seems like the US hacker tore Lulz a new asshole

I figured you were part of the team

I would be extraordinarily surprised if lowly moderators have the ability to read PMs. That requires actually going into the database tables and even then you have to know what you're looking for.

what sucks about sherdog is the mods. They troll everyone then if you disagree with anything they ban you.

Actually, mostly what sucks about Sherdog is all the shitty posters. There's nothing inherently wrong with the site, it just happens to be the largest and most popular MMA forum.

Which makes an account there something of a necessary evil, I think. . .

zy, sherdog runs VBulletin just like this site, mods can read pm's without manually crawling the database it's built in. It just needs to be configured for moderators to have that privilege. In older versions it might be a separate plugin.

I agree but some of their mods need to be fired.

There is a hack that does it. I'd be really surprised if Sherdog moderators could. They have pretty much zero power. What makes you think they're reading your PMs?

[SPX]

Didn't he explain that already?

[flyinggogoplata]

well my sideloaded account got banned right after I pm'd someone a k-1 stream link. I know a mod at SBR which is also Vbulletin and she reads pm's like crazy.

zero power? they dubb, delete threads and ban people. So what is "zero" power?

Correlation does not equal causation.

I am an admin on a vB forum and there is no option to do so. Even with the hack you have to be a super admin to view PMs. Unless you can provide documentation how moderators can read PMs on a vbulletin forum then it is simply not so.

[flyinggogoplata]

I just did. A mod at SBR which is vbulliten reads pm's she publicly has said so and has banned people for what they said in pm's.

I read the PM's on here all the time when I'm bored at work

[SPX]

Me too.

I actually know of a homosexual relationship that's going on between forum members, but I'm not going to name names.

That is not so until you prove it to zY
