Question for Admin....
 

Can Admin read PM's?

I don't really care whether they can or not... I would just like to know...

I think they can .. or at least someone w/ enough knowledge to look at the data files could potentially do so

... do they? ... I don't think so ... I HOPE.

No worries........as long as you don't write things you'd rather not share with others......:sshhh:nod

Does this mean they Can't or Won't?

Can anyone else, other than the sender and receiver?

No.

I understand that the database can be read thru something like PHPAdmin. If the database is accessible.

There are certain vBulletin hacks that allow admins to log in as someone else and read their PM's, post as them, etc. So technically, yes, admins can read PM's. That's not to say the admins here can do that. It's just to say that admins can if the right hacks are installed.

lol...I love how this gets brought up every now and then! :helicopter

We can only read PMs if you send them to us. :lol

Bump* for rgcraig...:noidea

From what I understand all the keystrokes here are available in raw data. It would not be in the form that we see it as post or pm's.

So technically, the person that has access to the database can see the raw data - not sure it would make much sense though.

Think about it, Sparky your existing PMs in your box are stored somewhere.

Can't and Won't. The hacks that Ron is speaking of would have to be added and as far as I know, we have no desire to read your pm's, so they would not be added to allow it.

Reading the posts are enough to keep us busy.

I trust the Admins however ....

Thanks...

We can NOT read your pm's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can not read any of your PM's unless they are too us, we can read some of your post, and none of your minds. ;)

So boys and girls...

Behave yourselves. Even if Admin cannot see what you all are writing to each other, the Lord sees it. Besides, I might even discern it. :D

:helicopter

I can read all PM's.

but I am too busy keeping the earth spinning.

You're so vain! This thread is not all about you! :tricycle:tricycle

HA! Look, they are singing to me! :choir

No

there are ways to look at them.

We don't use them.

They are private.

We've created a monster! :sos:sos:sos

Let me say it again.

We do not have ability to read Private Messages.

We don't want the ability.

No

there are ways to look at them.

We don't use them.

They are private.

Not unless we open them.

Again to end this question....

No

there are ways to look at them.

We don't use them.

They are private.

Do I need to answer this again?!?

Im kind of busy right now keeping the tides at the right level, but if you need help in reading some folks PM's, PM me and I will help out.

Please do. :largehalo

Would you mind repeating that answer? I didn't quite get it....:noidea

You are saying, YES, we can read them, but we don't.

There are ways! Brewhahahahahahahaha!

Did I get that right, Boom? :D

No, we do not have a way installed here to view Private Messages.

How many ways does this have to be answered.
