Your story sounds fishy....
EDIT: I should add mods can not see PM's either.
Administrators certainly can.
Are you saying that because you know with 100% certainty or are you making an assumption?

I don't know about dogie, but I'm 100% certain.
Yea pretty much what I thought
So really unless the admin has DB access they cant read the PM's. Although it isn't clear if an admin doesnt have DB access if they can look at encrypted ones.
Meh, so admins only at the most have access to PM's. At the least only those with DB access (which is what I mentioned earlier in the thread, only one person that I know of defiantly can access PM's, and thats Theymos).
