Are the mods reading your PMs??? Did you know they could do this??

CHUCHO,

On October 18, we posted a reminder thread about begging for coupon codes. So far, we have found at least 19 requests for the link to your own page with the scan of a Staples $50 off $200 coupon, most of which you replied to. That is a direct violation of our rules. Also, the reproduction on your page also states that no copies/facsimiles are not allowed. This constitutes fraud.

You are banned from our forums. Everyone who PM'd you to request your link to the coupon has won two weeks elsewhere. We really wish all of you had taken our warning post seriously.

So all of you can stop asking me for links to unapproved sites!!!

A forum wide warning was made and posted in Hot Deals. Those members who chose to disregard the rule have earned that two week vacation.

I dont think they can read PMs but people were so blatant in asking (and thanking) for coupon codes thorugh PM that it was obvious some funky stuff was being exchanged via PM.

LOL, I wonder if the Mods had a chuckle reading those PMs between me and MiataGirl (she kept trying to convince me she was a girl!)

Interesting. So, we know the mods can view our supposed "private" messages, our passwords, our email addresses(should we have chosen to hide them) as well as IPs and any other information ever entered(or somehow accessable) through this site.

Watch your back. :)

How can they see our passwords should be encrypted?
