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?

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?
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.
