TheGuest Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Do we have confidentiality and privacy when sending pm's to each other or are the moderators allowed to read them aka have access to them . I think this is a very important question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I can read them if I really want to. It involves me trawling through the database as there's no interface for it but I can do it. I've only had to do it a few times when people were abusing the PM system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Do we have confidentiality and privacy when sending pm's to each other or are the moderators allowed to read them aka have access to them . I think this is a very important questionLike anything else on the internet, if you have to ask if it's safe to do, it probably isn't. Regardless of if mods can read your messages or not, you probably shouldn't be sending personal information or sexual dialogues through any electronic medium as there may still be someone off-site who is privy to your conversation. Virtual sex is also just plain icky, and in this day and age, extremely lame... Edited June 19, 2010 by Vagrant0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can any Moderator perform this search at his/her discretion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepside Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 as far as i know the moderators will only be able to see it when they are invited as participant. wich i couldn't see if that was possible yet.if it is not available it might be a nice addition when members pm to eachother and one of them needs the advice of a moderator/admin about the pm.

TheGuest Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I do agree anything of sexual nature would be totally lame here lol I did not mean it that way btw but as members we should be entitled to some sorta privacy when talking about mods for example which are not allowed here or anything of that nature.(I DONT MEAN PIRACY ! ) Dont you agree that its every persons right to talk about anything they want as long as they dont make it public ? it is scary to think that all our pm's are being read (if they are of course) and looking at the amount of people that have been banned makes it even more so. Thank you for feed back btw. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I do agree anything of sexual nature would be totally lame here lol I did not mean it that way btw but as members we should be entitled to some sorta privacy when talking about mods for example which are not allowed here or anything of that nature.(I DONT MEAN PIRACY ! )Last I checked, the only mods which were not allowed here were those which contained ripped/stolen resources or are of a content nature which is not appropriate for anyone (pedophilia, bestiality, rape, ect). In one case, you are talking about something very close to piracy. In the other, you are talking about things which are illegal for anyone to posses or use under international law. So still not sure what sort of content you are talking about that is both, not illegal, but still something which you would feel insecure letting others know about. If you have nothing to hide, why ask if it's safe to be hidden? That said, I doubt Dark0ne is bored enough to go sifting through random PMs of members just on whim. If there's reason that he should be suspicious of someone activities, he is allowed to do so, it's his site, but it is unlikely as far as I know. However this does not mean to say that your PMs can't be reported and sent to be reviewed for content if the recipient or the sender so chooses. Meaning that regardless of what you are sending, you should make sure that the recipient both wants what you are sending them and won't have any reason at a later date to report you for it. Meaning that you should still do so at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuest Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 GOD no ! none of those mods, i wasnt even thinking about that . What i was referring to if i may be so blunt was some Russian mod sights that have mods which are not welcome here or so im led to believe. Now i will not name anything as per rules but that is a concern to me as to why it is forbidden to talk about them or even suggest a link to them. thats all :) btw : is it at least permitted to talk about those mods in pm with another user or users that ask .
