SocialCMSBuzz gets banned from the pligg forums for revealing PYcURL Security Vurnability
“We had previous indications that the pligg team couldn’t handle criticism well from the experience of reading certain posts in their forums, now however they have turned to banning our forum user account for revealing that Pligg v9.9.0 is still vulnerable to automated PycURL bot spamming attacks.
We posted a link in their forums to an article we wrote a few days ago here as to nudge them into fixing the vulnerability which has been outstanding for months, This however resulted in ourselves one of the more active contributors to the pligg project Banned Permanently by YankiDank.
Oh! and apparently the ban was for Inappropriate Ranting and theft of some kind of content go figure that one out?”
SocialCMSBuzz gets banned from the pligg forums
Definitely a great loss to the members of Pligg who frequent the support forums, socialcms has been a fantastic contributor to those forums offering templates, modules, hacks, tutorials and general help.
All of work they do now will be available from their website, http://socialcmsbuzz.com
Heres to the return of socialcms to the Pligg support forums soon, so that we can all benefit from their knowledge and time.

Sad! It would seem to me that those guys are not very good at recognizing the benefit of the free resources being offered to them and their members. Perhaps they will come to their senses soon.
