How private are PMs?

I mean are they being read by the Mods? the Elites? Anand? How Private are they? And how incriminating are they? For example if I was private messaging someone about something illegal could the mods just look at my private msgs and ban me?


You will never know just what we can and can not see.

First of all, you would have to be crazy to use PMs for anything you wouldn't want made public, let alone illegal. I would definitely NOT recommend that.

Second, Zuni posted once that someone named Noone can read the PMs.
 
At best only Zuni can read teh pm's. Anand probably has no real interest in teh pm's and mods may or may not have acces. However i am doubtful taht they would share this tidbit of information 😉
 
se PMs for good stuff or just private chat with Mods and fellow Anandtechers casue posting it in the forum would be either Neffing or just wasting forum space... Mods have their own rules about how much they are allowed to tell us, and also how many functions they have. The person with the most functions and power is Zuni, he is at the top of these forums, but still takes orders from Anand on what to do but he is the one who does them if you get what I am saying...

You may have control but you'll still into line, they all do MUHAHAHHA. Sorry got a tad carried away. 🙂

I wouldn't think of them as more then semiprivate messages at best I think hehe.
 
Well you know what I mean Zuni! But that is good that you have ultimate power over these forums, but also ultimate resposibility too! So good and bad in both ways...

Anyway good luck in the future with anything you do with these forums!

It occurs to me that if one were engaging in illegal activity using the resources of this forum it is rather idiotic to publicly ask this question.

Well said Russ! Gets people suspicious... Its amazing the power mods have over us! I think?! But they have alot of power is all I know. Not sure if they can read our PMs... But Zuni can cause he is the big guy when it comes to these forums.
