I'm not sure if that's the case, 452. I'd imagine it may not be.

I think a lot of users have the reasonable expectation of what they say in a private message is a message to another person and won't be seen by anyone else unless it's shared by that other person. I'd personally be very wary of changing that. For example - I could be discussing personal topics with a friend - perhaps something I don't want anyone but that friend to see. I wouldn't want conversations like that to be logged under any circumstance - even if it were never looked at again.

As Sannse says, sometimes you have to be responsible for your experience on the site, consider a private message to be your own private chat room where if you don't want to talk to that person any more, you can block them.

As for public chatlogs, I don't think they are really something we should have across Wikia either. For a discussion of why, please see this article
