- patrickserrano 4y agoI know it should probably be on the org itself to inform new users that those settings are being used, but I wish that Slack would do a better job of letting users know too. It's a weird experience noticing a typo in a message and not having the option to edit without any feedback as too _why_.
- withinboredom 4y agoDoesn't stop the email with the original message though (you can get emails of messages). I once saw a coworker cussing out someone while the coworker was asleep. By the time we all woke up, the message had been edited into something nice and cordial. But knowing how much they were actually frustrated was a hint (at least to me) that I needed to take the cordial response seriously. Being able to see the original message someone shot off in anger and then revised into something nice is really handy as a manager. Especially if the entire team is remote and you can't tell things by body language.
