Thanks :) are you in California? California: Under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), it is illegal to record any communication without the consent of all parties involved. irc chat would probably fall under the ECPA too? while you'd probably be fine peeking at where users are getting stuck on a menu or watching how they crash a bbs door to leave a node stuck, i'd advise against trying to log chats. now that i'm thinking about it, it's probably not legal to read your user's email anymore either.. a lot has changed and an "assume i read everything" banner on a BBS is NOT something that would fly. why do you want to view their chats anyway? are you a creep? --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/25 (Windows/32) * Origin: cold fusion - cfbbs.net - grand rapids, mi ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
