Default read member PM

i'm not an evil admin or some pervert that goes on reading members inboxes. lately i've noticed a lot of spammers flooding my users inbox with ads. got few reports.

thats basically the reason. would it be possible to get a plugin or a hack that will allow only admins to read members PM?
thank you.

There is a (or maybe even more then 1) hack around that will allow you to read them.

Personally i would instruct your members to "report" such a pm by forwarding it to you. I am not a big fan of reading pm's.

not for vb350b2.

there are two problems with your suggestion.
1) sometimes user don't report even though we think some suspicious member are sending PM ads.
2) sometimes people will forward false image/messages with names of an innocent user. I can't verify.

That's why its best if the admins view the PMs. after all, its not for some other purposes, just to maintain a healthy community

This yout be preventd with a "Report PM link", which just takes the PM from the database: No user input, so no chance to manipulate anything.

Yeah, because I mean, what's the point of having such a hack if you can delete spammy/inappropriate/etc. PMs?
