I installed this hack.
To all the people who have privacy issues, remember that the board has no responsibility to keep messages private, although an ethical administrator will. There are times on occasion when I do have to go into the PMs and make a ban based on what I find there. Unfortunately, I will get users who sign up and PM everyone on the active list with a lkink to his site/free-ipods/referral link. This blatant spam and pimpage is not welcome, and this hack allows me to protect my users from spam easier. Also, on occasion, I have found users PMing links to porn to each other. This is in strict violation of the rules, and needs a way to be enforced. An administrator who wishes to abuse privacy will always find a way to do so, this tool is merely a convience to those administrators who have a reason to go through PMs on occasion.
