I'd like to stress that in any circumstance chat logging should only be done when reasonable suspicion deems it necessary to do so.

What are you talking about? Trainer users don't show off in populated areas unless they are planning on getting banned. usually trainer users come on at 3-4am when little to no staff are on and then use the trainer. While i feel chat logging is an invasion of privacy, i could really care less When i type something into the text box of graal and type enter, i am planning on someone reading it. Besides staff don't care who you're dating, or how you got drunk last night and did some things when your friends. Staff don't just read all the logged chat for personal pleasure... They look for a specific spot and look for information relevant to an issue.
Anyways, while i think mass message logging would be a good tool to have, i don't feel its a life or death thing. GP's have been without it and have done fine. Another reason i don't feel it's necessary is because it's not like it will report illegal messages. You're still going to have to wait for a player to report it. So i don't really see why it's needed. However, I am one who enjoys another way to solve problems, and if it was around, im sure i could easily find a way to use it to capture players breaking the rules.
