I realise this was somewhat covered previously in [this question][1] but [this question][2], which is merely another in a long line of similar ones, prompted me to think that perhaps such questions should be actively discouraged by closing them as off topic. I simply don't believe we should be answering questions that require hacking or other questionable means to solve. If it's a genuine need any half decent admin should be capable of finding a solution on less reputable sites. Opinions?
