I don't think there's a way they can easily read them without a permalink. More likely that an automatic system detected a meanie word and flagged it.

They would probably need to know the permalink.

Unless they have an external program I am an admin on this site and I've installed reddit myself, and to my knowledge there is no easy way to access PMs on either of them. You need to have the permalink. And I highly doubt they read through everything even if they did have a way, there's just too much.

it is possible to create such tools. and it wouldn't be hard.

Unless they have an external program

well there ya go.

multi-billion dollar corp can afford to write a bot that even I can dream up and probably code in an aftenoon
