Some things about privacy

[Jinx]

private chat is private.

maybe the console message ( or the custom console message ) was just a coincident and not refering to you ( after all - there are sometimes up to 200 players around )

so :

green chat IS private ( either direct PM via the chatlist, /r reply to a PM received or /t target PM at your selected target on your scanners )

blue chat is local ( scanner range )

light blue chat is system

pink chat is groupchat

i am sure you know about it ( and you pointed it out ) - in private chat, you can usually speak freely - if the addressed person agrees on it ( context usually determines if its RPed or not ) - but the chat itself stays private unless one side decides to post its content ( which should also not really happen, unless the content was a violation of rules - like insults and/or violation of common laws - like hints how to hack / cheat etc )

and i don t think anyone is meant to spy on your private chat either.


groupchat, local, system is best to be RPed. - groupchat is a bit troublesome - often its done in a not-so-much-roleplayed manner. - but we had players get sanctioned for using a tone too casual ( swear words ) in groupchat. mind, there was also an incident that a player got sanctioned for harrassment or swearing in skype ( but this decision was a bit controversial from what i remember )



in your case, i d guess that the console message wasn t pointing at you if you were talking in private chat.
