Automatically delete old posts regularly

[svivian]

Nothing is deleted yet.

I would rather provide a chat history page that can be searched. Why to throw content away that might be helpful for others to a certain extend?

I see your point, but in my experience the chat table quickly fills up with too many useless/frivolous posts. However, if I implemented this is would likely be an option or something semi-manual (e.g. click a button to delete everything older than a week).

@svivian What I actually thought of today is an option for admin to "edit" or "delete" a post.

Scenario: I wrote something in chat and wanted to change it later on. It was pain to go to phpmyadmin each time...

As in my chat, mathematics is discussed to a certain extend (just a few but anyways), I do not like to delete those messages. Instead I have set up a chat history page. Do you like to implement it / get the code?
