Gerry Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I was chatting to a member on another forum yesterday and they made a little remark that made us both stop and think ! We had been PMing each other for a while and it occurred to us that our PM's may make "entertaining" reading to others ! And this isn't mkivsupra.net (nothing to hide on here) but another forum on the same operator system. So... do mods / super-mods etc usually have access to what is written in PM's, I assume not, but would be interested to know Yours John Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 They know everything. I am going to test this theory. What is the meaning of life? Oh and where is a ladies "fun" button.... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 They know everything. In that case, when I refer to her “bum” I was obviously talking about her little Scotts Terrier called “Bum” and how he likes to be kissed. What a sloppy little doggy - phew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity14 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I know of one forum that does, but its the superuser not the mods that can see PM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Was going to say - running a forum myself - it depends how you configure permissions in the admin panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 vBulletin by default cannot show other users PM's - either in the user control panel here, or via the Admin Control Panel. It is possible, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I assume some mods of a certain 'quality' would be able to read PMs for investigations/reports of abuse etc, so now you've alerted them, I can guarantee someone will have a peek!

martini Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 It's not a very time efficient way to find Nizam though, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Oh yes, we're very relaxed about people's privacy around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I bloody hope not! That said, I've accidentally replied to PMs through email before a few times which obviously doesn't work and instead gets redirected to mods. According to my Mod "on the inside" some quite amusing sorties are shared on the mod yacht after reading these Be careful what you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 This thread inspired me to clean out all my old pms (1560 of the little blighters). Ahhh that feels soooooooo good! Thanks Gezzer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 There are add-ons for it. I can't remember but I may have even made an add-on for it previously too. I used to work with a company in developing vBulletin add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Isn't it just the red ones who can peruse your PMs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Isn't it just the red ones who can peruse your PMs? Yes. (but it's just not done unless under exceptional circumstances - ie trading via PM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 We can't read your PMs.... BUT if you get all naughty and need correction then we can do certain things involving GCHQ, the Space Shuttle and Barry Scott to check who's been 'at it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
