As far as im aware most of the modding is pretty secure.

The syntax mod is one i found on punres (http://punres.org/desc.php?pid=48) however it has afew bugs in it (eg. if you don't supply a language it doesn't parse the code at all), so i currently don't have it installed.

I fixed in next release (1.1.5) uploaded for last version of PunBB
http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=1439
it was use Geshi or FSHL or phpMSH engine, open syn/config.php for more setting.

If your people come crazy, you will not need to your mind any more.
