You know, this is one of those hacks, as an admin... I don't really want to admit I have... but I got a bot that has managed to bypass vBulletin's image verification, etc... to register and then PM me with an advert for his crap that enabled him to register and spam me with PMS !

Hello, Bluetiereign!
I see you want to promote your website. More effective, for less price...
It's easy . *X*.09 P*m is a software complex, which can post to more than 1.000.000 forums, blogs, guestbooks, BBS's, boards, etc.*
It's price was grow up to $540, and continues growing.
Just use Google for purchase X*r.
P.S. Do not use X*9 and X*.0 - it is too old and buggy versions.

So... I take the time to go to the database, look up the id and get to deleting all of the spamming he has done to the other members.
So, if I want to read PM's.. I could do it anyway since I have access to the database... no, I do not want to read your PRIVATE message's... but yes, I do want a quicker way than digging through the database to see if I'm the only one getting spammmed... so yes.. I have this installed - not to read PM's - but to lighten the load a bit.
Sorry... I just hate having to actually need this. But thanks, it is useful.
