The tokens to hide/unhide new style message board posts had neither a viewrule or a roster control. This allowed them to be accessed on any message board on AOL. It allowed any AOL account to list hidden posts and hide/unhide posts on any New Style Message Board. This exploit was used to take down the Beta Central message boards on Halloween, 1997.
