This is post #1 -- read it.

There are always going to be circumstances where some boards, with some users, under some circumstances *may* have a need to verify what the heck is going on in PM's.

Abused users generally do not tell a forum admin they have been abused, nor do they forward PM's to an admin for action, nor do they complain... they simply stop coming to your site. They tell their friends "don't go there, they have nasty people sending your crap in PM."

It is very easy to scoff about porn posts, but if you take a site within it's context and add a scammer, stalker, extortionist or some other element which may heighten paranoia and fear, it may be the only way to solve an issue.

Monitoring general comms is not what this is about. It's about caring for your members and trying to eliminate those that would do your members harm. Some sites get more than their fair share of 'abuse' from internet scum.
