I’m considering using Discourse for my group and I was wondering if I can view private messages between users. Can I view deleted private messages between users? Reason. It’s a discussion forum for a kids sports team and we want to make sure nothing untoward is happening between kids and adults.

Yes, you can see users private messages. [Bild] snow: Can I view deleted private messages between users? When you have discourse you can look in logs :slight_smile: ▶ Ethics of admins reading messages

[Bild] snow: Reason. It’s a discussion forum for a kids sports team and we want to make sure nothing untoward is happening between kids and adults. This is precisely the reason why we have always argued that admins need this privilege and it is in fact a safety feature.

Yes, in this case you would go here @snow [image] [image] Then choose. Flag and require approval will notify you If you need anyother help just ask :slight_smile:

Alternatively you could follow the approach of a community I helped build last year. Set your community to invite-only and invite only parents. Give them TL2 so that they in turn will manage the invitation of their own children.

I’m sure this is right in front of me :grimacing: but can’t find the private messages in my logs from my admin account…
