Messages can’t be actively monitored, but it’s worth emphasizing that Discourse refers to them as ‘Messages’ because they _aren’t_ private, any administrator can view the messages of **any** user. Communicating that alone might be enough to deter misbehavior.

Alternatively, if you’re concerned about the risk of abuse, Messages can be disabled sitewide by unchecking ` enable personal messages` in `/admin/settings`.
