why mod security off in htaccess

[Nodaz]

Just checking htaccess on several SMF sites, one had this entry:

Code Select Expand

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Any particular reason to have it or not?  I dont recall adding it, perhap a mod?

It causes issues at time with forums mods.

Generally if you have ;id= in the url request will fail.
Also common words like cc: to: in forum posts may cause an error.
Their are various rules in mod_security that cause trouble at times.

mod_security has caused problems on many forums, recommendation is to disable it.  Usually can be done in cpanel.  AFAIK there isn't a mod that disables it via .htaccess.
