at the end of the day, it's your choice to install something into your browser/computer; nobody else's.Agreed.
But will Jack Thompson see it that way? :-P
