It matters not if you're actually sharing personal information. It might be an extremely rare occurrence that someone does something like that. But it doesn't change the fact that the idea of a private message is to be private.

Whether someone is saying "Oh, this is where I live: _____" or "LOL U JUST GOT OWNED!" the message should be private unless the sender or the receiver shares it or gives permission to read it. The issue of the message actually being a private matter has no merit in the argument what-so-ever.

Also, like suggested above, reading PMs is hardly giving you an advantage in fighting cheating or rule breaking. 90% of the time a cheater wont even use the pm system to explicitly say they are cheating. And the other 10% that do are also stupid enough to be able to be caught regardless of if they confessed in a PM.

How is it "sad" that someone doesn't want to join a server were their PMs can be readily available for people to read?
It's "sad" if someone wants a private message to be private?
It's "sad" that people don't want to join a server that doesn't meet the requirements they are looking for? So... it's "sad" if I don't join a server simply because they run a lot of crazy modifications like portable obelisks, unit swaps and price mods?

This has to be the most ridiculous debate.
