How to delete unsolicited DMs on Chaturbate

[rockin_rod]

Hey all, maybe it's right in front of me and I'm just not seeing it, but.......
How do you delete DMs in your inbox on Chaturbate?
TIA

I think the only way is to put the person on ignore. If you don't want anyone to DM you at all, password your "room."

Yeah, I haven’t seen a way to just delete old messages, unfortunately.

Kinda silly that they just don't have a "delete message" option.

If you 'Ignore this user' it deletes the messages

Something to consider:

If you are not a broadcaster, if you are not an app developer, or a profile designer -- there is literally no reason to have a public profile on CB. Your age and location are irrelevant and any pics you want to send can now be sent in PM. Go ahead and lock that up and maybe the proliferation of DMs will subside and become a waste of time for these broadcasters who try to target rooms for poaching.

I do have my room password protected. All of these messages were sent to me by complete unknowns, other broadcasters who were in the same model's room where I was actively tipping. I've never visited their room(s), nor ever DM'd or tipped them.

That's what I had been doing previously, but a recent thread here (about the DM inbox showing a number of unread messages but some don't appear when you open the DM window) reminded me that I'd prefer to just delete the messages completely.

Okay let me try something...I'll brb with an edit

Oh wow okay I see where it is now. You can right click on someone's name and send a DM. I just sent a grey name I have a DM. All restrictions bypassed.

Same thing happens to me. I just left a CB model’s room. I was there for about 40 minutes, and I got DMs from 4 random models in that time (beginning roughly when I started tipping).

In each case, they were not in the room anymore by the time I saw the DM message. I guess they’re accustomed to having to be fast, in order to evade bans from the models they are trying to poach business from.

You can send DM to a password room.
If you don't want DM's (and you're not a broadcaster) then ban all regions.
You can also ban genders but you always have to keep one gender.
You can not remove DM's but as soon as you ban their region or gender they will be invisible

you can also ban or ignore them but a user normally got no access to these functions.

Having to ban all regions and all but one gender seems like a problematic workaround to a simple issue of not being able to delete any DM, and also seems to ignore the issue of inbox size growing (especially if most are unwanted and unread). I bet models get crazy amounts of unwanted DMs since that feature was added, but may not want to have to ban a member just to get rid of their messages.

As well as being able to select and delete any DM at the recipient's end, I'd really like to see a simple checkbox or dropdown addition to the settings & privacy tab to allow this:

DM Permissions - allow the following users to send you a DM:

• None
• Followed members
• All
