Can I restrict certain members from being able to use Private Messages if they are using them to send abbusive messages?

Is there anyway Admin can view PM's sent between members?

Thanks

Private message are meant to be private. No way for you to read them anyways. You'd have to be logged into there account.

But to disable PM's for certain members have a look at this code. support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=codedatabase&action=display&n=1&thread=70302

If there sending abusive messages i'd think about deleting them.

That wouldn't be fair though. First I'd send a PM to the member who may be abusing the PM's to see what's going on. 2nd time it's a warning and loss of PM privilege with the code i linked to. Most of the time a member will change there ways once they have a warning or loose a certain privilege at the forum.
