vb.org Archive - View Single Post - [3.0.0 beta 5] Read your members Private Messages

Personally i am very strong against this kinda hacks. On the other hand Jelsoft and their employees should take a neutral stand. In some countries it might be illegal, in others perfectly legal.

First of all if you will ever use this kinda things i think you should warn your members BEFORE you use it that their private messages might be monitored. Also set some rules on when you will use it.

An easy to use hack where you don't even need to lookup a usernumber would invite admins to read private mails without any reasons. I think it should only be used after complaints (not really needed then, the member complaining could send a copy of the PM to admin), or when admins have very strong suspicions.

Just my personal thoughts on this.
