I get that many people are concerned about is scoring systems, but it seems a lot more worrying to me that it allows arbitrary code execution.
Wait what? I read in other threads the code was bad, not I didn't think it'd be this bad.
As others have pointed out, it does still require (with some caveats about the infra setup) the user to be an admin. But if someone manages to get in to the interface, or another person is granted admin access who shouldn't have been, it makes it more risky than it needs to be. It also for me is a design choice that indicates other parts of the system should be carefully examined for how they're handling and sanitizing input.
Sounds like these settings are very reasonable to have turned on. Although I would be cautious of how the "4chan" filter is implemented, it sounds easy to overdo.
Can I as a user see which of these settings an instance has enabled?
Hi! What's up?
