i think 3 emails too much any member of staff could go awol and they could end up dloading a forum and hosting it illegally just my opinion

Just as a by the way

Adding someones email address to your members area does not give them access to your members area. The same applies for using your account on the forums.

I'm very interested to see which way this goes though as I know of a few accounts that are shared between people on here and it drives me nuts as you never know who you are talking to and if you send a PM to someone it could be read by someone who it was not intended for. (This is different to staff reading PM's as that is just routine monitoring. I don't even know if they do that on the Jelsoft sites but you never know )

I'm rather sure that staff on Jelsoft sites does not read other members' PM's.
We value our members privacy.

On vb.org we don't have a read pm hack installed.

It would also be to much to read through all pms, so it's not only a issue of privacy (which is of course the main reason), but also an issue of number of staffmembers, regarding reading through pms of 10k licensed accounts would surely take a while ^^

I guess you guys didn't take note of the at the end of that sentance in my post?

I never actually thought for a second that it was in use here but was using it as a hypothetical illustration.

we noticed, but other may not have noticed, so to be on the save side

We just got confirmation from Jelsoft, the owners of vBulletin.

You cannot share email accounts to get access to members' areas.

Basically, a license owner can add 3 email accounts to his or her own member's priority list. 3 email accounts EQUALS 3 individuals, including himself or herself. Not more.

We have been instructed to shut down any email accounts that we find out have been used by more than 1 person to access members' areas.

1. Who's kosher?
2. Why would it be a problem? I don't understand, it's not access to the member's area, it's just so the IFF Admins can download hacks and install them

Zach i think he means:

PHP Code:

IIF($admins, 'can download','install them');
