shockz Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sounds like a permission issue, as staff can see it fine while members can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? What's the point of that? And have you read it? People aren't in agreement with you. Very odd thing to do! As a founder of the site, Neobond has no NEED to have 100% full access to user data, code and so on. A good security model starts with denying everything to everyone and opening up as NEED arises.

Did I say neowin in that topic? No I didn't. I suppose you don't even know what the idea of TheAdminZone really is. It's a place where forum owners get together and talk about different aspects of running a forum. @AndrewI sure will let Dave get on with it.

Firstly, I didn't mention you saying the name of the forum. Secondly, you don't administer Neowin. I find your actions very odd, and your understanding of security very troubling.

As I said in my previous post, I will get around to it when I have the time. There are other issues which are more important to the running of the site that will be addressed first. Replies to status comments are not a core piece of functionality, and so not top of the list. Danielx64 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, while they do have full access here, I can think of a number of other situations where some don't. I doubt any reputable company gives their CEO full reign of systems via their own domain admin account, unless technically inclined to do so.
