Add Edit and Delete functionality to the Text Chat

December 15 (2 years ago)

Edited December 15 (2 years ago)

Platforms such as Discord allow you or the host (in this case, GM) freely edit and delete posts in the text chat. In order to run a functional text-based tabletop game, a delete and edit feature for text chat is necessary. Currently, GMs are forced to use external programs to host text-based games if they want these features, creating an awkward situation where you have Discord for one feature and Roll20 for maps and character sheets. I would prefer to not be forced to use another platform to run games with these chat management features.

The 'hide a post' feature, which was recently implemented, is not a delete or edit function, is insufficient, and is and GM-only, making it useless for most instances where a player may wish to delete or modify their text post during synchronous or asynchronous play.

This hide feature took them 7 years to develop. And in the respective thread all wished for a true delete function (which would be really nice!)... But I am afraid we will never get that... at least not in the near future...
