Moderators reading PMs is not much different to what I do in my job really, that is, preparing people's medical notes for when they come into hospital.

To be able to prepare them, I sometimes have to read portions of it. They don't know I'm invading their privacy, but I am, that's my job. There is very sensitive information in them, and I know for a fact if they were my case notes I would not want anyone reading them. So ok, I have all their information, including name, address, telephone numbers. What do I do with that info? Absolutely nothing. The very same applies to renegade, moderators don't care at all about what information you give out in PM, they certainly wouldn't act on it.

I don't see why someone, who is a complete stranger, knowing a small bit of insignificant information about you is "invading your privacy". If that moderator acted on that information, then I would understand. If it was me, I would swiftly switch to a new server.

Ok another example, ok lets say you have deep sexual desires and wish to purchase a tandem whip, handcuffs, lubricant and toys. You decide to go to an on-line store. When you purchase them. The person who deals with your order will know your name, number, address and whatever you're interested in. Would you care though? You will never see that person, they will not come to your house. The order will most likely be logged too, and maybe reviewed.

In both cases, you're not told your privacy is being "invaded".


With your example for your job. It is REQUIRED for you to read it, if however it wasn't required and you was nosing around peoples addresses and phones numbers then yeah I would be pissed that some person is getting my details without me knowing.

As to the moderator, you might be kind enough to disregard what you might read but others mods dont. How am I meant to know what server is logging my chat when we do not get told? That is the point.

If I was to order kinky sex toys from the net I KNOW my details are going to be logged, its quite obvious since they need it for my goods to be delivered. If they then leaked my details to some other company i'd be pissed. Server owners have no reason whatsoever to evade people privacy.




Cos if you did say something private enough to someone on the internet, you'd know if it got leaked.

Besides, when you tell anyone anything there is always a risk that it gets out.


I've learnt, since being at college, that there isn't really such a thing as a secret....that or all my mates really can't be trusted. Razz
