Does anyone besides the confidential recipient have access to PM's?

Asked by rooeytoo (26981points) July 12th, 2010

I am just curious (mind you, not that I have anything to hide!), can the mods or the fluther gods read the pm’s that are exchanged on a confidential basis?

Only certain individuals (owners and manager) can read pm’s, and do so only to investigate complaints.

@syz – thanks, I was just wondering.

Ben, Andrew, Tim, Augustlan and I belive RichardHenry are the only ones who can read PMs if the need came up.

Then the next question is, who determines the “need?”

I’m not sure that I like anyone reading my mail.

Now that I think about it, what constitutes “need?”

[mod says] The “who” has been answered, so I’ll address the “why”. We will take a look to investigate reports of harassment/abuse and spam.

Hi Auggie, I am not sure I like the system, but hey I did benefit from it a while back when one of our higher scoring luminaries decided to attack me privately.

So I guess it is a necessary invasion of privacy.
