_**NO ONE SHOULD RUN GAMES ON HIGHLY PRIVILEGED RIGHTS.**_

It's a security nightmare, you are putting yourself at serious risk.

Please just don't.

If you **really** have a death wish, are on the mood to put your ass on the line just to see what happens or whatever, there's an option to turn this check off.

Reach me on the contact's page and I will try to demote you from the idea, but if I fail, I will tell you how to do it.
