Since when have Mods been able to access our personal info???

[LostinVA]

I've always been told they couldn't -- that it was Admins only.

I see, as per the Mod thread just posted, that that's not true. This makes me REALLY upset.

I don't acre if this is locked, but I would like an answer, please.

1. Hey, slick

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user&saz=change_profile

of course, the first name could be derived from payment info.

[LostinVA]

4. There was more infon tahn that shown -- email, for instance

[Pierre.Suave]

6. Interesting link

How did you get into my profile?

[DS1]

8. Uh yeah

It's everyone's profile info.

[Shakespeare]

11. We're all seeing our own profile, silly.

[DS1]

13. *snicker*

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

Oh

well that makes sense I guess.

I just changed my password for nothing then...

:rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

17. We all have access to your profile.

Sometimes we change it. Tomorrow you'll be a Haitian immigrant with dreams of joining the circus.

[Pierre.Suave]

23. LOL

If I am, now I know who to talk to about it...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I have no idea, but I suggest you PM or email Skinner...

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. If you read the agreement they sign...

I believe it does state that they have access.

5. Which mod thread?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. The one that now shows up as locked

[sniffa]

18. I'm not seeing it

If they finally installed the "sort by lock" feature I've been advocating for since the death of ATA, this wouldn't be so hard.

I suppose I could log out too.

[LostinVA]

12. A mod threadw as psoted in the Lounge

We saved it.

It posted the poster's name and email imfo.

It worries me. What happens if Midlo becomes a mod again???

[Haole Girl]

7. I know they read alerts

When someone said only an Admin reads alerts.

[DS1]

14. You mean PMs?

[Haole Girl]

19. All alerts. (nt)

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. However said that only Admins read alert was either ignorant or lying.

Why do you think they have moderators. Do you have any idea how many alerts come in? It's WAY too much for 3 people to handle.

[Haole Girl]

20. I'm sure

It's just weird that they said only Admins read them, when everyone reads them in the end.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Only Admins read the alerts on PMs. Mods read "normal" alerts

on threads.

[Haole Girl]

25. I hope you're right Peggy.

Thanks. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. This was the case when I was a mod...

No worries, sweetie...:hug:

[Pale Blue Dot]

9. When and by whom were you told that? nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. I've been told that by former mods

That they only had access to the public info on profiles.

Admins had access to emails, IP addresses, etc, but not mods.

[flvegan]

21. What Mod thread?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. You won't see it now...

It was deleted.

[AlCzervik]

26. you missed it by that much.

[flvegan]

28. What did it say exactly?

[AlCzervik]

29. it was a mod thread about moving a thread from gd. It was like seeing how sausage is made.

[LostinVA]

30. Not much, but this might interest you:

It had the poster's real name and email address posted. ie the Mods have access to that info.

[flvegan]

31. Interesting. Full name?

I thought they had just the first name.

[LostinVA]

32. I need to check -- we saved it

However, many people's email is their name.

[flvegan]

33. That's why I use a throw away one.
