Then you shouldn't have all these problems alex has. THey really were bad back about a year and a half to two years ago when he started a policy of reasing PMs and the like using raw SQL, created a few major headaches!

actually, you don't know what you're talking about.

The reason the SQL got corrupted was due to the tables being stored in MyISAM which sucks when it gets hundreds of writes in a very short time span. I've switched to InnoDB. A lot of writes to MyISAM also caused the major slowdowns.

As for PMs, the only people who are allowed to read them are the sender and recipient (ie not me unless I wrote the PM or it was sent to me). The terms of service state this.

what about if we feel we need to report it, like if we get an abusive PM?
