Ability to remove specific items of clan chat

Surprised this hasn't come up before but I can't find it in the stickies.

We all rely on allowing strangers to join the clan if we want it to grow, but if they just join and dump a load of offensive\abusive comments in clan chat and then leave, it would be nice if the leaders could remove those comments.

Might not be a big deal for some, and it's not for me if I'm honest, but we have younger children in our clan and it can get a bit much sometimes.

I know SC needs to store all messages for legal reasons, but they don't need to be displayed in clan chat if the leader deems them offensive.

This and similar ideas have been suggested before. Allowing past to chat to be editted is in fact no small task. Just because SC saves all chat, doesn't mean the viewable version can be automatically altered in some way. The two tasks - storage and edit - are unrelated.

In our case, until recently we only recruited through a feeder/training/filter clan to avoid this and weed out the trash. Anytime your kid members enter global, they will be exposed to this nonsense anyway, probably in various languages.

Edit. I just checked IFR stickies. This is currently ruled out. That doesn't mean SC is not interested, it simply means they see no reason for input/discussion at this point.

For a time this was a big problem. It took a while to lose the bad kids.

so SC doesn't want to implement this? Every time it happens, screen shot it and report it in-game to Help & Support
