Looking specifically for cases where a users’ privacy was breached and not covered in the forum registration / forum rules or any form.
Basically, the owning administrator is absent from the site and does not tend to it - so the moderators have full control of everything, including admin tools.
Some moderators then decided it would be okay to use their powers to gain access to other’s accounts and read their private messages. This wasn’t just a peek in the database or using some hack to view it, they had used the “reset member password” option and intercepted the message so it did not go through, took the temporary password and logged in.
I saw on vbulletin.org and theadminzone there are lots of criticism/comments about this particular issue, aside from one case mentioned (which I cannot find) I do not know what other resources could be used.
Any general help could be appreciated in the matter.
