I don't think we know what Barb did or didn't do. Did you ask her? She has posted her email multiple times since her PMs don't work. If it were me and I were a moderator, I probably would have deleted it too. It's a good thing I'm not a moderator anywhere, I am impulsive and a **** and that's just not a good combo
Anyway to put the issue to bed, I asked the administrator of another forum I visit that uses the same software. There is no evil Matrix dashboard where a mod can sit and view personal PMs streaming live. There are hacks that allow it, but I doubt any of the mods here have the skills or desire to use them. I doubt Tazz has uploaded a PM crack to this site, and it would have had to be Tazz because if Barb can't for example approve new members (which it is clear that she can't), then she certainly doesn't have the permissions necessary to upload a PM crack herself. There is nothing inherent in the software that allows it, it is only available via a crack.
I am surprised none of the other moderators here haven't said something to let everyone know reading of personal PMs by mods isn't possible, since they know it's not possible. That would have averted some serious problems yesterday. :shesaid:
Anyway, PMing someone about 4000 bottles of pop then having probably the most active person on the site find out about it 10 minutes later is a total non-event. That's actually a painfully slow game of telephone by CW standards.
Nothing that went on here the past few days was pretty, on either side. And that's an understatement. It would be a shame to lose such a valuable contributing member. Without contributing members, this place is pointless.and again :shesaid:
