Are my private messages secure on here? Are they getting accessed by anyone else? :frown:
I don't believe anybody can access them except for admins?
Hi
Your messages are secure, so don't worry.
I can't read them easily. I have to get Alex to extract them from the database but we only do this in the event of something serious that has occurred and needs looking at.
So I don't need to fret that any messages I send or recieve are getting looked up just for the sheer heck of it like they do on some forums? :scared15:
We really don't have the time or inclination to look at PM's to be honest.
Is it true chat history is routinely read every day and mods can turn invisible in chat?
No completely not true. Chat logs are only ever read if there is a complaint about something that has happened in the chat room. I think that has happened about once in the last year.
To be completely honest I couldn't think of anything worse than sitting and reading chat logs every day... it is bad enough to look into about an hours worth of chat logs when we get a complaint..... to me it is one of the most boring and monotonous jobs of an Admin.
Chat mods and most Admins have no access to the chat logs. If we get a complaint then Nic will pull the chat logs off for the particular date/time and then we look at those and nothing else.
No Chat mods can't turn invisible in the chat room, we see exactly the same as what a normal member can apart from we have the ability to Kick, silence and ban members in the chat room..... this is something that again is very very rarely used.
