Move Messages

It would be really useful for moderators to be able to move messages between text channels in a guild.

This could involve a new permission: 'MOVE_MESSAGES'.

Some concerns about this idea have been raised, but do not seem to be fatal. These are touched upon as follows.

Could this be abused?
It could only be abused to the same extent as existing powers such as kicks, bans, and message deletions. Guilds could have the ability to control who wields the power, preferably through a dedicated MOVE_MESSAGES permission. They could also monitor its use through the Audit Log. If the power were to be abused under these conditions, the issue would seem to lie with the powerholders in the guild in question, rather than the power itself.

Could members be confused?
If a message is moved without any indication, this could be confusing, as members may not realise that their message has been moved. This could be helped by having an automated system message which takes the place of the moved message to explain that the message has been moved.

  I can see this was mentioned that it might be added soon on Discord's Twitter - THREE YEARS ago. What happened? This is almost a no-brainer: admins/moderators should be able to move chat messages when a user posts them in the wrong channel.

  I would also suggest going one step further and allowing the admin to select multiple posts at once for movement.

  I too wonder why this isn't a feature already. I see people post messages in the wrong channels all the time and it'd be MUCH easier to just move it to the right channel instead of lecturing people about it. 

  [Edit] And to also help admins make people conscious of the move while avoiding shaming their users, the users who had their messages moved could get a message from the Clyde bot that only they can see. 

  And of course as Hexenritter suggested, please make it where we can select multiple messages for those long conversations that spring up in irrelevant channels.

  Noob to Discord here.I was just searching for the way to do this, and surprised to see it has been on the "waiting list" for three years. Can anyone from Discord comment on why this has been left behind for so long?  It seems like a basic permission that admins would use regularly.

  Seems like Discord dosen't care to add this rather basic admin feature.

  Hello, fellow user that just google searched how to complete this basic interaction and found out it’s IMPOSSIBLE. The ability to move messages to the appropriate channel should not be too difficult for the developers to implement, and would greatly reduce the woes admins/mods feels and the shame participants feel for making a simple mistake that could have gone unmentioned. Come on now, 3 years? Do you see how many people have commented in this week alone? Listen to your users. We are your bloodline.

  This should have been a feature long time ago. I'm relatively new at moderating a channel and straight away I'm missing the ability to move posts to other text channels.

  Nope. If you want to move a conversation thread, the participants have to copy/delete/paste their posts in the order they were posted. One. By. One.

  Without this feature, it is not possible for moderators to actually moderate a channel. It relies on the good will and discipline of the user, and does not provide a way for moderators to correct off-channel posts other than to delete the posting, which often is a source of drama, accusations of censorship, etc.

  I completely disagree with the post above that says this isn't needed. It is a basic feature of any discussion software that has even basic moderation features. Without it, I can no longer say Discord channels can be moderated.  (Only "cleaned".)

  I made a discord group just a couple days ago and already I'm frustrated that it doesn't have this feature... looked online to see if this was a feature I just didn't know how to do since I'm new to discord, and nope!

  Please make this a thing, please make this a thing! I have a server member that insist on posting messages in the wrong channel. It doesn't matter how many times she's asked, she still does it. I alternate between wanting to strangle her and hit her over the head. I'm about ready to change her role so she can only post in one channel but she's a friend's girlfriend and that may cause more problems.

  I definitely agree, it would be very useful to just pick up and move a message from one channel to another. A user perhaps posts a link in the wrong channel, it would be great to be able to hit the option button, click "Move," and choose a channel for it to be shifted to. Preserve timestamp and position in chat timeline, and perhaps send a little private notification to OP, politely letting them know their message has been moved.

  please add this. its a huge pain as an admin to only be able to request users post specific topics in appropriate text channels and not be able to enforce it other than just deleting a post completely.

  I hate having to tell people that they should move their question or link to a different channel.  I should be able to just do this as the admin/mod.  Its absurd that this is not a thing yet.  if discord is to serve as a forum alternative it needs basic features such as move message.

   

  DO. IT. NOW.

  My friends sometimes seem incapable of posting things in the right channel, so I would love to be able to move their content instead of remove it and have them either dig the piece of media up again, or they will just go "Meh, not going to repost it" and it'll just be gone.

   

  Minor issue, I know, but this would be very nice to have.

  "this could be abused..."

  It could be, but if the server owner trusts me enough to give me Admin privileges, doesn't that mean I'm trusted enough not to abuse all of the other privileges that come with being an Admin? I always took that to be the reason there are Permissions and Roles to begin with.

  I collaborate on various projects in Discord servers. Teams often need to move posts to specific channels (e.g., screenshots, tasks, reminders, lists) to better organize that information, but teams can't do that, currently.

  As for the "potential for abuse" comments, I feel like these comments were mistakenly posted in the wrong thread. Allowing administrators, moderators, and other administrator-controlled roles to move posts between channels has no relation to editing messages, impersonating users, or spam.

  For decades, forum software (e.g., vBulletin, phpBB) has allowed administrators and moderators to move threads between forums. When threads are moved, optionally, a link to their new location appears at their original location so that users can find those moved threads again. In addition, "fine print" may be added to the bottom of the original post in those threads that typically reads: "Moderation reason: Thread moved by <moderator>."

  It is a critical feature for keeping communities organized, on-topic, and civil.

  Discord needs a similar feature.

  If Discord won't do this, they should post some sort of "Won't Fix" response, at least.

  I think so long as the original channels shows some sort of notice that a message was moved, and possibly also to what channel, it would alleviate any potential confusion in both channels.

  This would be interesting to see, not least because it would help fix messages which got accidentally posted to the wrong channel in a particular server.
