In order to clean up my PM's for a game, I deleted several but now I'm trying to find one of the old characters who submitted a RTJ to remember who he played.

Is there a way to pull back deleted game PM's?

If you deleted and didn't purge then if the other person PMs you again the whole chain is restored.

So, they can only be brought back if the person replies to the PM?  No way for me to pull them back?

I trim down my PMs in my space game, its  super active... If I cau   a plyer or they quit.. I just white  everything, the charcter  is  gone , one way or the other..

 If  I have PMs   for an active player  , i'll give them a week  to take out  what they want.

I, for one, don't like having my PM list littered with a bunch of threads titled "Request for Access" or whatever it automatically uses for RTJs. Once I've gotten someone active in a game I run, I ask them to send me a new PM with a better title, then delete the RTJ thread.

This way, if I want to PM someone, I can just scan the "From" column and find their PC name.

In reply to Shannara (msg # 4):

Roger, thanks.

LonePaladin, I'm the same.
However someone re-applied for one of my games again and I'm trying to remember which character they played before so I can gauge if they are worth letting back in.  ;)  Without that original RTJ, I don't remember the character they played or why they stopped playing.  ;)

Cheers, thanks for the responses.
