If they're totally anonymous, then that's why credit cards have a payment dispute process. Unfortunately, cryptocurrencies generally don't.

or search their names on the web

The same way you'd find the organizers of any other event, really...look for contact information on the event page.

Probably contact the organizers?

really the problem is that you can't take the necessary actions after deleting. at least with the default UI. I think you can with userscripts, though (another reason it's helpful to get a moderator with chat moderation experience).

(so if you don't want to delete the message, you can edit out the sensitive information, then purge history)

It clears history, not the current state of the message

I'm always a little pleased when I figure something out in a clue that Jafe hasn't spotted yet, if only because it is normally Jafe quickly spotting things I wouldn't have spotted at all :-p

(to be clear since chat makes it confusing, I'm not a Puzzling mod or room owner, so my word on game rules is not at all policy)

uhhh. I mean, I could edit it out of your message for you and hope no one saw... :-p

indeed!

I was not! but maybe it primed me ^^;

CCCC: Unfinished piece of furniture serving tea (4)

@verbose CANDID (frank) ATE (took in)

I knew that sounded familiar for some reason...

also I was spacing on "Frank Sinatra" and only coming up with "Fred Astaire"

I should eat something...

ahhhh

what's the solution? (there's no 9-letter word there - I assume a typo, but I don't know what it should be)

Here, "pal-er" meaning "someone who makes friends"

ah, meaning something that would, in a traditional crossword, require a question mark?

@juicifer what is a "cdef"? My searches are failing me.

I came up with it the other day after yet another MAYO LAKE clue, and I've just been waiting to get one right so I could use it :-p

well, Stewart is a river, but that's the gist, yeah.

naturally :)

:D

CCCC: Stewart, Janet, and Williamson's neighbor in Yukon has condiment leak, strangely (4, 4)

lmao

@oAlt I(ntegrity) in ROT (decay) is RIOT

Cryptic cluing question: must the question mark be adjacent to the portion of the clue that is being used in an indirect/unusual/unexpected/questionable way?

@VLAZ previously deleted, just never reported to MS, and I happened across it for unrelated reasons

@Martheen and I have absolutely no idea if that one's spam or just total junk, so I'll just delete it.

@TwineeeThePickleWizard it is, yes. You can use a site like regex101.com to break it down and explain what each part does.
