Group chat OPs should have more control over messages in group chats

Basically DM OPs dont get much control over the DM they run. Pretty much all I know they can do so far is edit the title, add people and edit the first post which is at the top

I feel like more control they can recieve is:

  1. Being able to delete others messages
  2. Allowing to add Co-OPs to manage with them
  3. Being able to kick users (I don’t believe this is possible)

This would enhance DMs to be more like Discord but not Discord.

this might be a bit of a nuisance with the 500 message limit for larger group chats, carrying permissions over to new chats could happen but its still just a pain. maybe if the 500 message cap got removed or extended with this update it would really enhance DMs and this feature.

Also, im pretty sure OPs can remove users by editing the member list.

This might be a better thing for https://meta.discourse.org. It’s a good idea but i’m not sure how willing they’d be to adopt something like this over here.

These ideas are great, I run a group chat that has over 10k messages at this point, and I would love some more control over what is said.

This is definitely needed as I’ve now seen first hand how little power OP have in their GCs

This is the only thing i believe shouldn’t be possible or atleast just renaming the message to “(post deleted by OP)”

I also believe the message limit should be higher. Yes i know the devforum isn’t suppose to be used for general stuff but what about development? Going to discord isn’t a solution but a workaround, it would be nice to have it atleast a bit higher
