Salty is wrong and FH is an idiot.
The mods/administration will not leak/disclose information about PMs to third parties without the consent of either the sender or receiver of the message. This is different from the sender or receiver deciding to disclose the contents of a message themselves.
Conversations are repeated every day and this is normal. Sending a PM is not unlike having a conversation with a friend in your house. Either party is able to repeat what us said as they wish and either party has the right to do so.
It appears that a lot of people have trouble telling the difference between the words personal and private.
Actually I may be wrong looking at past events.
Looking back actually it seems yes they should be kept private.
Huh.
I was saying that people see the word “personal” and for some reason think it says “private”
Here is a crazy idea as to how to avoid having PMs that make you look badly published.
Don’t say anything that would reflect poorly on you.
