Simply limit root access to one staffer, or two at the most.  Not every
member needs root.  anybody that worried about staff reading their email
wouldn't use email on this kind of board anyway.  Or they'd use
encryption.  Actually couldn't an encryption routine be added, i.e.:

'would you like to encrypt this file? (y/n)'

If yes then the user is prompted to put in a password, the file is
encrypted and the only person who can de-encrypt it is the one who has
the password.  Then even staff couldn't read the files.
