Option to remove / delete all sent messages in chats

I'm aware this kind of suggestion has been done before, but I still want to add my piece of this.

I would love if Discord added a “remove / delete / clear all messages” button to the chats, the way Telegram does it. However, since I understand Discord wants to prevent bad actors from using this feature (which is why they don't want to add it afaik), I want to also suggest that you can only use the feature if your account is over a certain amount of years old, or that it can only be used on certain chats under some criteria - for example, it can only be used once every year, and only if the chat is over a year old.

I remember when I asked Steam to delete my “previously used nicknames” before they added the feature to remove your previously used nicknames, they told me it was fundamentally impossible at the time. But with the EU regulations they added it.

The reason why I'm recommending this a tldr, so simply put, I've been on Discord daily for almost a decade, since 2015 - at that time, I was 17 years old, and I'm now (almost) 27 years old. Unsurprisingly, I was a very different person back then than to who I am now. While I didn't engage in any TOS or guideline breaking behavior (the opposite, enforced it), I did get bullied, stalked and harassed due to moderating some chats, which I did report to the correct places.

Anyway, it would personally give me a large peace of mind knowing I can be who I am today and not be concerend or haunted by my past, the same way Steam let me get that peace of mind. That's all.
