-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I agree, and don't see it as an issue to fix someone elses mod so it doesn't do something for example, so I don't see the shell issue as needing to be fixed as such, thats just a by product of whats an insecure setup that a lot of people are ignorant of (rightly or wrongly).
However, I just think they could be an ickle wickle bit more helpful in terms of design to prevent that like some other games do (i.e even set it as default you can't add a binary/mod without changing settings). There's quite a bit realistically could be done to help alleviate situations that arise from ignorance, I just think it apt to try and help, rather than to try and shut the door on it.
