What do you mean by inviting others to check you PM? How could other people check you message box, I wonder?

polar bear

@green5 someone said i was being creepy in pm and stuff and i was just saying that if anyone wants to check my pm then thats fine bc i have nothing to hide,

a long time ago i was being an idiot and PMing people a lot of rubbish so i just wanted people to know that that will never happen again, all my private messages are positive and stuff, this time i was a bit paranoid (and still am) of someone using multiple accounts on here so i pm’d the person and it was ok, or so i thought anyway.

so if any of the mods want to

All information on a discussion system like this is stored in a back end database. An administrator with sufficient privileges can examine any part of that database. I don’t know if my account has those privileges. I haven’t looked and don’t plan to. Not my circus, not my monkeys. My advice to anyone and everyone is to remember that nothing on the Net is truly private. The best you can hope for is limited discretion. With that in mind, govern your actions accordingly.

This sounds interesting or lovely. Sometimes I like to chat with people in PM, especially when I am in a bad mood.

That’s an elephant seal that I visit in my secret spot…I picture him going…“Wasssssuuuuppp”. I try to take care of the pups in the winter, but I only managed to help 1 last year…better than none.

I hang out w/elephant seals…I know they want to kill me so it’s the same as being in a supermarket.

Other members do not have access to your private messages. That’s why they are called private :slight_smile:

Here is a relevant discussion at the Discourse community:

The new defaults in the software are that ordinary moderators can’t look at PMs. Or at least I assume I can’t – I haven’t checked to see if I can. The board Super User, or Admin, can see PMs. Even if he couldn’t, he probably has database access and can run a query against it if needed outside of the Discourse software.
