| Dec 17, 2015 at 17:24 | comment | added | Kit Z. Fox | With regard to regulars not caring when they break the rules, that's part of the problem. From my recent experience, a regular can and will hold a room hostage over being disciplined for rule violations. When regulars develop the attitude that rules don't apply to them and that they make the rules because they are regulars, that's a big problem for moderators. | |

| Dec 16, 2015 at 4:13 | comment | added | user245368 | I for one really enjoy reading old transcripts and reliving some conversations (especially ones where I first learned an idea). I do not think deleting everything periodically is a good solution. | |

The "edge of chat history" that I had in mind had nothing to do with getting rid of cruft/bad messages, but more to do with how we think about chat and nettled users crawling through chat history looking for ammunition. (unrelated: I appreciate the work that you're doing here, Shog9) | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 16:38 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | In theory, transcripts could often be purged after some length of time. In practice, determining when that should be is all but impossible: note that there are rules in place to delete or freeze inactive rooms, but even then nothing is hard deleted because the heuristics are often wrong; it's possible to refer back to old conversations or reply to old messages, and doing so is even desirable in many cases; hobbling the system for the sake of brushing cruft under the rug quickly becomes a race to the bottom. | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 16:31 | comment | added | 89c3b1b8-b1ae-11e6-b842-48d705 | I can understand why the feature set was chosen to be more persistent than IRC, but wasn't sure if that ruled out "delete on read" for user history or some retention-cliff (e.g. 6 months). Fair enough. | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 16:28 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | Private / transient chat on Stack Exchange is a non-starter; this system was created to be public and persistent because of the problems that arose trying to host a semi-official channel on IRC. If that's bothersome to anyone, they should find a different place to chat posthaste. | |
