Question regarding access permissions on this site

Good day,

I have a few questions regarding access permissions.

1. Do admins have permissions to eavesdrop on private user messages? Are there special circumstances involved?

2. What functionality and access remains to users that have been ingame banned? Are there varying differences? Are they able to send and receive private messages?


Please do answer truthfully, it would be most appreciated! ?

With warm regards

When I was admin, we couldn't eavesdrop on private user messages. As far as I know, nothing happens to people's posting/PM abilities after being ingame banned unless a forum mod or admin makes it that way.

Same.

I thiiiiink phpBB has a mod that allows admins to eavesdrop on PMs, but to the best of my knowledge, it is not and has not ever been installed here.

To the best of my knowledge, forum PMs are private and will always be that way. If that changes, or if I find out that’s not the case, I’ll quit. It would be a complete breach of trust and privacy for anyone to be reading anyone else’s forum PMs.

1. Reported PMs are shown to global mods and admins while reviewing the report, this has been handy in a couple very rare harassment things and some botspam over PMs

2. Game bans and forum bans are not linked so no, nothing happens

Also worth noting that PMs are kept forever and anything you send can be posted by the other party without your express permission. For example here is a baby Armhulen in his natural habitat: Image

I read all of your private messages and at this point I feel like I should call the fbi but im just not sure if what you're doing is technically a crime.
