Looking at it objectively, it's still a stupid idea. I don't care about privacy and all that self-righteous nonsense, but I do think it breeds bad karma for the server. While I understand the purpose of logging conversations, I also see it as a way out of fixing the real problems that exist for developers. I mean, why spend time fixing a bug that will continue to be abused in the future when you can just ban someone for it? Am I right?

I see logging as a way to compensate for the shortcomings of server administration. If things are so far out of your control that you have to start logging every word they say out of stupid suspicions, aren't you already in over your head?
