Do you guys get curious and read people's PMs?

It's perfectly possible via AJAX. We don't do it though.
I see. Always thought it required the submit button to save the user's post to the server, and that until then it was like writing on Notepad on one's own computer (where no one without access to the computer could normally view).

I think they mean they create individual threads for each report, in order to discuss what action would be taken or whatever. I might be wrong though.

There is a lovely user named Forum Bot who does all the dirty work for us.
If you report a post/user, Forum Bot creates a thread in the Report subforum which has all of the information we need in it, and then we discuss/vote inside that thread.
You all should rep Forum Bot. He's been through a lot. (Ask Beccs what she did to poor Forum Bot.)

So, is there a Mod/Admin only equivalent of A69 ??
(and I think we can all agree, that's going to be the best question in this thread)
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The Staff Lounge has been called the cesspool of debauchery.

That's how it works here, and how most forums probably work. However, if you have JavaScript enabled in your web browser (which most people do), there's nothing stopping a developer from putting code on the page which takes whatever you are typing and sending it to a server in the background. You can even code it to do it on every single keystroke if you wanted, so there would be a constant stream of data being sent as you type or delete characters. Of course, the main reason most sites don't do this is likely the pointlessness of it combined with the amount of data the server would have to process.

If you look at the list of people online, there appears the names of yahoo and google. They are in black. Do you know why they are always there and not in blue?

We have a private jacuzzi that SC still hasn't cleaned.
