Admin access to pm's and email

[madron]

I know I can access these with a query in SQL, But is there a hack to access these from the admin panel inside the forum? 

I have searched here, and a few other places, but cannot find what I need.  Most hacks do not seem secure enough.

thanks

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with TinyPortal, and I personally believe it's an invasion of privacy to read other peoples private messages.

Hm, you know, I think the subject was brought up on SMF's forum some time back - someone had a MOD, but something happened along the way and it's no longer available.

I believe in privacy don't get me wrong...

But, on a different note: how do you deal with a member sending personal invitations to his own forum (to other members) via the PM system?

[Zetan]

Ban them.. if you're members are trusted, somebody should be reporting the PM. You can enable reporting of PMs and if you suspect a member trying to poach other members for his/her own site, then make a topic about it. Bring attention to it.

Unless there is abuse, I would never consider reading my members PMs and they know that because I made it clear.

You can read another Topic being discussed at The Admin Zone which I have been following.

I've considered the ban, but what gets me is that this is a long time member and contributes to the website on a regular basis.

Yeah Z,
that should be a no No to all Admin's

Delete Topic ?

I think it can be discussed.. PMs are part of SMF though.
And I know SMF do not endorse the reading of other members Private Messages.

Good way to lose members!

If you membership discovers (and they will) that you are snooping around in their personal messages many of them will simply stop coming around.
I know that I would do that and most of the comments that I've seen on this subject make me think that lots of other folks would do the same.

They are called PM's for a reason ya know!

But that's just MHO... take it for what it worth.
