Description of Problem:
NotOverridable Subs are not supported currently, see this example:

public class myTestApp
public shared sub Main()
System.Console.WriteLine("hello world!")
System.Console.ReadLine()
end sub
notoverridable sub ebbes ()
system.console.writeline("")
end sub
end class

That is the compilation error:
Cannot be declared NotOverridable since this method is not maked as 
Overrides (0,0) : error failed: 2 Error(s), 0 warnings 


How often does this happen? 
Everytime

This doesn't look like a bug rather a check provided by mbas compiler.

NotOveridable will work if implemented it in following fashion

Class B
    Public Overridable Sub F1()
    End Sub
End Class

Class D
    Inherits B

    Public NotOverridable Overrides Sub F1()
    End Sub
End Class

If a class is derived from another which contains a Overridable sub 
or function then that particular sub/function can be declared 
NotOverridable to prevent Overriding in the next level.

By default every public function/sub is NotOverridable hence the 
compiler doesn’t entertain specifying the same modifier explicitly 
and returns the exception what you are getting.
