Very nice work but i agree with the last poster.

Private Messages should be -well- private...
No one else, not even the host should be able to read them.

What if a moderator is being "abused" in private chat by an unhappy player? It's a lot easier, imo, to deal with this if the PM's are logged...

I have my client set to log chats. Take SS of PMs you want to show others.

That's how I do it.

Moderators problem, s/he should be smart enough to turn on logging client side. I wouldn't want my PMs read.

So it's such important and private information that you absolutely have to send it as a message ingame as opposed to going on msn or something?

but you shouldn't be having a social conversation on a game, I would call that team hampering tbh. Not only that, admins and moderators are trustworthy enough to keep stuff private.

If its team hampering you might as well turn off any chat that isn't related to the game. So unless its F3 and its rush AGT or defend WF w/e it should be blocked. If server admins are so trustful you wouldn't mind joining my IRC server and for me to read your PMs?

Its a PRIVATE message.. Its private... Pretty logical, wouldn't you say?

You are bound by the server's rules the moment you join it. If the owner and his mods want to read your private messages, he will do so. With or without your consent. It's not up to you to say if you want to "allow" him to.

I'm not talking about this particular project, either. It is quite easy to hook private messages. It's even in my Hooks.dll.

Well then that servers clearly needs to tell you upon joining that your messages can/will be logged and read.

This I agree with. It's quite possible to get derailed into a social conversation, or even pass sensitve information, in an ingame PM to another player.

I wouldn't be happy with my PMs being logged by the server.

By the people I send it to? Sure...

Nope. Not if they don't want to. They don't need to "ask" or "tell" you that they're logging your IP address or serial hash, and nor do they need to tell you that they are logging your private messages.

I would have to say though that my IP/Serial hash is less important to me then what I might be telling others in PM's....

Doesn't feel right to me. I know that some other servers also read PM's. I could name one right now but it might be better for the sake of this convo not to.

Now, back on topic. the plugin definitly looks useful to me.

Having the server log your serial hash and your IP address is not of any importance. What can you do with my hash and ip thats gonna worry me? I'd quite happily tell anyone my IP address and hash. However having it log potential sensitive info without me knowing is something entirely different. If I know the server is gonna read my PMs i'll make sure not to say something that I dont want anyone knowing. Its pretty logical, no? Have some common courtesy.

I've made a console command to toggle the logging of PM's on a specified player. I might consider releasing this plugin, but I'll have to talk to who I'm making this for before I do... I still have a few crash bugs to work out. Mad

You're using their server for free with them having to pay a bunch for it.



You don't have the rights you might think you have.

So with that logic you would agree that its ok for Microsoft to read our MSN conversations, the server owner on IRC to read your
PMs, for parents to listen in on theres childs phone call.. etc... Just before you dont pay for it.

If any of the above said that it would be logged/read you can bet your ass that I wouldn't use that service. I for one like my privacy.

From a Server Owner perspective, I don't see the need to look at people's PM's except for general curiosity.

I don't think there's someone out there that's honestly going to tell people "lmao *cheat* is so fucking win". Then still, you could never know the level of retardness nowadays in ren.

I wouldn't want to play on a server that logs my PM's, and I am sure that other people would agree with me on this.

Sure, if microsoft wanted to listen in on my MSN conversations they can knock themselves out. I have nothing to hide. Same for IRC conversations. It only takes more resources on their side, and if they were doing it then I know it's only with good intentions. This is the same for renegade, if someone is getting harassed in PM then not only can we prove it but we can ban on the spot without the player having to report it.

About the phone, if was even possible. If I wanted to talk to someone and keep it private from my parents, I would use either: another service, or another form of communication. As I said before, I generally have nothing to hide so I probably wouldn't care.

Again, I repeat. You have no control what-so-ever over someone else's server. If you don't like it, go play somewhere else.

Having something to hide doesn't have anything to do with it. Its a PRIVATE message, what gives you/microsoft/anyone the right to read my conversations? If such services are going to be used I want to know that its going to happen. So then I can play at another server, thats the point how am I meant to know what server logs and what doesnt when you're secretly reading my PMs?
