| by Peekay on 2011/8/18 19:11:33 If your client is hosting and operating the site, I can't see there being a problem with this. However, if your name is connected to the site hosting agreement in any way, then I agree with the original comment made by Dante7237. I believe the rules vary a little depending if the site is hosted in the UK or the USA, but legally you may be responsible for the comments posted in that forum if the forum was used for any illegal activity. For example, if your client used it to encourage a patent violation (it doesn't have to be porn) and you were unable to moderate the forum when someone complained, then as overall site webmaster I'm pretty sure you could be held liable for the consequences. You would be better off signing a non-disclosure agreement than losing control of the forum IMHO. |

| by wetsteve on 2011/8/18 18:42:08 This problem only has a work around... by doing as suggested and removing myself from the webmaster group and adding a new group as suggested... This answer/confirmation came from WishCraft Himself... Later/WetSteve |

| by wetsteve on 2011/8/14 17:11:30 Good suggestion... Except for the fact that This particular theme has a C-Panel that is only visible when you are logged on in the webmaster group... This C-Panel allows a multitude of changes to be made to the theme... so this one theme can literally have many thousands of different looks! I need to have access to this C-Panel for quick changes on the fly... I would rather find the fix for the permissions within the XForum module itself... Later/WetSteve |

| by wetsteve on 2011/8/14 16:20:54 Actually the reasons are... I am a paid contractor... there is another person who is part of the developement team who is part of the Board Of Directors and has full access and he will be the moderator of that category and the forums within... As I am not a Director of the organization I fully understand their wanting me not to have access... Later/WetSteve |
