The GM Should Be Able To See All Whispers

We were disappointed that the GM wasn't able to see whispers between players. We want our characters to be able to whisper between one another without other players noticing, but it's somewhat pointless unless the GM knows about it as well.

Players can whisper to a character sheet and those people in control of the character sheet will see the message. By default that also includes the GM.
errr, has that changed? previously it only included the GM if the GM put himself as one of the controlling characters. not nay-saying, just checking on that one, and have noone to test it with currently.
A snoopy GM can probably sneak in an API script that catches all 'whispers' and sends them to him :)
Yeah... and that loophole should be closed as well. No GM needs access to my whispers, ever.
I'm going to close this thread because this has been previously discussed at-length and our position on this hasn't changed. Since those previous discussions the ability to create a Character that you can whisper to as a "group" has been added, allowing the workaround that Gauss mentioned. See previous discussions...which didn't really end so well, but in which our position was clearly stated on this. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/105269/#post-105" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/105269/#post-105</a>... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/98018/#post-9983" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/98018/#post-9983</a>...
