¿Se eliminan los mensajes de chat de forma permanente después del período de retención?

Are chat posts kept in the database after the retention period, after chat post deletion or after chat channel deletion? Thanks.

I guess this is partly related to the question above about what happens to chat posts when they’re not visible any more: Official Discourse Chat Plugin - #15

My bad, I meant to reply to that and it’s slipped away from me.

Currently they are hard-deleted[1] after the retention period. :+1:

For individual chat message or chat channel deletions, they are initially soft-deleted[2], and we’re adding in the bit that will make them hard-deleted along with the others once the retention period rolls round.

(Small note: Even though the channels are soft-deleted initially, there is currently no way to resurrect them once gone. It’s on the roadmap, but hasn’t been scheduled as yet)


  1. ie. ‘Permanently removed from the database’ ↩︎

  2. ie. ‘Hidden from public view’ ↩︎
