Feature Request: Option to clean up after a match

[nate2014jatc]

Would it be feasible to have the bot remove it's associated messages from the history after a match is completed?
If that is possible and implemented, could The bot post a plaintext summary of the match including the number of opponents, who they were, the number of total turns taken, and the winner?

A game is made up of messages from the bot and from users. It would be useless to delete all the messages generated by the bot if the others remain.
Also, deleteting the messages from users would be quite troublesome.

The bot is essentially invasive (not as a critic) and requires a group made for it. Therefore, it doesn't come in handy a feature like that.

I'm not sure but i think that bot (as an administrator) can have power to delete ALL posts, not only those one sent from itself.

Technically i think also that all messages related to the game can be clearely identified, so that the bot select all those ones directly referred to a move from the game, discarding all the other messages that players wrote in the middle of a match

It is indeed possible, but you have to consider the context. Do you really add @unobot inside a normal group where people normally talk? Do you play in the middle of a conversation? I think not. You create a specific group where to play, therefore it's not useful to delete all the messages when the game ends or when it is running.

Also, the bot would be able to distinguish the "Draw 1 card" and the "Pass" messages, but the others? They'll remain inside the group without context, since all the other messages get removed. Aside from that, cleaning chat history doesn't bring any advantage, since the group would be muted anyway and skipping all the new messages can be done with a single tap on the arrow at the bottom right.
