Suggestion: don't do that anymore. It's rather unsettling that what is supposed to be private communication isn't and that you are so cavalier about it.
EDIT: It's also rather disturbing that some mods remained active in the game-side of NS after being modded if they also could, at any moment, look through TGs that could very well contain private gameplay moves. But hey, I'm never going to use TGs after this statement anyways.
I'm fairly sure that looking at a player's telegrams is a moderator action, and therefore logged - so any mod who did try to abuse it for such things could be trivially identified.
Furthermore, I'm not sure why you are disturbed. A telegram is a direct message from one NS user to another. For obvious reasons, it isn't a fully secret private message, and when circumstances require they can be checked by the people who run the website - the admins, and their designated moderators. The most common reason seems likely to be "to check up on reports of flaming or other forbidden behaviour via TG", but when you're vetting someone for suitability for moderation, anything they do on this site is a reasonable thing to check.
If you want your messages fully private from the people who run a website, don't use the messaging system built into that website. This is bloody internet 101 here, not some sort of super-oppressive NS unique thing.
