Cleaning Up Visitor Messaging?
 

How can I permanently "hard" delete messages on my visitor page? I'm up to 19 pages or something, I'd like to clean it up, but whenever I select messages for deletion, it only gives me "'Soft' delete - Leave "Deleted" Message" as an option... which means I still have 19 pages of crap.

Is there anything I can do short of just disabling Visitor Messaging? Please advise...

Not really sure why it's an issue, but I'm guessing we as users can't "hard" delete because the admin never gave our user group permission to do that.

Some visitor messages I can't even open, it says that we don't have permission to view them. I can't even thank a visitor message because I don't have the rights to reply to a comment on my own profile??
