View Full Version : Pm's?
OK, so not sure if this thread will survive, it's not scare mongering but I have been asked the question a few times now so I thought I'd answer all at once.
Can anyone read your Pm's:
No anyone cannot but vBullitin after a lot of requests included this feature in version 3.7.3 tso only Super administrators can access and read them, not mods but if a Super Admin gives a Mod access to the Admincp they too can read them but the question is would they be bothered, for the most part NO.
Is this feature used I dunno but there you go..

The mods do not have access to the Admincp, and even access for me and Nicole is restricted. Nobody accesses private messages fella, nor would we have any inclination to do so.

The question, do they have a record of all the pm's you have ever made? If so, that is quite alarming. They would certify me or lock me up if they read some of mine. :eek:

I must say Brother Anon that I was not aware of this........but then I'm practically I.T. illiterate.
But maybe E-I uses a different version of vBullitin to this 3.7.3 version.

We have enough to do modding the boards let alone the pms. Mods do not have nor would we want to have that ability

They would certify me or lock me up if they read some of mine. :eek:If you haven't deleted them well then yes, they are visible, unread PM's can be read also and they will still look unread to you.
We have enough to do modding the boards let alone the pms. Mods do not have nor would we want to have that abilityLike I said already Doozer, as a default only admins can so not surprised mods can too, afterall I'm sure admins don't want a volunteer mod reading their PM's ;)
I personally would have no interest whatsoever to view pms.: doc
If you haven't deleted them well then yes, they are visible, unread PM's can be read also and they will still look unread to you.
Every single one has been deleted, but I thought it might a bit like your computers hardrive, always there and accessable with the right software. As you say, if anybody would be bothered.
I personally would have no interest whatsoever to view pms.: docI can see why the feature was added and on an escort site with so many unsavoury characters I am sure it comes in useful.

What the hell has brought this on all of a sudden? Nobody accesses private messages. I'm sure there are plenty of things we don't want to know.

The concern has always been there, especially to anybody with a guity conscience or with something to hide.

And some of us like Anon have bigger things to hide, while others like Mousey have smaller things to hide. Tell me Sam, from the messages that Doc and Magic were sending each other, did they each show the other one what they had to hide.....and were they flaccid or erect? :D:D:D
I shall just quote a post from another forum, I like the choice to remove Private Messages and replace with just Messages LOL
This has turned into a silly debate.
When I had a forum, we would pro-actively read messages to:
1. Trace people who were advertising
2. Trace people who were scamming
3. Trace people who were otherwise violating our rules (abuse etc)
As a result, we renamed "Private Messages" to just "Messages" and we informed our users of this.
I think it's up to each board administrator whether or not they read the messages. Imo, nobody should have the right to tell another board admin what to do on their forum, providing they're not breaking the law in the country in which they reside. (And even if they are, it's a case for the authorities, not you!)

Going off topic here slightly, why is it so difficult to change avatars?:mad:

Why not call them Non-private Messages, or Open Messages, or Open Letters, or Love Letters, or French Letters........E-I should just run a monthly competition to come up with a new title for PMs..........I always got confused between PMs and PMS and was afraid to write to people in case they got narky with me. :D:D:D
No, I was too busy reading Dr Love's flirty messages to Magic ;)Don't even go there Samuel .: lol
Nice one Sam. :)WTF magic , deny deny bro , beacuse it's the truth .: lol

Is this true Samlad?:D
Does it actually matter if I say it is or not? LOL! The truth seems to be whatever people decide anyway.
We don't read PM's people.
Is this true Samlad?:DYes it is, if an admin wanted to they can read PM's

We don't read PM's people.No, to the vast majority it doesn't matter if you can or can't, me included, I would actually call for the facility to be available if it were my site as I can see in certain circumstances where it may be necessary.
Yo Senior brothers of EI, how do I change the avatar??? I went to settings and did the rig-ma-role, it keeps saying invalid request, and I did both( inserting a link/from computer drive ).

Open the image in Paint, find resize and make your image 100x100 then upload it.

So, I have to get Samlad to change it for me then? That's the way I did it the last time,thanks for the help Anon.
It's pretty clear that admin users can read pm's. They say they don't. There's no way for us to tell, so it's all a question of whether you trust them or not.

I can see this thread being locked and put away soon!:D
I use pm to make appointments and to thank the lovely ladies that I have seen.
I can see why the need for access to pm's is necessary on rare occasions and have no problem with that.
It would be great if escorts that have email listed actually replied.
Can I just say, Anon you are wrong, there is no vbulletin feature to read PMs. Go check your facts :)

Patricia, you disappoint me, the admin features of vBulletin are well documented and admins ability to read PM's is well covered. Now I have a PM from an admin of a different site using the same version v as this site and he confirmed he can but would be be bothered so I don't post things without checking my facts:p

Please check!!! Show me a link to where this feature is documented. I'm being straight with you, we have never had such a feature, I don't believe it exists, well not as a standard vbulletin feature anyway. It's ok if I'm wrong, but I really have never heard of this feature you talk of.

Like my mate said, it is a feature but if you don't understand vBulletin you can use an ad-on, here is the code to use within vBulletin without the need for the ad-on.
acp->run query-> select * from pmtext
you can also see everything with phpmyadmin.

You are confirming my point here. I didn't say it was technically impossible for a website operator to monitor PMs on their vbulletin, but we don't, we never have, and it is not a standard vbulletin feature.

You obviously didn't read my initial post, I confirmed it was possible, it is a standard feature but doesn't come activated as standard, you need to alter the code but as I said would you be bothered, probably not!!
