FWIW for full disclosure as a former mod i must say that mods and admins can see "invisible" members .
Am I alone in imagining everything is available to moderators? Members' PMs, 'like' comments, who has who and what on ignore etc.FWIW for full disclosure as a former mod i must say that mods and admins can see "invisible" members .
Neither Mods nor Admin have access to PMs or who is on ignore etc. The only exception to this is the site owner or if he gives specific permission to someone.
Didnt mean to stir up such a hornets nest.
Just found this thread while looking for something else, no ones touched it for a month!
So in principle, everything is available to moderators.
Just what we expect a closet vendor to say.
Added emphasis.Neither Mods nor Admin have access to PMs or who is on ignore etc. The only exception to this is the site owner or if he gives specific permission to someone.
This follows from your response above. The site owner has access to everything and can grant permission to anyone else to access everything/anything not normally accessible to them.So in principle, everything is available to moderators.
How does this not only not follow, but now mean quite the opposite?No the exact opposite.
Added emphasis.
.... I don't have a problem with any of this by the way as I am quite used to assuming someone is looking, listening and reading all my output. Comes with the territory, if you get my gist.
Anyone who knows Sharky will laugh their cotton socks off at the very idea of him reading members' PMs. It's hard enough to get him to read one you've sent him - so the idea of him peeping at other people's really is - as T333 rightly says - ludicrous!. . . The idea that the site owner may have the time or desire to monitor this himself is ludicrous . . .
