"Is there such a functionality available? I can think of various situations where a sent message can become obsolete, inappropriate, misconstrued, a mistake, undesirable, embarrassing, etc. Or you've shared too much info, or you've simply changed your mind. Presumably at the moment the Delete command under the Sent Messages tab simply deletes it from the sender's list, but the message remains in the recipient's inbox. Is there an appetite for such a facility? I could see it as part of a premium suite of services for, say, Diamond supporters."
No, there isn't that function I don't think, I am thinking the message system on FS is that the same as an e-mail, the message will still stay in my inbox. Regarding sent messages that are, inappropriate, misconstrued, a mistake, undesirable, embarrassing, etc. or someone sharing too much info, is the responsibility of the sender of the message and that they should think twice prior to sending the message. Your suggestion throws up problems, for instance, I could send you an undesirable message and then once you have read it, I could delete it without any trace. There are many people on this site that would like to bad mouth others via a message and then delete the message once read. If someone sends an embarrassing message then they will have to take the brunt from the recipient. That is my thoughts anyway xx |
