hi,
just a fast question:
how unleagal is it to read members pm´s

Actually there is nothing unlegal about it...
It is YOUR board.. It is YOUR server.. Other users come and register at YOUR server.. I think you can do what you want.. You could have a server called: insult-me.com and insult your users on it..

It is different if you ask users to pay for registration.. and you promise them that they will have absolute privacy in your privacy policy.. If you read the PMs, stating in your terms of service that you dont.. and ask money for it.. I think they can sue you for not respecting your terms of service.. (Like giving a faulty description of the product you sell)

What I do.. I included a paragraph in my Terms of service: "In our fight against child pornography, our administrators have the possibility to check Private Messages for abusive content..."

I think that the important is, that in your TOS you let users know that you have the ability to do it..

But again.. i dont live in the US, and my server is not in the US.. so maybe law is different there.. I think US government is allowed to read your mails.. what governments in europe are not yet allowed to.. (but they are preparing laws for that)..

F.

Why do these threads ALWAYS turn into a debate about the legality/morality of reading PMs?

It's an available feature for those who need it, those who don't need it don't have to use it. The thread itself should be for support with the actual modification.

Isn't that something? Heh.:rolleyes:

I don't use this specific mod, but I DO have the 'Admin Log-in as User' mod installed, which gives me access to more things, including PM's. But reading PM's isn't why I was interested in it. And I've never used it for that, but I would in a heartbeat if I thought there was something fishy going on...ALL in the interest of my members safety.:)

very good
Thank you

What's the address I write in the browser so I can put the userid of the username? I had save it to my favorites but now i don't have it anymore...

Hi. Is there anyway to delete private messages of other members?

Thanks in advance.

<i>I believe this only works for SuperAdmin, and you should only have one SuperAdmin acc't. Other Admins wouldn't be able to use this.</i>

I hope this work with 3.7 becuase it is great hack :)

How do I uninstall this? Nothing wrong with it, just need to get back to a clean install for testing.

Thanks,
Ray
