So yea. Whenever you can, please.

If you don't receive any more notifications, isn't that kind of like a ignore system? If so, assuming the other participant is starting a new convo would that one be ignored as well? I think the easiest way to delete pms would be to simply have the option of deleting an entire conversation with a partner so you only have active conversations in your folder. That would keep things very neat and tidy, imo.

Yeah, I was thinking about how that would work since this system is a little smarter than just a dumb inbox/outbox.Perhaps when you "delete" a conversation, your name is crossed off the participants list of that convo. The other participants can resume talking, but you won't receive any sort of notification.

Ah, well I wasn't thinking about a convo with more than one partner. But hmm, I'm assuming people would only delete a private convo once the topic is closed, to make space in their inbox folder. However, if there are 3 people in a convo and one of them leaves, while the others still use that convo, and deletes it maybe he still receives any new messages until he hits a separate 'Ignore' button? Likewise, we would also have the option to simply ignore a convo without actually deleting it in case there has been content up to that point that someone may actually want to keep?

Seems like you'd need a system to regularly delete conversations with no participants (all sides have deleted themselves). Maybe on the last participant deleting?

Put another way, when you send a message or post in a roleplay, you know the other participants received it. Nobody gets to ignore it. No plausible deniability at RPGuild because we're serious business.
Nujaby said Looking at the other side of the coin though, what if someone keeps on spamming your inbox, knowing fully well you received all their messages? In that case the option of ignoring somebody may be quite useful.
