So, you're essentially saying that if someone gets shot in the street, why not just put the person in the hospital and forget about the shooter?

I have yet to see a good reason why, you have plenty of privacy in e-mails, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc. You could easily say "well, let's take it into AIM" before the conversation becomes too personal.

They can always use the ignore list, and if that fails, they can send in screenshots of PMs, etc. I wouldn't be opposed to a log saying when PMs where sent (and who the recipient was) so you could see if the players are actually talking. Also, as someone else said, a way to validate PMs would be great (e.g. some kind of hash).

I thought you of anyone would know how easily screenshots can be altered, but just in case you didn't, let me demonstrate.



Keep in mind, now, that I have no photoshop on this computer and just using Microsoft Paint right now.

Well, for one, globals shouldn't be doing that, and I doubt they would without a reason, we all do have lives and don't spend our time sitting around thinking of how we can invade your privacy. In the event that something like that did occur, you should have taken private matters into MSN/AIM to begin with. I definitely agree, it would be scary to give many people access to such content (PMs) but I also think it's necessary to give someone access to such things.
