What can Mods and Admins do?

Posted:
in Feedback edited January 2014
I was just wondering the other day:



-can you read all edits of a post?

-can you read my PMs?

-can you change my password?

-How 'bout my signiture? can the Mods change that?



Just asking out of paranoia/curiosity.

    Does this happen sometimes?

    It never has yet. It's too much trouble to get access to your passwords since they're encrypted in the database.

    but if you changed a user's password, you wouldn't have to worry about decrypting it ;-)



    Brad is right, I know of no instances where any mod/admin has logged in under another user's account. I wouldn't anticipate such a scenario either...

    Nah, I think that the mods are mostly human.



    But I am convinced that they have a direct hotline to Steve Jobs desk. ( That's why they've all been given free G5 machines ahead of the rest of the universe )...

    Man I so envious of that but I can wait ( barely )8)

    Oh and by the way is there any connection between AI and

    Ok, cat is out of the bag. That G5 on ebay wasn't a scam, it was Powerdoc's. We needed the money for beer.
