I would say Xenforo admins should write in Terms of xenforo that harmful add-on is blacklisted because new users not aware about these blacklisted add-onsXenforo did. They removed the addons and banned the user. Trying to type the word results in *******. Zero search results too.
Unfortunately that is a major fault, since there is no search results to show how poor their practices were.

Is that specifically noted when users purchase Xenforo? ie: outside of "just knowing", how would a new XF Admin be aware of this?General rule of thumb is if an addon developer is not promoting their services on here, stay away from them.
I agree, even with addons that are sold/promoted on Xenforo.No, but due diligence is the responsibility of the site owner, research the developer or addons before you add them to your site.
Really, a stern warning about potential danger of addons should be prominent. I do see your point here.Is that specifically noted when users purchase Xenforo? ie: outside of "just knowing", how would a new XF Admin be aware of this?
Can you tell me what theme it was?I generally don't give much more than a glance at a site's content for very quick jobs. No time for distractions when working.
I initially took a look at it back in early January when he had performance issues (database had some bad settings, like a query cache over 512MB in size). I looked again today after he said there are more issues. This time I went through pages to look for queries which are problematic or anything else suspect before I started a file scan. Well, I found his site is has a section trading database dumps, stolen credit cards and stolen gift cards.
I logged out of ssh immediately, closed the browser window, notified him I can't work for him, and I'm walking away. I will not knowingly work with any site which does this sort of thing.
Indeed someone has hacked the site because on the first visit in a private window it will sometimes throw a malware warning. If it's Briv* then it's ironic.
