What?

Are you saying you don't think Pam is correct in saying that she has never said that? I know it saves a few bytes of space on the HD to not quote the person you are talking to, but it really makes it hard to follow.

The person who pam was replying to decided to delete his own post after pam had already replied to it, so it's a little hard to understand what she was replying to.
The question was about PMs. Yes, they can be accessed via the database when absolutely necessary, but on a regular basis does anyone do this? No, we have neither the interest, inclination or time to do so. We keep a log of all such accesses, so I know this for a fact. John

BillPaxton, it is possible to access and read the PMs if you are an op or moderator. It really is not that hard though it does take a few minutes.
In vBulletin if a member isn't allowed to post their PMs can either be blocked or be filtered, just like their posts would be filtered or blocked. It really isn't that hard. vBulletin also has a filtering tool that gives the ops and mods the power to highlight or block certain words. It is common to use it for cuss words but sometimes ops and mods will use it to eliminate website references, insert characters in email addresses, or delete stuff they don't think proper. It says on the registration page that segwaychat uses the filter so maybe what was mentioned was automatic. |

I have a question. Down in the right hand corner it shows who is reading this post.
Right now there are 2 members and 1 guest but only one member name (mine) is showing. Is it only ops that can hide their loginid or can members do it also? |

Invisibility
You can do it. It's called 'Invisible Mode' in the Edit Options of the User CP.

I double-checked about 15 minutes later to make sure post was gone. It was. I went to bed. The next morning, I wake up, get online, come here... and not only is the full text of the original message there, it's gotten a response. Though I should not have been able to, as it was over 3 hours since the original posting, and that posting had received a response, the "Edit" button was available for that message. I deleted it all, again, and left a similar message that I, the poster, had thought better of making that post, that I had earlier completely deleted the text of that post, and that someone else had reposted that post. Right after that, I got a message from one of the moderators that, was, essentially: "Oh, did you want that deleted? I moved it to another topic heading..." Only when I replied in the affirmative did that moderator remove the posting. |

Thanks for letting us know, Eric, this should not have happened this way, and may be a glitch. For one thing, once a post is edited and removed by poster, that information should have been gone, as I understand it. Like backspacing over text - that text is history. As a mod, when I see something like that, I'll move the empty shell to the back, or delete it completely. I'm wondering if somehow, once you edited it, the edit didn't get saved - and the normal response on a thread that is about community issues that might be sitting in another forum would be to move it into the other forum.
Sounds like it got worked out, though. Pam Quote:
