Re: Unmoderation/soft moderation

Hi,

Please also consider to expose the undo timeframe in disco.

Otherwise i see no big problem, in Gajim the implementation is already that moderation is just a flag on the message. The flag tells the GUI how to draw the message. On server side I would expect you could do the same.

I would assume a tombstone would only be set of the message is out of the undo timeframe.

I would expect that a server can announce with the undo timeframe, if moderation is soft.

Regard
Philipp
