I vehemently take exception to your statement. The mods CANNOT read your pm messages, unless they log in as you. Since they cannot change your password, they do not have access to that.

Regarding personal emails, if one uses the Contact Us link, that goes to Grumpy. BUT, if someone replies to a notification email, the one that says, DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!, instead of emailing the individual they wished to contact, that gets sent back to Grumpy. It happens more often in vB that one might reasonably think, and it is a PITA, especially on a site larger than this.

So, to make a long story short, (I know. TOO LATE!) your pm's are as private as personal emails, and, if you are careless about replying to notification emails, then the pm's are more secure.

I use pm's.

And, since this thread is a comment on the site moderation policy, it is being closed.

JBS, start another thread on this topic, and you will find that there are consequences to your action.
