If someone is breaking the forum rules, it does not matter how many people see it. If I continually sent you disturbing pictures of me touching myself, would you say that I shouldn't be banned because only you saw what I was doing?
You know, that this is wrong question?
Why don't just tell to **** off ppl who are begging for serials via PM? They're violating rights because they wanna get the game for free? Since when wishing anything is infringement? When someone offers crack or that kind of **** to anyone on forum or via PM - it's another story.
You couldn't. I'll put you to ignore list after your first PM=)Magorian Aximand said:

Actually, the man does have a point there.
However, if someone is violating rules via PM, I would suggest that the admins be able to see it. Therefore, I would suggest using email for anything really personal.

The word personal and the word private has two different meanings.
Ftw indeed.

Personal would mean addressed to you, private would mean addressed to you, for no one else to see.

Of course personal doesn't equal private on this forum, otherwise it would have been called private.Damon said:And does it matter for things we're discussing here? So you telling that personal message is not equal to private message on this forum? Kk, great, Big Brother ftw.Graylord said:
Damn typos.
If you want private, email them.
That does not mean such a person should not be banned. As he already has messaged you once in that manner, and nothing is stopping him from doing to others.Damon said:
Also, it is only visible to admins; if you report it. Which means you want them to see it.
Like people already explained, admins can only access PM's when one of the participants reports it, usually due to harassment or otherwise dubious content. We don't go around reading them for ****s and giggles, although if I could, I'd totally scour them for dirt on you all.

It has never been intended as private, that's just the way you apparently understood it.

Yes, he explains the difference.

So... what's this all about then?

Complaint that admins can see pm's when reported.

...Er, what?
Someone actually complained about that?
What, does someone think the admins are just going to ban someone without seeing what's going on? lol

This part Damon. Just because you can ignore it doesn't mean it shouldn't have happened.
As for asking for serial keys, it is expressly against the forum rules. Whether you think it matters or not doesn't matter at all. People need to follow the rules they agreed to when they made their account. Period.

Wait a moment now, I've read the discussion.DameGreyWulf said:
Yes of course you can ban people for things that happen on the forum. Just because it's a different section doesn't mean it's not part of the forum. It's still under their (the admins') roof, so it falls under their rules. It's no different than if you deliberately broke your Xbox, in your room, your parents would still punish you. It may be your room, but its not your house.
You report people for doing things against the rules, regardless of where it is. "Ignore," as pointed out, does not prevent the person from breaking rules elsewhere (ie: harassing others), nor does it punish them for harassing people as they should be punished.
Also, asking for serial keys is illegal, too, so the admins are not only enforcing the rules, they're enforcing the laws. Your parents would punish you if you did crack in your room, wouldn't they?
I have no time for discussing such things. I just wanted to find out how things works here, I've done it. I didn't mean to overpersuade somebody or anything else. And btw
Ah, no matter. You can proceed with your post-count increasing=)
Wishing to do crack in my room (and telling everybody about) and doing it actually isn't equal, eh?DameGreyWulf said:
