Author Topic: Cinemark email David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-22-2003 12:12 PM                        I'm not employed in the biz, so I'm allowed to poke around. Email can be sent to Cinemark theatres using the form "[Cinemark location number]@cinemark.com" (Example: 666@cinemark.com). Is it just assumed that this email traffic is monitored by Cinemark corporate? The reason I'm asking is email communications with individual locations seem very "formal", even when an informal dialog is attempted. Just curious, not trying to stir anything up. It's a private corporate email system and they can make whatever "permissible uses" rules they want, just like many companies do. And do locations have general web access, or are they restricted to the Cinemark network?  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-22-2003 04:42 PM                     Yes, they DO monitor e-mail there pretty closely. They also monitor internet/www usage very closely. An employee CAN get in trouble for using the computers for anything except business. They use LOTUS CC:Mail for their e-mail system. (At least they USED to when I worked there.) Everything must go through their central server(s). A CC:Mail server is incompatible with just about everything except CC:Mail. No other e-mail client (that I know) will work with it. They CAN and DO put spyware on the computers in their theaters but AFAIK they haven't done it with everybody. Some theaters have their communications monitored and others don't. As to how often they CHECK on what people do and say, I can't tell you. I do know that I have seen people who have gotten in trouble for "misusing" the computers in their theaters.  |  IP: Logged
