Bit of advice
Be aware that it is possible for Mods/Admin to read your PM's.
So please DO NOT discuss anything sensitive within PM's

Say it isn't so. If so, that surely is flouting our human rights, the same rights the mods are here to protect!!

If they are reading PM's, which by there very nature are not for public consumption then I think they are bang out of order.

Correct, but VBulletin has add-ons, one of which is a 'read PM's' add on.
I am not saying that SNET has it, but if any forum uses VBulletin, it is possible .... I know, I own a forum using VBulletin and it is available

there was a bit of a to-do at the Hull Scoobs site a few years ago with the mods reading PM's and having a sort of "forum within a forum for a select few".....allegedly.
Ended in tears...

Something has happened on here before (before IB bought out SNET), where spmething had been discussed via PM only), and certain things had got out
That said, that was before IB, and I have always been careful using PM's since.

The credibility of ANY mod and the credibility of SNET would have to be brought into question if this is found to be true.
Mod's, I so hope you have not been naughty boys and girls and if you have been I hope you get found out and exposed for what you are.

Andy,
I have said, I DO NOT say it has happened since IB took over, but something did beforehand .... It may still be in the AdminCP, and if so, I'd suggest it is removed if it is.
