How private are private messages?

I want to implement buddypress in a school situation, and I would like to monitor for bullying and other harassing behaviors that don’t get reported by the students. As the admin, do I have the ability to read/monitor private messages between users?

@Chccclay – Theirs no admin screen to read them, however unlike passwords which are hashed, messages are readable in plain text via the database. So, to answer your question, if you have database access then yes. you can read them.

@Chccclay there is also premium plugin, BuddyPress Message Privacy, which will give your students the ability to control who can send them private messages.

Is there a way to hash private messages in BP for added security?
