    I agree idk why this hasn't been implemented already sometimes I have to delete messages with my gf because her parents are strict and read her messages sometimes even though she's already 19. Please discord make this a feature already it's so frustrating to delete messages one by one. Thank you.

    They said the topic I actually cared about was a duplicate of this one. I want to delete all of my message history in a channel or server.

    It clearly wasn't a duplicate is this topic is for clearing DMs. Discord staff told me the same thing incorrectly Hegemon.

    Comme administrateur du salon xplane pilote controle bien que l'option "ne pas conserver l’historique des messages" est activée", cette option ne fonctionne pas et du coup j’ai des kilomètres de messages même lorsque je me connecte pas un soir mais que les membres sont envoyés des messages et je dois me farcir des fois une cinquantaine d’effacement manuellement.

    Teamviewer, Mumble et autre logiciel concurrents à Discord, permettent d'effacer soit tout l’historique en une seule fois,, soit on peut activer cette option de supprimer les messages à la fermeture.

    Je demande donc que l’équipe de développer de discord implémente cette option de sélection d’effacement de tous les messages .

    Thank you for the feedback Ypsos. It is truly sad that discord cannot keep up with it's competitors in this regard.

    I am tired of being constantly harangued by post updates on this issue and apparently nothing being done about it. I was a Nitro supporter, but honestly at the price it is per month I haven't seen much of anything being worth my communities donations in improvements. Yes, the application is very robust and deserves donations, but what we have to pay for Nitro is steep when not seeing features like this being ignored.

    Being able to hide/delete unwanted DMs on your own side is very important. I don't like knowing that someone can send me whatever inappropriate content they want, and I have no way to keep it out of my sight other than to block the user or close the conversation entirely. Those are valuable options to have, sure, but a lot of the time you need a more fine-grained solution, because you're not always able to do that with someone you need to continue working with.

    At the same time, I am more than a little unsettled by the thought of enabling abusers to destroy all evidence of abuse and harassment at the click of a button. I have personal experience in this. For a long time, I was abused by a manipulative, controlling narcissist on Discord, and the only reason I was able to get anyone to support me was because I had half a year's worth of evidence in the form of Discord messages from him. Abusers care a lot about controlling information and hiding the evidence of their abuse. I'm sure that if he'd had the power to immediately delete all his messages to me, he would have done so as soon as I started to fight back and expose him.

    The way I see it, the messages that you see on your Discord client, that's *your* data. The messages that other people see on their Discord client, regardless of who sent it, is *their* data, and they have a right to keep it. You should only be able to bulk delete someone's copy of the messages you sent them if you have their consent to do so.

    I disagree but thanks for the feedback. Discord already gives you the ability to delete your data, our suggestion just saves you from having to use a script to wipe it instantly.

    Time is an investment. Ease of access and ease of execution are important things to take into account. If you keep the task of clearing a significant amount of time's data a gargantuan effort (or high with a script) as it is now, those who wish to do it nefariously will be less inclined. I agree with Amacita on this. If you want to delete your content you should have to do it slowly.

    Thanks for the feedback but if someone really doesn't want to wait they can delete their whole account. Our suggestion just saves people from making new accounts.

    I get the concerns about abusive users, but I'm pretty sure the intention isn't to keep the other person from being able to see your messages. Nor is it about letting them delete their comments on your end. They can already do that. That's what screenshots are for. This is about not wanting to see entire conversations in your own DMs, wanting to remove your and their messages from your own view - not necessarily theirs. Or, probably more likely in most of these cases, to keep someone in your household (like a parent or roommate) from seeing your private conversations on a shared computer.

  • Squarto

    Nikki, unfortunately both groups of people you just described have been lumped into this single feature request because the mods keep merging any request that is similar. That means this feature request not only includes clearing client-side messages, but server-side messages too.

    By laws of GDPR we are entitled to the Right of Erasure and remove our personal data as we see fit. Even if this is just a "Clear conversation" option it should be available as standard. The fact that it has taken this long is kinda mad considering how Discord is currently not compliant. If you're telling us to delete our accounts just to get this you're giving your customers, some of us paying for Nitro, an awful user experience.

    Implement this change request already.

    Thank you for the feedback Frostburn. It is very valuable in our fight for data privacy and freedom.

    Ugh, that's frustrating. I hope they figure out a solution soon that satisfies both groups.

    Something for Discord to understand. As the user above pointed out, not being able to do this violates GDPR, and since Discord operates across international boundaries, they could be liable. The penalties are stiff:   GDPR violation fine

    What is the maximum administrative fine under the GDPR? There are two tiers of administrative fine that can be levied as penalties for GDPR non-compliance: Up to €10 million, or 2% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater; or. Up to €20 million, or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater.

    This issue has persisted for a very long time. I would suggest interested users file a complaint here: https://edps.europa.eu/node/75_en

    Bonjour
    Comment se fait-il que mon message d’il y a 5 jours est toujours en attente de validation et non publié à ce jour?

    Thank you @Captain. As an EU citizen I will be contacting my legal counsel regarding discord's use of data and will be looking forward to taking action.

    how is this not implemented yet on a app so popular like discord ._.

    Bonjour
     Ne pas confondre protection des droits privés pour la conservation des données et ce qui est une autre question dont celle du droit d’auteur généré dans un texte écrit dans un chat.
    Un espace chat pouvant être considéré comme une conversation téléphonique ou les mots ne sont pas enregistrés.

    En France par exemple:

    -si on conserve les coordonnées et les textes dans un forum il faut faire une déclaration à la CNIL pour la partie concernant les bases de données des forums.

    -les écrits des personnes sont de leur propriété et ne peuvent pas être effacés par l’administrateur ou un modérateur.

    -par contre un autre droit s’applique  aux forums. C’est celui du  droit opposable  à la presse . Celui par exemple de ne pas promouvoir des actes illégaux ou amoraux. Dans ce contexte la modération s’impose .

    mais pour les fenêtres de chat les textes sont supprimés et ne sont pas conservés généralement sur bon nombre de forums.

    je pense que les juristes de Discord devraient dans ce contexte comme ceux de Skype,Teamviewer, LogMein Hamachi etc, valider le fait

    De fait cela ne devrait pas poser de problème juridique en intégrant l'option, de suppression  automatique de tous les messages dans la fenêtre de chat.

    Salut

    Ce qui est demandé par de nombreuses personnes est que puisque l'on peut déjà supprimer individuellement les messages, comme administrateurs du salon je dois avoir la possibilité d'activer une option pour supprimer automatiquement tous les messages dans ma fenêtre de chat sans devoir supprimer une cinquantaine de messages à la main chaque jour.

    Je précise également que j'ai activé dans Discord l'option , "ne pas conserver l'historique des messages "

    En activant cette option, à chaque fermeture de Discord les messages textes sont supprimés. Mais ceci que chez les membres du salon.

    Or si la suppression automatique sur fermeture fonctionne très bien chez eux, dans le salon chez moi,  mon logiciel Discord en ma qualité d'administrateur, conserve tous les historiques.

    Ce que je demande c'est que comme teamviewer, Mumble, skype etc... on doit pouvoir activer le mode suppression de tous les messages textes automatiquement également en tant qu'administrateur dans ma fenêtre de texte.

    Il faut se souvenir que les salons sont privés et modérés.

    Aussi, si un membre ne respecte pas la charte, harcèle, est grocier, incite à la violence ou tout acte illégal, il est de suite éjecté du salon.

    Il n'y a donc aucun intérêt de conserver l'historique des textes dans ce contexte.

    Par contre , si quelqu'un souhaite conserver une information diffusée dans la fenêtre message texte, ou une preuve par exemple en cas de harcèlement comme cité plus haut, la personne  peut toujours sauvegarder individuellement les messages.

    Bref à cause de cas spécifiques rares,, limités et marginaux, la grande majorité des utilisateurs  du logiciel Discord est contrainte à des pertes de temps et doit réaliser des procédures fastidieuses de suppression de messages.

    Cette option de suppression automatique sur fermeture de Discord, pourrait être intégrée dans Discord comme le fond ses concurrents.

    Discord pourrait prévoir la possibilité pour les administrateurs,  de pouvoir cocher ou pas la case "activer suppression automatique sur fermeture des messages textes",

    Dernier point,  le principe du Droit de protection de la vie privée . Comme Discord est utilisé partout dans le monde ce droit peut changer d'un pays à l'autre.

    Raison de plus de permettre aux administrateur des salons d'avoir la possibilité de supprimer ou pas les messages texte chez eux dans leur Discord .

    Si les membres veulent conserver les textes c'est leur problème.

    Sur la question de la protection privée. Il est précisé

    En salon privé xplane on ne parle que du simulateur de vol et rien de plus.

    Etant personnellement  dans  la règlementation, il est hors de question d'aborder des sujet illégaux et immoraux.

    En activait l'option dans mon salon ne pas conserver l'historique tous les messages textes sont automatiquement supprimés chez les membres lorsqu'ils quittent Discord.

    J'ai pris comme administrateur ce choix car je ne souhaite pas découvrir un jour un membre qui a quitté notre groupe, qu'il publie  hors contexte un message texte  de notre groupe alors que je n'ai aucun moyen de contrôler l'usage qu'il va en faire..

    Certes on a rien à cacher mais c'est dangereux de laisser cette porte ouverte aussi je préfère la suppression chaque soir des messages textes

    I agree, discord should allow us to delete all our messages sent in all the servers and in all the direct messages we sent messages to. Also i think that when you delete your discord account every single one of your messages should be deleted no matter what, both to servers and in direct messages,  since currently when you choose to delete your account your profile and messages will remain visible in other servers or direct messages as "deleted user#" and sensitive information could've been left behind in that deleted account.

    @Yqsos made a very great point you can read it here it is in English in case you want to read it                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  'What many people are asking for is that since you can already delete messages individually, as a salon administrator I should be able to enable an option to automatically delete all messages in my chat window without having to delete about 50 messages by hand each day. I also specify that I have activated in Discord the option, "do not keep message history" By activating this option, each time Discord is closed, text messages are deleted. But this only among the members of the show. However, if the automatic deletion on closing works very well for them, in the living for meroom , my software Discord as administrator, keeps all the histories. What I am asking is that as a teamviewer, Mumble, skype etc.... we should be able to activate the deletion mode of all text messages automatically also as an administrator in my text window. It should be remembered that the lounges are private and moderate. Also, if a member does not respect the charter, harasses, is grocier, incites violence or any illegal act, he is immediately ejected from the show. There is therefore no point in keeping the history of the texts in this context. On the other hand, if someone wants to keep information displayed in the text message window, or evidence for example in case of harassment as mentioned above, the person can always save the messages individually. In short, due to rare, limited and marginal specific cases, the vast majority of users of the Discord software are forced to waste time and have to carry out tedious message deletion procedures. This option of automatic deletion on closing Discord, could be integrated into Discord as the background of its competitors. Discord could provide the possibility for administrators to be able to check or not the box "enable automatic deletion on closing of text messages", Finally, the principle of the Right to Privacy. As Discord is used all over the world this right may vary from one country to another. All the more reason to allow room administrators to have the possibility to delete or not text messages at home in their Discord. If members want to keep the texts, that is their problem. On the issue of private protection. It is specified that In the private lounge xplane we only talk about the flight simulator and nothing more. Being personally in the regulatory process, it is out of the question to deal with illegal and immoral subjects. Enabled the option in my living room not to keep history all text messages are automatically deleted from members when they leave Discord. I took this choice as administrator because I don't want to discover one day a member who has left our group, that he publishes out of context a text message from our group when I have no way of controlling how he will use it... Certainly we have nothing to hide but it is dangerous to leave this door open so I prefer deleting text messages every night'

    To add on though, I really think this would be an amazing feature, when it comes down to it things such as break ups, arguments between friends and family happen WAY more often than harassment and such. Don't get me wrong if someone is getting harassed or bullied it shouldn't be overlooked but when it comes down to it you can simply grab a screenshot and that's that, you have the proof. On the other hand forcing people who want to wipe their history with a certain someone is outrageous. There should be a simple feature allowing the removal of all the messages you've sent to a certain person instantly on both sides. If someone wishes to keep/save messages it's completely their responsibility to keep it archived. Discord adding a feature to allow the removal of all messages sent to someone on the press of a button would save an extensive amount of time and on top of that is a great way to keep everything fresh and clean for those who wish so. This feature should've been already added, it does way more good than bad, and it should get added as soon as possible.
