So it does happen, thanks for clearing that up, nice to know!

:shock:

I don't really think anyone has the right to read PM's no matter what!

 

Let me clear it up some more for u Bennie! That only happens if admin is asked(by a member/members) to assist or intervene in a serious matter between two or more members! And it would only be as a last resort to make sure the issue does not effect Sealine negatively!

We do not have the time or the need to sit and read peoples PM's like inquisitive old ladies reading each others post!

I SAY AGAIN! THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY! WE RESPECT OUR MEMBERS TOO MUCH TO BE CHILDISH!

another example of why i asked this question about pms and dont think it is a laughing matter...the last time i posted a picture of my kickboat on the public froum...within days it had been copied almost exacltly the same to a point that people where phoning me to ask me about it...because it was advertised at twice the price...so now we send pms with details regarding the kickboats...so i was curious to know how private these messages are.

 

Sealine's policy is no commercial advertising through general forum threads - Sealine is a free forum that genterates it's income from advertising to keep the forum going.

Normally any commercial advertising of products and websites are deleted from the threads and the poster concerned is sent a PM - so if you want advertising space on Sealine - pay for it.

I think it is highly unlikely that this posted would have been copied and the price doubled - what does Sealine have to gain out of this.

Please pm me the links to these threads as I suspect that there is some stirring going on here...... (I believe Fishton has indicated this is happening on other forums with the same individuals.)

yip you are 100% it did start off as a simple question...with the answer yes or no...the question was answered by OFC...but it then got personal and thats when the stirring started...thats why this will be my last reply to this thread.

as stated before it was merely to make people aware that PMs can be read on some websites...what the website admin does with the information is not my concern nor who reads it.

i apologies for making my personal vendette public and stirring the pot...these websites are to discuss fishing not personal issues between members...they should be sorted out outside the forums.

i am sure most people visit the websites...as a time out like i do...to get away from the stress of life itself...the last thing you want to read is conflict between members.

unfortunately this thread is an extremely serious thread...i am not a lawyer and have not read the terms and conditions of the registration to any website yet... but i am sure there must be some clause which protects your privacy and dont feel this is being childish...i glad to hear admin feels the same...especially if you are a company sending PMs or a member sending...stuff like product prices...your banking details....credit cards details...in other words private and confidential information...i believe you have a right to know if someone has been allocated permission to read PMs...as stated in a previous post only one person has permission on this website.

if you are only sending your mate a PM to tell him about your fishing weekend or nude pics of your girlfriend...then it would be childish for admin to read peoples PMs.

the objective of this thread was merly to point out that if you are sending private and confidential information then you need to make sure you are aware if anyone is reading your PMs

i am active of lots of websites worldwide and i know for a fact that there are websites which red flag  PMs which are read for whatever reason they choose...be it security reasons or any other...it is not my concern.

In my humble opinion everybody should know by now that the internet is not a place where you want to throw around you credit card, banking details or product pricing details to anyone even though they are your mates and you know them for 60 years already. There is millions of hackers in the world that makes it their life mission to hack into sites and obtain as much personal information and that is how identity theft takes place.

Does not matter how admin or the website administrator tries to make the site safe and sceure for all of us there will always be someone trying to bypass the system.

For all you know it might even be someone reading you pm's which is not even on sealine, this has happened all over the world so dont tell me that it cant happen. Remember that man designed the security features we are using so who better than to bypass the systems than those who have designed them.

If you want to exchange confidential information rather meet in person and then discuss it, it is still the safest option. 

Just my 2c

O ja, and IF you are sending pics of your naked girlfriend to your mates you clearly have no respect for her...just something to think about
