I think it is absolutely appalling that PMs are not private. There is NO justification for that abuse of privacy. If they're not private, then take the facility off the board. It's a complete misnoma and an absolute outrage for the MT to think they are entitled to look at them under the guise of 'moderation'. It does, however, explain an e-mail I had from Ian last week.
The MT is given it's powers by the members. This is an outright abuse of that power, in my opinion, and an insult to everyone who uses the board.
If an abusive PM is received by any club member, then fair enough, report it to the MT and ask them to look into it, but carte blanche to look at every member's PMs on that pretext??? This, as so many people have said already, is Big Brother stuff and pretty much the last straw for me as far as this board is concerned.
