Do you think reading user pms are good or bad?

I personally will never ever look into user pms. Period
 
Only if a user specifically asks me to take a look, I would never look at my users' PMs.
 
Id never look at PMs also. The only way i would was if a user forwarded them to me, to report them for breaking the board rules etc. id never install a pm viewer or something like that.
 
Yeah, if a pm is reported I do the same with reported posts 🙂
 
I dont look at peoples PM's, but I think it's okay if the forum itself is having spamming problems, illegal activity or just being really large and have to keep track of user behavior.

ah good points
 
Looking at user's PM's kind of defeats the point of 'Private Message'. I know it's an old cliché but it's true.

Fortunately phpBB 3.0.6 will let those users with permissions only look at those messages that have been reported, which will pretty much nail any forum with a PM reader.
 
I believe if there is a urgent problem with people PMing each other. Such as a fight I would want to find out what happened. I wouldn't just read the PMs just because I'm bored. xD
