Wait, hold up a second, are you saying that you (admins) can/do read our private messages?
I need some clarification on this please. Not much private about that. So I’m wondering.
Like it is a situation where you guys have certain words flagged and they pop up on your radar? im all for keeping the bad shit from happening, but im also for privacy. So im just wondering what the criteria is for an Admin checking my pms?
if you want true privacy a private website that you dont own where you signed every bit of content over when you joined here isnt where you wanna be.
We own everything you write or put on here. Users agree to that when they join. In short and blunt there is no true privacy in a website you have no ownership in. Admins can see everything if they so chose to. We literally own the website and ALL content.
There are times when checking someones personal messages happens but its rare, and only the
admins do it not mods. We dont go reading for shits and giggles if thats what youre thinking
typical reasons we see your pm's also happen when someone reports a message they sent or received, typically this is from harassment from another member, selling, trading posting their address and wanting it removed etc
selling trading gifting seeds etc.
We dont sit here and read your pms, just like we cannot read every single post on this website but we often get alerted to violations of tos via pms, like we do the entire forum.
I can however assure you those with access, are the ones who have access to the entire rest of your account, so we know your ip your email etc everything youve done to sign up here, your birthdate if you inputting it , your name if you did as well everything, and those people are trustworthy as we have been the sole operating admins of the site since launch.
