well there could be some things being sent back and forth (maybe something for someone) that we don't want him to see....couldn't that be a problem???

This is actually what inspired my question. I have a feeling there will be no suprises for someone...

My guess is that since Admin owns YT then by all means would have access to any part of it.

I have always assumed that Admins can read PMs on any public forum. I really think its a safeguard nowadays since you hear stories about people getting harrassed, etc.. not necessarily on YT, but on forums in general.

Now that we know this... we could really get them by planting some stuff in our PMs for him! THat would be hilarious!!!

All private messages are stored on the YorkieTalk server. There is a way to access it if need be, but we would only access a member's private messages if there is an immediate and direct threat to YorkieTalk or if we were required by law to do so.

Everything that you write as a post or private message on YorkieTalk is saved. If you want to correspond with another member without the possibility of anyone from YorkieTalk seeing it, use email or instant message or a telephone.
