How can mods see other people's personal messages?

[EctoBiologist]

Just asking how is it even possible since you guys said you can see other people's pms but you all just choose to not to.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

eh, i don't really care. all my private conversations i have over steam

and even then they probably aren't private because tabuu probably posts logs whenever he wants to

On my SMF forum I cannot check other people's messages, unless I sent them (outbox).

Ha.

Who did? I know for a fact I can't read anyone else's shit.

I dunno maybe it was crash or someone like that.

I remember whatever mod at the time who said it was also a mod in 2012... I think.

Privacy

Within the default interface of the SMF software there is no way an administrator or anyone else can read your personal messages. Only you and the person you sent it to are able to read what you wrote. However, if a person has access to the database itself, then it is possible for such a person to read personal messages by searching for them in the database with an SQL command. For this reason, it is advised to not send personal messages that contain private information that you do not wish for anyone else to read.

Pretty sure he was joking.

To elaborate, only Steve should be able to read PM's from others, but he doesn't seem to be the guy to do so to me. Besides, there's a lot of PM's sent every day, of which probably most don't contain sensitive data, so there really isn't a reason to.

or you could just find out their password and log into their account but that would be irresponsible and wrong

 

[Specific Neptune]

if they can then the whole Souda-Kun incident was pretty much useless, what with her forging that PM and all

 

[Lakituthequick]

I remember that. Heh.

 

[Specific Neptune]

that day was the day I stopped becoming a boy and became a man ¦3

so yeah, to answer your questionabillygoat, they can't see your PMs, UNLESS you report the pm to them

how does even reporting work?

can there be a pic showing how mods see the reports exactly?

 

[DragonFreak]

I think the PM gets sent to their emails, but I could be wrong.

it's kinda like forwarding an email, they can't see it until it's forwarded

i think it's like a special thing in the top bar that they can visit to see reports

You said that was when Mufasa was killed in The Lion King earlier!

They see reports in a thing on the top named "Moderate".
