Is there a way to auto-clear a characters pages and mail when they are put on the roster? Or is that something staff would have to do manually? We’re just looking to preserve the privacy of players if/when a character is dropped or abandoned. Thanks.

It should do that automatically. If it doesn’t seem to be working, you can check your logs for errors - could be something going awry.
Hmmm. I’ll do that. We got an alert from a player that it wasn’t happening so I tested it on my test server and it did not clear the pages when I rostered a character. I’ll check the logs though.
I didn’t see anything in the logs. I see where I unapproved the bit, I see where I rostered him, and I see where it was claimed. No errors show up any where along that path.
It triggers the idle cleanup when you do a roster add, so you should see a whole slew of log messages:
I just tested it and it seems to be working. Did you use the roster/add command or something else?

Ahh. I was not using the command via the MU interface, I was adding them through the Edit function on the web by clicking on the Roster/Add To Roster tab. When I use the command via the MU interface it seems to be working fine.
Oh, that’s probably a bug then. It should do the same thing from the web too. Thx.
Ah good to know. Thanks!
