As a Freegle volunteer, you also have the ability to edit or report messages from your community members. Click on the top right chevron in the particular chat and several options will be displayed.

	~~Explanation~~ of ~~delete/hide facility~~:		There are options to "Refer to OFFER/WANTED", for normal ChitChat posts that would be better posted on the main Freegle page. However, posts where members introduce themselves are tagged differently, and only the Support team have access to the "Refer" options on that class of posts. This restriction was brought in because too many introductory posts mentioning hobbies were being referred unnecessarily.
	*All ~~mods~~ should see the Delete option. Note that it's "Delete" not "Hide".
			Deleted or hiding messages works as follows:
