There is no way for us to store the messages and let you have access to them without technically giving ourselves access, because to give you access we have to store the information somewhere, and this somewhere has to be in our control (or how would we set it up?). As I said above, the software we use does NOT have the easy (in AdminCP) ability to read PMs that InvisionFree does.Its an invasion of privacy.
Why would you get banned or suspended? As I said in a PM earlier, I’m strongly in favor of letting people know the truth and strongly opposed to most forms of censorship (with minor exceptions such as flaming (personal attacks) and so forth).And since ill probably getted banned or suspended for letting you guys know this it was nice knowing ya
you have the smae software as I do.

At AllAlias.com we choose by policy NOT to read personal messages, and I see no reason why we would change that policy unless some really odd thing happened (like the FBI asking us for information and us by law having to comply).
On your site, the owners of InvisionFree could technically read all of your member's personal messages.

Actually if you uncheck the save a copy box then there is no way for an admin to read it and if you know that is is somehow technically possibly to read it then you must have done it before.....Charlie said:Actually, even if you uncheck the “save a copy” box, the message is stored on AllAlias.com as long as the receiver of the message saves it, and so it would be technically possible for us to read it. However, we have never done so and have no intention to ever do so.
The situation is different for InvisionFree because you don’t have direct access to your database. The regular version of Invison Power Board (the one AllAlias.com uses) has no simple (in the AdminCP) way to read Personal Messages like InvisionFree has. Reading personal messages requires directly accessing the database, which is something that is very tedious (and again, something we have no plans to do).
This is true for everything. If you have a Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, Hotmail or any other mail account, the company you have it with can access the information because it is stored on their machine. On an InvisionFree site, the owners of InvisionFree can read all of your Personal Messages.
Also, the statement “already check without the members consent” is misleading because it implies that there is malicious intent. First of all, the check box is what is asking if you want the message stored for you. Furthermore, we don’t control that; it’s a default of the software. In fact, I’ve requested to the makers of the software that what is the default become a user option. Again, however, that would not impact our ability to read the messages (which, again, we have no intention to ever read).
There is no way to read PMs in the AdminCP of the regular Invision Power Board, which AllAlias.com uses, regardless of they are saved by the sender or not. I am aware of this issue because it has been thoroughly discussed on the Invision Power Company Forums (http://forums.invisionpower.com) and Invision Power has made a decision not to allow easy access to PMs. Apparently, InvisionFree came to a different decision and modified the version of the software for InvisionFree users.Actually if you uncheck the save a copy box then there is no way for an admin to read it and if you know that is is somehow technically possibly to read it then you must have done it before.....
