There are threads months old that have an RTM tool or whatever. User posts fake Virus Total or whatever the case is, and some of our users download and identify that it's got virus or multiple viruses embedded in it. This thread isn't checked by staff to verify or debunk these claims, and the post is left unlocked. I realize there is a ton of people posting things.
Perhaps there should be something in place to either lock new threads posted in the tools sections of the game threads until someone from staff can test, or there should be a "contact us first" rule in place before new members are allowed to post these tools at will. It's just a suggestion, maybe it's more work than I realize. There are a ton of talented coders here. Maybe a few of them could be promoted to or volunteer to be the checkers of these tools? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
