I find this slightly worrying. We use the free tier of slack (which in itself is a bone of contention), one of the big problems being that there's only a 10,000 message history available to users so useful information quite often drops out of view.
That said, Slack have specific admin tools to deal with harassment and bullying. Even on the free tier it's possible to contact them and ask for this history, even if it's been deleted by a user and even if it's past the 10,000 limit. The fact they can't get the chat log strikes me as suspicious.
- Mandatum 6y agoMy guess is they did an edit then delete, or it was deleted more than X months ago. This level of logging is really expensive and likely only enabled on Enterprise tiers.
- BuildTheRobots 6y agoI'm almost certain it's not. In the UK I'd assume there's GDPR requirements that mean they need to keep track of it. I also contacted them a couple of years ago after we had a bullying issue and no history of it; Slack confirmed that they had the history and that they could give it to us, but as it would be PMs, they'd have to inform every member of the workspace when they did.
