i was thinking if it was possible to add the ability for mods (or just admin even) to beable to read users pms? since we can see there topic-subscriptions i know that there PRIVATE messages but we need to beable to moderate them too i was thinking of moddin the forum my self to do this, but i thought it'd be a nice feature for V8, but i dont want to add the the deadline so V8.1 would be fine wot do others think? ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

Change the name then from Private Messages to Personal Messages. I would be highly annoyed to find out that something represented as private - wasn't. In the US at least, I'd be careful about having the ability to monitor PM's. Starts opening you up to liability for the content of the PM's. If you miss a couple of PM's where your members are discussing kiddie-porn, you could find yourself shut down because you had the ability to prevent it, but didn't. Why do you feel that you need to moderate them? -------------

someone here probably has a better idea, but there's a forum setting for spam that limits the time between each post, and the total number of posts in a given time period. Perhaps that could be extended to cover PM's as well? -------------

Times ago some users used PM to spam pub or simply sites to a users of a forum where I was part of the administration.
I think it could be usefult to prefent this kind of behave. It's also true that if someone has some problems could notify it to the admin that can check PM directly in the Db. Anyway a simple feature to show PMs in admin section may be useful to someone.

I also agree. A user should have the ability to view Private Messages sent between users. The Kiddie Porn Example certainly shows why Private Messages should be monitored. And this way we could warn users about the messages they send. If the Administrator or Moderators have the ablity to read PM's then it should also be Displayed on the Private Messages page. "Messages that you send to other users may be monitored for security purposes!" Borg what do you think? Would you be able to implement an Administration of Private Messages for v8? |

| Personally I would just go for a 'Let moderators and administrators read this message' checkbox, that way private messages stay PRIVATE but offencive etc. messages can be reported and moderated. |

I know if you have an access database they are there to be read (download a copy, then read the database otherwise unusable by board). Would like this feature also but would edit registering t&c's to say so. -------------
