Why can't posts strings be hidden/archived within team channels just like email strings can be archived? Am I missing something? It seems my only alternatives with channel posts are deleting them or leaving them in the channel to clutter up my posting area.
I found the channel posting areas useful for discussing issues with the full team but the lack of an archiving/hiding feature for posts renders it virtually useless...only helpful for announcements but not discussions. I'm not going to have important conversations within the posting area only to have them deleted. I often need to return to conversations in the future.
The only alternative is to set up group discussions with the chat feature, which allows hiding. But why, then, does posting (which is essentially chatting) exist within the channel area in the first place? How can it be useful if my only choices in handling old (but important) posts are deleting them or retaining such that it clutters the post area?
