general questions How private are PM's?

So I was clicking around on my phone and I notice that PM's stood for personal message not private message. That kind of suggests to me that staff for example could view PM's. If that is so are there any limitations on this? How is that decided etc.

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't know the specifics of the admin CP on this particular site, but admins always reserve the right to check your PMs. When you sign up to the site you agree to it. While they don't do so willy nilly, they reserve the right to do so in the event of it being necessary, such as cooperating with the police during an investigation, etc. When you sign up for the site, you agree to this.

The only staff members capable of viewing PMs are Administrators, and the cases in which they do so are rather particular. We need to have it on good authority that something serious is going down via PM before we consider reviewing the PMs involved. The only other time a PM can be viewed by staff is if someone involved in the PM reports it. Outside of those two circumstances, PMs are entirely private.

I guess there is always a risk that your privacy possibly might be violated by someone other than you not only in this forum, around the internet as well. So you should be careful when you write something to your friends. Think twice, write once ;)

As someone who has filled the shoes as an Administrator and Moderator, I can personally vouch for what was said by King. It has to be a serious issue (like accusations of predation) before it is even considered.
