So 2 viruses in the past few weeks(only that I have caught). And I have seen several reposts.

If a user posts a malicious file report the post, then wait patiently for a mod to log in and deal with the reported post.

And by then it has 40-50 downloads.

Great, another viruses was approved. A freaking obvious one too.


Also the quote says that the queue system is to stop this. Well it clearly isn't stopping it...

The queue system is only for a few sections of the forum, this one not included.

It may get a few downloads, but that's what anti-virus software is for. We mods will delete and ban those that post malicious files.

It isn't that hard to make an undetectable virus.

Then what are you complaining about?
All popular forums are going to have people posting viruses, if they post an undetectable one, then that sucks, but eventually we'll find it.

If we find a virus we deleted it.

We don't approve queued posts that contain viruses.

I have already spotted 3 new threads approved that contain viruses.

1 of them was so freaking obvious too. I mean, CID working on the latest patch. Do you guys even read what you approve?

I agree that whoever approved those posts were very in the wrong.
I read and download every thread that needs approving.

Errors like this won't happen again.

As kinshi says,

If I see posts that need approval, I look at, download, and them upload them to multiple virus scan sites. That being said, I do not approve all the posts. Another mod may miss them, so please excuse them.
