3. Does this make it easier for people to post destructive stacks? In my experience, if I were to download a program from within Revolution, I would trust that it won't do anything bad to my computer. I'm worried that Revolution Online allows people to submit Trojan Horses with the appearance of a trusted stack. Is there a filter for a posted stack?
oh boy that means: "All your stacks are belong to us..." paranoia?
not that it cannot be done, but hey, if you type open stack url "http://www.mySweetVirii.net/theStack.rev"; in your message box it will also be a problem... that is not something new with revOnline, if you going to execute anything on your computer, you'd better trust the origin of the source stack. I've never seen a destructive stack, but if some stupid script kiddie tries something like that, we'll just throw him out of revOnline.
The point is, it's not like Outlook where you can get viruses without executing them, were on revolution, stacks execute only if someone loads them... if you're afraid of that just don't run remote stacks.
