I don't know if you know Aion, but it's an MMORPG game where alot of bots are active, which farm the monsters 24/7.
Those bots offer ingame money to players via pm's for real money, which is clearly illegal activity.
Even with the help of the players which have a report command, they aren't able to fight of those bots fast enough.
Ban one and 3 others take it's place, it's a plague.
At some point, there were more bots than normal players.
So for me: YES, admins have the right to read pm's.
Normal chat is logged anyway by samp itself, so why not pm's?
And the normal chat can be seen by the server-owner as well.
If you want to maintain a fun server for everyone to play on, you must be able to read everything that goes on between players.
Your admins aren't there just to catch cheaters, but to protect your server and everyone who plays on it.
If some players make plans via pm's to attack your server for example, wouldn't you like to know about it?
Or some players may advertise their own server via pm's to try to lure others to their own server and steal your players.
