Something needs to be done about people making public accusations that you sent them PMs when you didn't.

In these cases Admins need to step in and verify the truthfulness (checking PM boxes if neccesssary) of these claims.

Wouldn't it be worthwhile that if those "falsely" accused would contact an admin/moderator to do the verifying (since the admins/mods can't be everywhere at once)? ;) This deals with the question of privacy of the PM box of the "accused" rather than being done on whim...

It should be done in special cases only I agree. But it should be done if requested.

If a person makes an accusation they should be prepared to back it up.
