Read User's PMs?

Hi, i need to read some user's private messages. It's very important. How can i do it?

Yes, i know Bruce. Besides i banned the user who i want to read its PM.

I think this is called "Invasion of Privacy" and this is why Bruce has made this point so many times about Private Messages and the system it uses. A forum membership need to feel comfortable that their personal messages remain confidential (and I appreciate that your reply was aimed at the question asked) so I'm not having a go at you

It would be better if forum owners who perhaps have issues with members using the Private Messaging system think about perhaps not invoking it within the admin panel. If there were real problems on a forum, then it would be best to actually have some sort of disclaimer within the registration page perhaps saying something like -
"Whilst Private Messages are not monitored, the forum owners reserve the rights to investigate the messaging system if there is evidence of abuse by members using Private Messages"

But that would be up to the forum owners to decide this

This would not be a good idea.. Consider that WWF Can be accessed by anyone.. That anyone that is on your forums can come in here and look at anything that they would like to.. And what happens if they find this post out?  I would not think that would be best..
