Question PM box

What are the limits on our PM boxes? Number of messages or size?

70 messages, and I think there's a 2000 character limit on a single message.

No, we can't read PM's. I suppose that if a legal issue were to come up there would be a way, but we don't have a "button" that does it and we wouldn't do it anyway if we could, private is private.

Administrators can vew PMs. It is by no means illegal to view them because you are using a means of communication owned by us; because the data is actually stored on our servers it legally belongs to us. Usually we don't go digging around in PMs unless there is a legal issue, as started in our FAQ.

Also, that user seems to be quite the sarcastic and disrespectful little bugger. Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on things.

Let me clarify that....the only reason that would ever happen is to accomodate legal authorities. And that's never happened. So, we never browse PMs. Its that simple.
