Our private message server is fairly safe. None of the mods can read your messages, some admins maybe could but we respect everyones privacy.

Remember – no unencrypted computer network is 100% secure or private..

To preserve your security

• you must look after your password and user ID carefully.
• if you use your friends computer or a library computer make sure you log out properly of the site when you are finished
• if you use a computer at work, your IT department can check what you are sending across the net including your private messages (but it takes time and resources to do this is very rare this happens) -maybe only if they suspected you of ripping off your employers or bringing them into disrepute and were gathering evidence. If you are concerned about this, only use sites like this from home. Most companies will block access to sites they don’t want people using fro the workplace anyway.

There is only really one big security risk to most users in Western countries and that would be if you are arrested for a “physical” crime (such as drug use/dealing) and cops seize your computer equipment; they get scientists to check all the data on there and can therefore find out your user ID and password for message boards.

If one of your friends gets nicked and this happens, then there is a slight chance that cops have read your private messages to them

if you are worried, then if you exchange a mobile number with someone you trust it makes it harder for authorities to follow the traffic as they then need a warrant with the mobile company as well as an ISP.

But TBH 95% of you need not worry. If you are just a raver or even part of a sound crew and are not involved in wider criminality (such as drug deals or any kind of “blags/scams” to fund your lifestyle) the cops do not have the time or resources to monitor your net traffic.
