    Admin slap

    Ouch!

    Sorry, I cannot read PMs and should not have suggested I could. Meant to fess up a bit quicker but got distracted by sprog

    I was told that obviously PMs are stored in the DB so they could be looked at if the server admin was so inclined but that they are too busy to be bothered with the lives of mere mortals. Go figure.

    I am now on my best behaviour and will not try and wind people up. Apologies if my bit of mid-week fun caused any panics, if of course there was anything to panic about...

        Ok who is worried? I don't really care who reads mine.
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Very often it is not the fear of punishment that prevents crime but fear of being caught.

          You're posting leaves it a little ambiguous as to whether you are physically capable of reading PMs but have been told not to, or whether they cannot be read at all.

          I find the latter impossible to believe (as would most other people on this particular forum).

          Perhaps leaving it as it is - you could read them if you needed to - is for the best.

            Sorry if ambiguous RC, let me be clear.

            I cannot read PMs - if I could I would I am a moderator and can move and edit posts / threads and ban users but that is about all.

            I made a joke to try and wind some members up (for that is the kind of ferret that I am) and I will admit to this being in poor taste.

            If I could read PMs or see the IP addresses of users I would tell you as I do not see what the problem with this would be...

            I have stated below that I was told the server admins can read PMs as it is just text in the DB. As you say, I am sure no-one here would believe that PMs are not viewable on way or another.
