Do you suppose that the admins can see what we type, even if we decide not to post it?

That would be really weird.

I've been tempted to put the question in ATA, but I think they would be justified in lying about the answer.

"No, no... heck no... we can't see what you type until you actually hit the post button."

Well, I'm just not so sure.

Cause I non-post a lot, after reading how freaky some of my ideas really are.

And some might say I don't do that often enough.

What do you think?

Can they see our every keystroke?

Yikes!

1. Yes, of course.
Even the blank spaces. And they submit it to Wikileaks immediately. I was able to download your file from there, and, yes, yikes!

That post from August 3rd this year really got me. I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. And I think it was your fault and not the neighbors one. A fence might help, or a less offensive pajama. When is the court date due, if I might ask?

3. I'm glad you now can laugh about it, too.
But you must have felt really, really, really awkward then. Especially after I've seen the pictures involved ...

6. Well, I'm actually quite OK with that one pic.
It was shot with a wide angle lens, instead of a macro.

And I'm good with that.

5. The admins - no. Not until you send it.
The technology exists, however, to monitor what you type without sending. Which, essentially, is within the province of certain governmental agencies. Or, should certain software have been installed on your computer, suspicious spouses and significant others, along with other people / entities that might be interested enough in your comings and goings to be willing to expend the time, money, and effort to keep tabs on you.

7. Wait - so when I got that pop-up about the required keylogger installation,
that wasn't from DU? But if it was bad, I would have thought that my free antivirus from that other pop-up would have told me... :shrug:

8. I assume all my key strokes are logged somewhere.
