PMS
 

Am I to understand that when I send PMs to people, they don't get solicited or examined by people such as R.? I hope not - because I've been having many personal confessions and discussions with some people.

True.
This messageboard software does not support this.
You may want to visit www.phpbb.com for more details.

However, as I have physical access to the database where all messages are stored,
I could read PMs by bypassing the forum software and retrieving records directly from the related database tables.

In English? I just want to know if you (or anyone else) have been intercepting my messages

In that case: No.
