Does Discord delete old message?

Yes, Discord does delete old messages if you set it up to do so. You can set up Discord to automatically delete messages older than a certain amount of time. This is done by going to the settings of the server and selecting the “Message Ages” tab.

You can then choose how long messages are kept in the server, before they are automatically removed. The available settings are Never, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days. You can also set up a specific role to have the ability to delete messages that are older than 24 hours.

Do Discord messages disappear?

Yes, Discord messages can disappear. By default, Discord keeps a record of all direct messages and group messages in your server, as well as all voice chat conversations. However, if you’re in a private channel, the messages will only be visible to the members in the channel.

If you delete a message, it is removed from all servers and all members in the channel will no longer be able to see the deleted message. Additionally, Discord also has a feature that allows users to delete their own messages after sending them.

This feature is called Message Retention, and it allows users to control the lifetime of their messages by setting a delete timer or deleting the message immediately.

Why can’t I see some messages on Discord?

There are several potential reasons why you may not be able to see some messages on Discord. Some of the most common reasons are:

1. You have been blocked by the user: If the user has blocked you, then you won’t be able to see their messages. If you suspect that you have been blocked, you can try contacting the user directly and ask them if this is the case.

2. The user has deleted their messages: If the user has deleted their messages, there will be no content for you to view.

3. Your Discord server settings: Discord servers can have different settings which affect who can see which messages. Make sure to check the server settings to ensure that you have the correct permissions to view the messages in question.

4. You have been muted or de-activated: If you have been muted by the server administrator, or your account has been de-activated, then you will not be able to see the messages in the server. However, this is usually only temporary and can be reversed.

If none of these solutions apply, then you may need to contact the Discord support team for further help.

How do I view Discord chat history?

You can view your Discord chat history by going to User Settings > Appearance and then enabling the “Developer mode” option. From there, you can right-click any user in any channel to select “Copy ID”.

Assuming you have the necessary permissions, you can then type something like “\history @[username] [# of messages]”” into any text channel and the chat history of that user in that channel will be displayed.

You can also search your entire server’s chat history by typing in keywords into the search bar.

How long do chats stay in Discord?

By default, messages sent in Discord text channels are stored forever. There are controls that moderators can customize and in some channels, messages can have an expiration time. For example, some channels may be set for messages to expire after 24 hours.

If moderators turn on Expire Messages, conversations will be archived until the set expiration time. Additionally, moderators can delete messages manually from any channel at any time.

Are Discord chats monitored?

It depends on the type of Discord chat you are referring to. Discord is a popular platform to facilitate communication and information exchange, whether on a private server or in one of the many public communities.

If you are participating in a public Discord chat, it may occasionally be monitored by moderators to ensure discussions are appropriate and staff are available if needed. Private servers, however, are typically monitored by server owners and other designated moderators.

Depending on the topics of conversation and rules established by the server owner, they may set specific expectations for how chats are monitored. Additionally, because some private servers are used for professional purposes, there may be recognition software employed to automatically detect certain words or behaviors that may not be inline with server guidelines.

Ultimately, the level of monitoring is depend on the type of chat, who is participating, and any predetermined expectations or guidelines.

When you delete Discord message does it delete for everyone?

No, when you delete a Discord message, it does not delete for everyone. The Discord app, which is a popular messaging and communication platform, gives users the ability to delete messages they have sent.

However, the message will still appear to members of the Discord server, unless it is deleted by the server administrator. If you want to delete a message for everyone, you need to ask the server administrator to delete it, or you need to delete it from each individual member’s device.

Additionally, if a message is deleted by the server administrator, it cannot be recovered. Therefore, it is important to be mindful about the messages you send on Discord, as once they are deleted, they cannot be recovered.

Where are Discord DMS stored?

Discord DMs (direct messages) are stored locally on a user’s device. This means that the messages and files sent in a DM are not stored on Discord’s servers, or backed up elsewhere. This means that Discord DMs are not retrievable or recoverable, so if messages are deleted or a user loses access to a device, all the data and files sent in a DM will be lost.

However, if a user is part of a server, the server admins can use audit logs to view a record of the messages that were sent in a DM. This audit log is not a full record of the messages and files sent, but it can be used to view the timestamp of when messages were sent, who sent them, and what type of action was completed (edited, deleted, etc. ).

How do I permanently delete Discord DMs?

Permanently deleting a Discord DM is ultimately a completely irreversible process. First you must find and open the conversation that you want to delete. You will then see a little vertical ellipsis (three dots) on the top right.

Click the ellipsis and then press the “Delete Message” option. This will only delete the message from your view, not from the other person’s view. To delete the message from their view, press the “Delete for Everyone” option.

The “Delete for Everyone” will permanently delete the message from both parties’ view, and it can’t be undone. Be sure to check that you have the correct conversation selected before you delete the message, as once it is deleted it can’t be recovered.

Who is deleted user 0000?

Deleted user 0000 is an anonymous user on a number of internet forums and websites. This user is most commonly found on discussion boards, such as Reddit, 4chan, and similar sites. On some websites, user 0000 will be an “anonymous” poster, meaning they don’t enter any name or identifying information.

On a few sites, such as Reddit, the user 0000 is a “deleted” user which means their account has been either been removed or has been banned from the site. As user 0000 does not provide any identifying information it is impossible to know who the user is, or if the user is just trolling on the forums.

Can Discord employees see deleted messages?

No, Discord employees are unable to see deleted messages. While Discord does have the ability to view chat logs for investigations into terms of service violations, this cannot be used to access deleted messages.

When a message is deleted, it is permanently removed from the server. Discord may be able to retrieve information from a deleted message, such as sender and timestamp, but the content of the message is inaccessible.

Because of this, Discord employees are unable to view deleted messages, regardless of the reason why the message was deleted. To ensure that communications stay secure, Discord recommends that all users take responsibility for their activity on the platform and are mindful of the items they post.
