New conspiracy theory!! P.M.'s are being moderated now??

I Sperg

Over Christmas, I got first moderated to death for posting a wholesome christmas message, then whilst trying to P.M. a forum member this little beauty pops up...

This is a little too orwellian for me to stomach. P.M.s are personal or private messages by their very definition, and should be mostly unavailable to third parties. 

Also we seem to have a culture of "Silent Accusers" generally developed in this country where people can make accusations against you and trigger "lawfare" without you ever being told who they are, or even the copy of the accusation that has been laid to "authority" made available to you.

There have been quite a few posts that illustrate this if you are aware of and see it as a problem.

Although I've grown quite "fond" of some of you, I've also previously adminstered one forum on the same platform as the alternative to this one and I knw that over there my personal mesages are only going to be read by the recipients and not some third party who might find them triggering or offensive and institute sanctions against me without my knowledge. As currently happens to me every single holiday when the mods are off now....

The internet is already NOT a safe place for people like me, I prefer a forum which doesn't metaphorically have "A wiretap on my phone".

Did you consent to having your PM's overseen routinely?

  • Public clarification from a senior member of NAS /NAS community needs to be made on this. I understand there's reduced capacity over the festive period and I hope that in the new year, not only do we get an acknowledgement but also a reply with explanation which confirms or alleviates our concerns.

    I will be honest, I don't hold out much hope.

    If any members receive a response from the community manger on email regarding this issue, that they would be willing to publicly share,  I'm sure all members would be grateful.  However, the fact this has been brought to public attention, needs a public response. 

    As members, we currently don't have all the facts. I'm feeling my "membership" of this place is increasingly becoming untenable.
