Actually, this is a new feature. We could read e-mails before but not PM's. A but back we used this but then got rid. There is no need to worry about your privacy. It is purely to make sure spam is stamped out.

Lolz. Simple, if you don't spam you have nothing to worry about. Only people we think may spam get logged. If we receive reports of spam, then we check the member out. I seriously have fucking better things to do than read Durans, or most peoples PM logs, believe it or not.

And Duran, it's a bigger issue than you think.

Haha, this is a microcosm of the issues America is having with the NSA spying on U.S. citizens and the PATRIOT Act...

"If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But if we suddenly suspect you of doing something wrong, we can spy on you, and we won't tell you or anybody else that you're being spied on, and we won't tell you how to trigger our suspicions"

Not that I've ever used the PMs on this board, but still, I see where Duran is coming from

Yeah, except this isn't a country...it's a message board. I think our admin team we have is honourable and trustworthy, and just as I wouldn't read others logs whom I didn't have evidence of mal activity, I'd expect the other admins to do the same to me and all the members.

It's simple, me Made and Weak are all busy guys, we simply don't have the time to read 100 or so peoples PM's. We simply have this feature in case, if you think us admins had any intention of reading random PMs, then why would we have notified you members?

Place a bit of trust in us for once gaiz.
