(BDS) Operators shouln't be able to see other players private messages

When you are an server opperator on a BDS, you can see the messages that players send eachother privatly using the /msg or /tell command. If this is intentional I would like a way to turn that of because most players would not like OP's be able to see their private messages. This can be turned of by disabeling the ShowCommandFeedback gamerule.

    I respectfully disagree we prevented a major griefing because we could see people's private messages

    I agree, the server owner is unfairly using this feature to find bases on a realm Im in.

    As said in the post there is a gamerule to turn this logging off but that's completely in the operators control. From an owner / moderator standpoint it is valuable to be able to recognise what's going on & address it as it happens. However, what's not ok is theres no warning or indication to users that their whisper usage is not private. Many official servers do see the private messages you send, the difference? They warn you of that & say that the rules still apply (just in case theres still some uncertainty).
