Delete posted messages

Troubleshooting
1

Admins and normal users are able to delete posted messages anytime, regardless when they are posted.

In slack we can restrict the user to edit/delete the posted message upto certain time, beyond that time the message can’t be edited/deleted…

Will this feature be added in future releases.

If not exactly same as slack feature, are there any plans to restrict deletion of posted messages by normal users.

Thanks @kdevineni,

These features make a lot of sense.

Could we have your help filing a feature idea so this can be upvoted?

Hi there,

we need this feature, too. I’m looking into it. Can’t promise anything because I didn’t start yet. If anyone else wants to work on this, don’t hold back.

However, my idea:

  • For the start: A Team setting “Allow edits” + “Allow deletes”.
  • Next steps: Channel + Server Options “Allow edits” + “Allow deletes”.
  • Edits(/deletes) are only possible if:
    Server.allowEdits == true && Team.allowEdits == true && Channel.allowEdits == true
    Why? Most likely you want to disallow edits because some form of regulation forces you. These regulations are most likely company-wide / team-wide. Therefore they can not be overwritten on an lower level.

What are your thoughts on this?
