Have you ever used LINE’s open chat? There are different ways to withdraw from open chat depending on the pattern of managers and general participants. This time, we will explain everything by pattern. I will also tell you about the method of forced withdrawal and re-participation that you are interested in.
Big headline: How to withdraw from LINE’s open chat
LINE’s open chat is a group chat that you can participate in anonymously even if you are not registered as a friend. The basic operability is the same as LINE group chat, but the withdrawal method differs depending on the pattern. Let’s explain how to unsubscribe from LINE’s open chat by dividing it into patterns.
Pattern 1 Regular participants
First, let’s talk about how to unsubscribe while participating in LINE Open Chat as a regular participant. There are two ways to unsubscribe, so I will explain one by one.
The first is when you leave the talk room. A talk room is a screen where a normal talk is flowing. There is a button that displays a three-line menu at the top right of the screen, so tap that. When you move to the menu screen, there is a place where “Withdrawal” is displayed, so let’s tap it. A confirmation screen will be displayed at the end.
The second method is to unsubscribe from the open chat settings. First, display the menu with three lines on the upper right of the talk room. Tap “Other” in the menu. When you move to the “Open Chat Settings” screen, there is a button that says “Withdraw from Open Chat”. After tapping and confirming, you have successfully unsubscribed from LINE Open Chat.
Pattern (2) Co-administrator
A “co-administrator” is a participant who, unlike a regular participant, is given some authority by the “administrator” described later. Co-administrators can be created by the administrator’s settings. Up to 100 people can be set in one open chat.
How can I unsubscribe from Open Chat if I am set as a co-administrator? In fact, even if you are a co-administrator, the withdrawal method is the same as a normal participant. You can unsubscribe by selecting “Unsubscribe” from the open chat menu or by pressing “Unsubscribe from open chat” in “Open chat settings”.
Pattern ③ Administrator
An “administrator” is an authorized participant in a LINE Open Chat group. The administrator can set various settings such as the name, icon, capacity, and public range of the chat room. You cannot withdraw from LINE Open Chat as an administrator, so you need to follow some steps.
In order for an administrator to leave, the privileges must be transferred to another participant. First, there is a button that displays a three-line menu at the top right of the talk room screen, so tap that. When you move to the menu screen, press “Others” to move to “Open chat settings”. Press “Member Management” and set other participants as co-participants from “Set co-administrators”.
Next, when you return to “Member Management”, there is “Transfer Administrator Rights”, so select one of the co-administrators and set it as an administrator. Then, the participant who was originally an administrator becomes a co-administrator. After that, you can withdraw from LINE’s open chat in the same way as how to withdraw as a co-administrator.
Forcibly withdrawing participants from LINE open chat
You can participate in LINE open chat anonymously, but there is a possibility that trouble will occur even in that. If there are participants who do not follow the rules and manners, there is one option of “forced withdrawal”. Here we will look at how to force a withdrawal.
About forced withdrawal (1) Persons who can forcibly withdraw
Not all participants can force leave. Force withdrawal cannot be performed by a normal participant, and can be performed by an administrator or a co-administrator who has been authorized to withdraw.
In addition, it is decided that only regular participants can be forced to withdraw. If you want to forcibly withdraw an administrator or co-administrator, cancel the setting and change them to regular participants.
Forced Withdrawal ② How to Forced Withdrawal
I will also explain how to force a withdrawal. First, let an administrator who can forcibly unsubscribe or a co-administrator who has the authority to open the LINE Open Chat talk room. There is a button that displays a three-line menu at the top right of the talk room screen, so tap that. Press the “Member” button and select the participant you want to force withdraw.
Since the button “forced withdrawal” comes out, select forced withdrawal. After tapping and confirming, you can forcibly remove the participant from LINE Open Chat.
About forced withdrawal ③ Forced withdrawal due to the number of NG words
In LINE Open Chat, you can also forcefully withdraw from the NG word. NG words can be set by an administrator or an authorized co-administrator. To set up, go to the menu screen from the talk room and tap “Bot”. Turn on “Spam Filter” and select “Delete only messages that exactly match NG words” or “Delete messages that contain NG words”.
Once you have decided on the type of NG word, select “Register NG word”. You can set it by entering the desired NG word. NG words can be added later to make it two or more. You can also remove it at any time.
To forcibly withdraw a participant who has said NG words more than a certain number of times, go to the open chat menu from the chat room. Select “Bot” and tap “Spam Filter”. When you press “History”, the message “~~ used the NG word X times.”
Will it be revealed if I withdraw from LINE open chat?
If I withdraw from the LINE open chat, will other participants find out that I withdrew? We will see if there are two patterns, when you withdraw yourself and when you are forced to withdraw.
Pattern 1: Withdrawal
If you voluntarily unsubscribe from open chat, you will know whether or not you will be exposed in the settings of that open chat. If “Member leaves” is turned on in “Manage system messages” that can be set by the administrator, the fact that the member has left will be displayed in the chat room when the member leaves.
To change the settings, the administrator opens the menu from the chat room. Go to “Other” and select “System Messages” until you reach “Manage System Messages”. Since there is an item “Member leaves”, if you turn it on, it will be displayed when you leave, and if you turn it off, it will not be displayed.
If it is not displayed, it seems that it will not be found basically, but it may be found out depending on the number of open chats. Even if the message is not displayed, if the number of participants in the open chat is small, it may be exposed due to the decrease in the number of participants.
Pattern 2: Forced withdrawal
If I am forced to withdraw from the open chat, will it be displayed in the chat room? This can also be changed by the administrator setting whether to display or not.
To change the settings, the administrator opens the menu from the chat room. Go to “Other” and select “System Messages” until you reach “Manage System Messages”. There is an item “Member forced withdrawal”, so if you turn it on, it will be displayed at the time of forced withdrawal, and if you turn it off, it will not be displayed.
Rejoin LINE open chat
Is it possible to rejoin after leaving LINE open chat? Is it possible to rejoin after being forced to withdraw? I will introduce about re-participating and whether you can see the history of past talks after re-participating.
Re-participation ①Can I re-participate?
From the conclusion, it is possible to rejoin after leaving. Even after leaving, you can rejoin without any restrictions. Only if you resign yourself.
If you are forced to withdraw, the participant will be put on the “re-entry prohibition list”. If your name is on this list, you will not be able to rejoin the same open chat. However, if an admin or an authorized co-admin unsets it, rejoining will be possible.
To remove the rejoin ban, an admin or an authorized co-admin opens the menu from the room. When you move to the menu screen, press “Others” to go to “Open chat settings”. Press “Member Management” and select the past participant you want to remove from the “Rejoin Prohibited List”. By pressing “Allow”, the participant can rejoin the open chat.
About re-participation ② What happens to past talk history?
What happens to the past chat history after rejoining the LINE open chat? In fact, in the case of open chat, you can see all the chat history so far by rejoining. This is a function that is only available in open chats, as the past history will be deleted in group LINE.
Regarding re-participation ③ What happens to past note history?
What happens to past note history when rejoining LINE open chat? It is possible to check the history of past notes at any time after rejoining. This is the same as the function of group LINE.
About re-participation ④ Can I change my profile name?
LINE’s open chat is anonymous, but if you rejoin with the same profile name after withdrawing, you will know that you have participated in the past. If you don’t want people to know that you’ve rejoined, you can change your profile name when you rejoin.
How to delete LINE open chat?
So far, we have seen how to unsubscribe from LINE open chat, but there is also a way to delete LINE open chat itself. Of course, only administrators can delete them. If you delete it, all past history will also be deleted, so please be careful.
To delete, the administrator opens the menu from the chat room. When you move to the menu screen, press “Others” to go to “Open chat settings”. You can delete the LINE open chat by tapping “Delete open chat” and confirming it.
summary
So far, we have introduced how to unsubscribe from LINE Open Chat. The method of withdrawing from LINE Open Chat differs depending on whether you are a normal participant/co-administrator or an administrator. If you are an administrator, you can only withdraw after setting the administrator to someone else.
In addition, it is possible to forcibly withdraw from the participants who do not follow the rules and manners. Please note that you can not rejoin unless you remove yourself from the “rejoin prohibition list” after forced withdrawal. After rejoining, you can see all past talks and notes history. Please note that if you delete the LINE Open Chat itself, you will not be able to see the past history.
