I agree with Caveman on this one. I have nothing against people's PM's being logged for the server, aslong they KNOW they're being logged.

Everybody seems to be forgetting one small little detail. This is the internet, it is not private. You should know this.

You might not have anything to hide, but others have conversations they'd rather other people not read.

Is it so wrong to ask that your private messages be kept private?


Sure you can ask, if the server owner doesn't want to then he doesn't have to.

You can always play elsewhere.

That's perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with that.

Except the server doesn't tell you that it's logging private messages.

Which makes no sense in my eyes. Why someone would spy on personal messages is beyond me.

If the purpose is to curb hackers, and cheats, which is all I can see this being useful for, they will simply get wise to this, and use other channels for communication with each other like TeamSpeak, MSN Messenger, etc.

One thing is sure: if you announce that you log PM's, then the utility is gone.

to anyone else, you don't like it, don't use the fucking plugin, it's simple as that

You join someones server, you have no rights and they have every right to do what ever they wish to do.

I would put good money on it that if someone here was being constantly abused in PM and no action was taking by the people in power that they would be upset/pissed off

Right I couldn't agree with you more it would be really handy for the people that get abused via pm. Thats all well and good but would it hurt so much to let people know when they join that all PMs get logged and read. Its not like i'm asking for much.

We've caught people admitting to cheating in PM. So yes, telling everyone that your PMs are being logged does hurt.

Well if they're that hard to detect and prove what makes you think they're going to be stupid enough to announce that they're using it via PM. If they're smart enough not to be blatant with it then surely they're smart enough not keep there mouth shut

nite-serv log private message im sure.

I remember once playing on there some guy spectate killed me right in front of of shinigami who is an admin there i believe.

He refused to do anything about it because I called him a faggot in my PM! to another player.

Oh and I think he banned me from there too.

In all honesty, tell people your logging their PM's and im positive your server population will dwindle to only yourself.

I don't see why I'm even arguing here, I'm just a simple player like almost everyone else. I don't own a server and never will. So it's just as out of my hands as it is anyone elses. SO no matter how much you argue and get your point across to me, server owners wont change their minds.

Also, people dumb enough to use cheats are often dumb enough to admit it.

Don't take your private business to renegade, then.

I can think of quite a few times when I've told or been told a clan join password (when they actually worked) or a botname password on a renegade PM. It's not credit card details, but it's quite easily abusable. If people have always been under the impression that PMs are indeed private unless one of the two participants decides to show someone a SS of it, then it's probably wrong to change that without informing people.

andr3w's example of "such-and-such really was dumb enough to admit to cheating to me by PM" isn't relevant... he admitted it to you, you were the person he sent the PM to, you were always able to read his admission.

I can think of a few servers that actually log PMs.

I can think of two off the top of my head that can toggle between logging private messages for specific players if abuse is suspected.

The fact is that you *CAN* read them, doesn't mean they're being read all the time. Like I stated above, I made a console command to simply toggle whether a user's private messages are logged.

Console: "logpm <player id>"

Another server, who has a custom bot built into the FDS, has a command to watch a player's PMs if abuse is suspected...

Also, like RoShamBo said, it's up to the server owner to decide whether that server logs private messages. Arguing here does nothing.

You want people to not read your private messages? Either:
A) Don't send any private messages
B) Don't play on servers that do log PM's; or:
C) Go to each server's forums and argue there about it.


Also, I rarely send private messages over Renegade..

I completely agree with this, and have argued against any invasion of that privacy time and time again, and yet server owners still insist on doing it. I have given up arguing about it these days, and now simply use Xfire to communicate with other people in the same server, since they have not come up with a way to spy on that yet. Not that I have played Renegade in a while now mind you....

And this is why this intrusion into people's PM's is simply not worth it.

The only sensible reason for reading PM's is to see if anyone is hacking, or causing mischief. But hackers, and mischief makers will likely use Xfire or MSN Messenger, etc to communicate if they're smart enough.

Of course, that essentially leaves PM monitoring to be only good for spying in on people's conversations, and seeing if they're bad-moutining moderators, or other players. That's just plain petty.
