Why don't we have an option to delete the PMs
Forums:
Unlike other forums and web-sites I have usually subscribed to , I have noticed that there is no option to delete the old PMs. I mean if there are options to move to archieve and other folders , how come we can't have an option to delete and don't these PMs make an overload on the forum.
I appreciate your efforts

I like the responsibility of this at the moment
Nothing is hidden here in Private Messages
it cannot be used to intimidate or threats made
upon each other...wait a moment and remove
with no evidence.. Its all here for the "record"
so to speak.. Live chats are the same
I dont think unless one cuts and pastes and
entire session that there is a record of such
things.....
so this keeps us honest with our emotions
sometimes
even though its private one cannot even
really go "off the record"

Many is the time I've wanted to delete a PM
sent in haste or anger. But I totally agree with Esker. These things need to be preserved for site safety and accountability.

I don't get how
How does any pm preserve the site safty and accountability as you have just stated. I frankly consider this a weakness in the site's software or programming.

[smiles] you are a great hearted person, Rula
PM's are strictly private, not even Andrew can view them, but I have sometimes used them in an inappropriate way, to my deep regret, and the recipient has then been able to quote them to make a complaint. I am one of the reasons that keeping them is necessary.
Don't worry about security or the load on the site memory, text takes very little memory.
cheers,
Jess

Well... I am accountable for my misbehaviour
But other people have misused PMs too.
