Did you know that PMs are monitored by the mods?

[LordJezo]

Just wondering if everyone knew that...

 

[loup garou]

Yes.

 

[BigSmooth]

Yes, I knew that. I don't think they're actively monitored, but they can go in and look if they want to.

Why wouldn't they monitor? If I want secure communications, I'll use my PGP email.

Sort of defeating the point of Private Message dont it.

Are you guys sending love notes to each other? :Q

 

[dighn]

if you have something to hide, use encryption

 

[LordJezo]

Also because the mods are also regular users.. so if you start having a flame about one of them in PMs they could watch and then have a personal vandetta against you.

 

[Thegonagle]

Yes. I don't think that they're actively monitored, but they sure can access them if there's a complaint or other reason. I know that, and accept that. This is a privately owned web site, where the owners rule is law.

Yeah if the mods can and/or do monitor it, they can't call it private messaging. Can the mods delete or edit PMs?

 

[Shockwave]

I find the best thing to do is just copy the mods on all my PM's containing porn and illegal file sharing sites and info. Kinda a scratch each others back thing 😉

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Yes, but never gave it thought. Whats to hide?

[Pliablemoose]

Yep, got my one & only vacation by asking for a coupon code by PM, (I could have sworn private message stood for private.

 

[geckojohn]

Yeah, that sucks... its not really a private message then. Uncool

That's just stupid. They got their right to do it I guess, but it still doesn't mean that they're not stupid for doing it.
