I suggest that staff members stop using the hidden content messages in threads where it's not warranted, such as this latest prime example of discussions between MrParkourGuy and mineterria.

You need to do it in a ban appeal to show proof; fantastic. That's about the only place it needs to be used.

 

It's used for more private questions, and info people don't need to know.

 

That's what private messages are for.
