P M Monitoring FYI

Just a Head's Up.....

It has been brought to my attention that our PMs to one another "appear" to be monitored; so I recommend that if you have anything REALLY PERSONAL to say, use the e-mail address posted for the member as opposed to sending a PM.

I had thought of that some time back prior to becoming a moderator. As a moderator all I can view dealing with PM's is how many were sent/received overall in a status screen, no names attached and I CAN NOT open anyone's PM's to read them.

I have told a few here way back I thought it was always best to send E-mails if one did not trust the PM structure.

A "Systems Administrator" does have the ability. That is part of the policy and procedure with company e-mail as well as website administration. This privilege should ONLY be used for security purposes!

I think what you are referring to was in fact a copy of a PM being sent by the receiver of the PM to a site administrator. He sent it as a example of why he was so upset at a post. I had mentioned it and apparently somebody thinks I am reading others PM's. I have no way to see anyone elses PM's and don't want to. I don't want to read where someone is calling me a Jerk in Private. I call alot of you Guys Jerks in Private also but I don't want you to read it.
