Super Admins can Read Private Messages
 

Important: version 1.7 alpha 1 is for 3.7.3 PL1 and not meant as a stable build.

Admins who don't want to hide their plugin from other admins can import the product .xml file and then put the cpnav_readpm.xml in the includes/xml/ folder so their left menu has a link to pm.php

What does this do?

This allows a super admin to read the private messages (all folders) from any registered member through the admin control panel.

This was really the first hack for version 3 of vBulletin, and now upgraded to 3.5 because of many .. many .. many requests. ..many.

Documentation: Read the pm.php file.

Installation: Upload to admincp/

Usage: admincp/pm.php?userid=x (where x = userid)

Author: Scott (the ninja code):ninja:

Moral: Don't use this pm.php to read your member PM because you can or because you are curious, but to find evidence of PM-spam or in case of scams, fraud, court order related issues or because the bunny has to get it.

Disclaimer: No stuffed animals were hurt, repeatedly.

Support: No

Floris, what are the differences between your mod and the one found here?

browse using folders I think

NOTE:

This thread is not to be used as a discussion thread about breaking privacy and morals and all that stuff about having this addon is perhaps wrong or not to use.

We've already had that discussion and my point of view about this shall not change, nor do I use this on my own sites. If you disagree with this resource, don't use it!

That is not the one Scott and I made, and this is.

Lmao! Ok.

All discussion about liabillity of authors have been split from here and can continue herE: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92835

Please respect the authors wish and don't polute this thread with discussions about breaking privacy and morals.

Great hack, useful for catching the spammers. Good job!

um one question... what is super admin? is that the first user/admin created during forum installation?

Sweet. THANKS.
