Had dinner a while ago, but put it in your fridge for me, I can grab it later.

Everyone is free to make their own opinions, initially and as things become more clear.

I know as a Admin here and a former mod at CS that I should have been monitoring this thread but, I've moved on and consider CA and CS different entities. CS has its future as does CA. Members from either boards throwing textual jabs at one another is both futile and to be honest a bit juvenile. Serves no purpose other than to keep this thread and ones like it across many boards alive. I haven't paid much attention to this sort of thing. Just thought I'd post this in hopes that we all can move on.

I couldn't possibly agree more. Poop happens, people choose different paths in life. They all have certain benefits and downsides.

Blaylock · 01-24-2009, 11:22 PM

Wasn't sure if I should post this but I will because it sort of puts things into perspective a bit. As many know, I am a Mod over there, and if you know me, I try hard not to be a combative person. In this new position, I have volunteered to make decisions, hopefully for the "good" of the membership. Some of them are not well received and I apologize if I have offended anyone.

Today I receive a personal threat, which I feel puts me and my whole family in jeopardy.

These are Cigar boards and we all signed up to discuss the things we enjoy doing and hopefully to build friendships along the way. When it becomes personal, its time to step back and take a look at what we're doing here.

I enjoy visiting several boards, because I like the comarodity and discussions that take place. I truly do hope that we can get back to that soon!

Sorry someone saw fit to threaten you in any way, Dave. That is completely unacceptable.

I don't know why my Puff PM box was restricted to 50 PMs, but it was tonight. No warning, no notation, nothing.

I've still got a 100 pm limit there for now.

Oh I think you know why!

I got nuthin!?!?

replicant_argent · 01-25-2009, 10:04 PM

So... let me postulate here..... If "someone" restricted my pm box suddenly when they thought another member might pm me, that PM would then bounce and be able to be read by that someone. This wouldn't then actually be "reading -anyones- " PMs, now would it? It would be very simple to temporarily restrict 10 or 20 users to see if you can catch some PMs in your Puffer fish net.

As far as how vBulletin is set up, the only way a moderator or admin can read your PM's is to switch user id's and log in as you. Yes the owner and admins can do this, but truly do you think they really have the time? The work involved in this changeover they are doing probably keeps them working 20 hour days...

Nope, Jon said that he is able to read the bounced ones, but it "rarely happens"

I don't think so, looks like a simple hack to me which the site owner/super administrator can easily add.

From the link (date Jan 2009):
This allows a super admin to read the private messages (all folders) from any registered member through the admin control panel.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=92815

And I don't think they would read all messages ... maybe just those from "esteemed" members. Whether or not PMs were noticed from bounceback or the hack is unclear. I know where I'd place my bet ....

01-25-2009, 10:49 PM

Well, I can tell you for a fact that my PM's were read and since what I was saying privately didn't agree with the new overlord, I had to be put in my place.

For more information regarding how I was "dealt" with I reffer you to my sig.

Cheers,
Rob

Wouldn't it be healthy for us to just move on? I also miss Louie and it would be nice to go back to the old days but I really like it here.

Not critizing anyone posting as it is therapeutic to vent but it has been a couple months now that we saw this coming.

No Black Choppers were harmed in the postulation of this caffeine fueled delusion.
