I got a PM and now it's driving me potty.

When I went to read it, it had been deleted at the sender's request.

Since they asked for it to go I'm assuming there's no point messaging back asking what they said but it's going to bug me. 🤣

Message saying I'm a total bitch? Declaring undying love? Telling me I talk bollocks? Saying they recognise me in RL?

My aibu - If a poster sends a message then deletes it, mnhq should erase the message completely, not leave a bloody teaser there like a bunch of gits! I did an AS of the username and got no bloody results so can't even try and guess!

I accidentally clicked on PM rather than quote the other day and recalled the message.

It’s probably something like that that’s happened.

Oh no, does that leave a message saying you initially messaged someone??

I'm cackhanded and have done that loads of times. If anyone has a supposedly deleted message from me, my apologies. I've never sent and then recalled a message but I've often hit PM by accident.

It was probably sent in error.

I had a message yesterday saying I sent a DM to someone but MN deleted it at the receiver’s request.

I did not send a DM to anyone!

Yes, it was probably an error. That makes sense.

Yes you get a message that tells you who sent it and that it was removed at their request.

Change your password.

Wise advice.

MNHQ should be able to help you recover it if you contact them. On the basis that if it wasn't stored, I wouldn't like to be the one explaining it to the authorities.
