I’m considering using Discourse for my group and I was wondering if I can view private messages between users. Can I view deleted private messages between users? Reason. It’s a discussion forum for a kids sports team and we want to make sure nothing untoward is happening between kids and adults.

Yes, in this case you would go here @snow [image] [image] Then choose. Flag and require approval will notify you If you need anyother help just ask :slight_smile:

Alternatively you could follow the approach of a community I helped build last year. Set your community to invite-only and invite only parents. Give them TL2 so that they in turn will manage the invitation of their own children.
