    no they can't :)

    I am really pleased you answered that Glad. :T

    I know someone somewhere will be able to read them in case of serious offences ect

    Where it is just banter PMs should be exactly that ;)

    Thank You

    TickTwo, I mean this in a kindly manner...
    You have been very upset recently and that's not good for you, (Or anyone else.) You've asked if you can go, and again, I'm not TELLING you to, but as you've been happily comping elsewhere and are getting increasingly upset on here, it may be best for now.

    So what do we think about the whole AIBU thing?

    Should we adopt it or not?

    If the police are investigating somebody they take away the computer and most other electrical devices (phones not electric shavers that would be silly).

    Anyway to answer my own question it's hypocritical but not life threatening so I will get over it.

    What are those?

    security cameras.

    As for BG's reading PM's. Yes, it can be done but depends on the admin interface.
    If Glad says they can't on here then we've no reason not to believe her.
    Many moons ago I used to be an admin on my football teams fans forum and we used to scan the PM's for spam, racism and religious bigotry. Members weren't aware and we'd never have told them for fear of mass revolt.

    Thank You Lovely,

    I know you have a huge heart & mean nothing but the best I have seen that in the way you answer people on here & take time to talk to them & not about or at them.

    I bet there would have been. I shall assume Glad isn't just trying to quell the paranoia and believe her though.

    What did you do if you found any?

    Just had to Google AIBU.
    It was that that it awakened my curiosity and I've read through the whole thread without being any wiser...
    You lot are a great disappointment!

    In case anyone's done the same - Am I Being Unreasonable?
