3rd party themes - additional risk to security vulnerabilities, and data breaches.
A month ago hostus.us hosting provider identified security vulnerability identified in their WHMCS theme Lagom Client Theme, which has led to unauthorized access to their WHMCS database by a hacker.

@Diwakar why dont you participate in discussions over creating 10s of threads? I have only seen you create threads and NEVER reply in the threads yourself.

@bikegremlin why doesn't LES have the minimum required posts before getting the permission of opening threads like other forums?
For (what I believe is still a vast) majority of users, this is not needed.
But it does detriment a new user from posting a genuine question or request via a new topic (when that makes most sense).
This is the problem of providers trying to just tick the 5+ post box, instead of participating in the community.
A solution for the spammy post or thread problem could be a 1-month provider tag request resolution delay for each spammy post.
A more extreme solution would be a ban - after one or several spammy posts.

Yea, you are right about the inconvenience to most users if there is no way for them to create threads...
Also, 1 month delay would just cause them to sign up and come back after a month to do the same while good providers would be hampered by the 1 month delay in offering services.
I guess monitoring spammy posts is the better way. Maybe have it count against their good posts? So at the end of the day, when they request a provider tag, count 1 spammy post as -2 good posts so there is more of an incentive to avoid spammy posts? I dunno. Forum moderating seems like a tough job! Good on you to keep it up

For me, due to vulnerabilities and other security related purposes, I'd rather have default whmcs theme that's fully secured than a good looking with security flaws.

Seen multiple hosts use Lagom. Crunchbits and Kuroit come to mind.

I've used WHMCS dark theme when I last used WHMCS(2020), not sure if it exists now.
Not aware that there is a backend theme available for WHMCS

There is no overlap. Creating discussions but never taking part in it is a form of spam. If you are spamming, your account may be banned so better participate in the threads you are creating ACTIVELY.

We have plans to make one. Similar to our Blestarized admin theme for blesta.

Wow, he really does have a track record. I think it's pretty clear we're out of "is this a spammer" territory then
