Default Private Messages question

So I know that all we post on here is looked at and ,,modified if you will,,by moderators,,!, is our private messages moderated as well? Or are they private only to the two private messengers ,the reason im asking is because if you make some kind of swear word it gets starred,im thinking this must be an automatic set up to block foul language .Thank you.

Oh yeah, big brother is ALWAYS watching. There are key words that alert them if you type them in and an alert shows up on their computer. Swear words are merely censored but if you type in jihad, bomb, etc you’re gonna have the men in dark sunglasses show up at your door.......tout suite. I’ve already said too much......gotta go.

No I didn't say anything incriminating, but as I was texting I noticed the starred words and that made me think this is either automatically censored or patroled some how, so they are not private messages, just ones that cant be seen by every one ,and anything you cay can be used against you if needed . Thank you for your replies.

Love the conspiracy theory. I can tell you we never review pm’s unless someone reports the pm which is rare. Prefer people take things to pm’s vs open forum that is going to get them in trouble

So that if someone PMs something really nasty, they can be reported. My guess would be that mods can see reported messages.

They can only see the reported message which would be a message sent by you which was originally sent to you , much the same as reporting a post in the open forum
