You lost me at tracking PMs. All users have the option to block PMs and report to an admin if/when someone is harssing them.

I know because this happened to me before. A user was harassing me through PMs, and I told a mod about it, who passed the information to an admin and the offender was banned shortly after because I saved a log of the conversation.

If someone IS engaging in inappropriate conduct through private messages, the user needs to do the following to solve the problem.

1. Take screencaps or save a log.

2. Block private messages from the offender.

3. Talk to a moderator or administrator about banning the offender if they seem likely to continue harassing others.

With this out of the way, I object completely to having PRIVATE messages tracked. We already have enough moderators for the chat and this idea is pointless. If there is a problem in chat that slips by the mods, any user can notify them as long as they have some evidence- which it is already their own responsibility to do.
