Just switched over to IS i got a couple questions...
....
3) All of my PM messages are written out and transferred over to this new software does Totem know what's in these?
humm... I ***** to be the one to burst everyones bubble...
but their is no Such thing as a Private Message on the internet..
Any Site that you are a member of, and use that's site Communication Tools...
Means you are putting your Messages On that Sites Servers.
Every Message has to go through some type of Server....
That Server most likely keeps that message in a Database.
So in that Sense... NO, you PM's are not Private...
Some IT person who manages the Server / Database probably can Access all of the messages.
E-mail is NOT Safe!
E-mail is sent as Plain Text through the internet. It HOPS from Computer to Computer till it finds the final Destination.
Along the way, anyone on that Hop list, can keep a copy if they want...
A hand written Letter, Sealed in an envelope, and Mailed, is More Private.
The real Question though... Are the PM's monitored?
I highly Doubt it...
Totem does not have the Staff, nor would they want to monitor PM's.. Not unless there was Cause to do so..
Break the Rules, Cause trouble... and Maybe it would mean they look at your Account History..
But NO one is Monitoring or looking at your PM's..
As alreay stated.. Moderators DO NOT have access to the PM's.
