Do moderators have the capability of sneeking in on what you THINK, is something private that your sending someone? I believe they do. 
Oh well....

I just thought everyone should have the right to know. A certain moderator(No, I'm not going to mention his name. 
) told me that they have COMPLETE access to ALL private messages on Club Lexus. Kind of a bummer, but, I fully understand why.

hey the admin has passwords to every single member on CL. The PW might be the same for you for alot of things. I don't think the forum moderators have the power to read PMs. Maybe only admins, not even S.Mods (just IMO) 
but hey if you're not planning on overthrowing ClubLexus by planning conspiracies with other members, why worry

My take on this has a little bit of an attitude!
First, this is a ClubLexus Forums, by all mean, the poeple who run it will have ALL the access rights to your accounts, pictures, PM's. Why? Because they can!
Second, You have something to say that you don't want to post it in the public forums, use PM. Use common sense, rememeber that thing? Common Sense it is! If you need privacy, use your own email account, the same one you send your **** to your lover, and receive tons of spam emails But asking for privacy on this forum is a joke!
Third, You will be nuts to believe that if anything is private and secretive on this day and age in a Society that is internet driven.
Question: What is ClubLexus' Privacy Policies??? If it has one!

Guys if there is a way to access private messages through vbulletin I certainly don't know about it. I've never read anyones private messages and when they're posted by members in threads during a dispute I try to lock them down. This is both as administrator and as super moderator.
Click Here for a link to ClubLexus' Privacy Policy. If you note it is also a link at the bottom of every page on CL. Privacy is very important to us.

. We're very open about our rules on ClubLexus and how we enforce them (selling items on our forum as a non-approved CL vendor, for example
) as I'm sure you are aware during your three months on our forum. We will remove access for members who are warned and repeatedly break the rules. If (hypothetically) a member who was warned about selling wheels as a non-approved vendor in our classifieds then tried to sell them via unsolicited PM and we were alerted by another member forwarding those PMs, the vendor would be banned from the forum.Regardless of why you're asking, it is a valid question that our members should have an answer to.

That's funny. I am aware that this is the internet and that nothing is sacred here. I'm just trying to confirm a valid question. I am in no way trying to start a big debate. Take care guys

No mod could have told you: "have COMPLETE access to ALL private messages on Club Lexus". I had the same feeling you did before I bacame a mod though.
