The only thing mods have access to is the information we need to do our jobs, and that doesn't include email addresses. FatalAccident posted... When you sign up you give them your email address. Im not talking about turning up to dudes house or blowing up his phone but something like a quick email to say hey havent seen you in a while. A lot of websites do that actually, but its usually automated. Ive seen it on clothing websites and some consumer info websites - hey we havent seen you in a while how about a discount? But this time it would be, hey you havent logged in in a while, you ok? This is not based on experience with this site, just in general, but someone's personal information they put into those forms are usually encrypted so that no human, even if they have access to the database, can read it. The only thing that would be visible would be a public e-mail address, which obviously everybody can see. Hence why it is an automated e-mail. Furthermore, people leave this site for a variety of reasons and GameFAQs is not in the business of doing welfare checks because someone has decided to not log in for a while. --- I am a Contract Software Developer. What does that mean? I don't know, let me know if you figure it out. <cite>Dikitain posted [p:949127633] in PO hasn't ...
