Allow staff to edit other users' chat messages

Was about to create a new topic but found this one after a second search. I feel this doesn’t need a ton of explanation, but it would be very helpful to have the ability to edit chat messages of users much like we can for posts in a topic.

This is of course valuable for moderation of all severities, as Jammy mentioned. Sometimes it’s that someone incorrectly described something:

  • *X product only allows a rate limit of 5 calls per minute" (when its 5 per second)
  • Others may see that and think, “That product is bad, not for me, etc.”

On a more severe case:
We run live events on our Discourse platform now. We have dozens/hundreds of comments coming in. While we have many controls in place to prevent spam/unwanted behavior, it can still happen. This alone makes the moderation of chat a serious need for the enterprise.
