Rob, I can categorically guarantee you any PM's which are sent are private. There is an add-on which can be installed as part of vBulletin, which does allow Administrators to view Private Messages. However, this HAS NOT BEEN installed on this discussion board.
I know exactly what has given rise to this question from you. The other "user" you refer to is an employee of a FORMER sponsoring dealer. This user has been breaking forum rules by continuing to use this web site for commercial purposes, by using the PM and email facility built in.
As such, this user has had their PM and email privileges withdrawn.
No other user is affected by this action.

I should add that this was seen as the fairest way of dealing with the problem, without going to a full ban of this users access to the site. But this user has been warned that any further breaches of the "no non-sponsoring commercial use" rule, will result in a ban.

Because I asked him and he said so. Which is to his credit, but doesn't change the fact it is a breach of rules.
Also, any member can see what other members are doing when logged on using this page on the site.
I've sat at my PC, watched the user in question view the dealer questions forum, view members questions in that forum, then PM that member that asked the question.
I realise the member in question has been very helpful in the past, and this action is nothing personal but a breach of the rules is a breach of the rules.
But, this is Alan's site, I'm only doing as I'm asked, so any further comments / input need to come from Alan.

Rob, in all fairness to this particular thread.... I need to point out an inconsistency with the title and poll question.....
Thread title is: ARE your Private messages private?
Poll question is: SHOULD your private messages be private?
People's opinion on the two questions could be very different and I'm not sure which one you want to use.
I'm happy to change the title of the question for you, or the title of the poll for you, but I need to know which one is the one you want left. Let me know.
