Server Message Retention Policy (e.g. delete messages older than a year)

Jahed

Like Slack, it would be nice to be able to configure a server-level retention policy.

For example, "Keep messages in this server for one year". Servers could choose from a range from "Forever", "Three years", "One year" "6 months", etc.

This would clean up a lot of stale messages and de-clutter the search. It'd also give users piece of mind that everything they send isn't stored for eternity.

It would also help companies / groups justify their decision to use Discord over similar chat platforms that do have message retention configurations (a principle of GDPR).

    A custom Discord bot could easily handle this issue (atleast from the outside). However, i'm sure records of the deleted messages are still on Discord's servers.

    I actually agree with this. This definitely should be added for extra security. @discord please make this happen.

    This would be a great way to stop lives from being ruined. Removing usernames to "anonymize" messages does almost nothing in practice.

    I would like to add in addition to server level retention, Doing granular retention per channel would be great.

    I would like to add support for records retention policies and data guarantee on servers.  We run a non-profit org and many of my volunteers prefer discord over slack.  However, because we have to keep records of conversations for years.   This has to be guaranteed and also that a dump of all our retained data will be made to us in the (hopefully never) event that discord shuts down.
