Description

Dear all, I have an issue with "pinned messages". When I post an important message to the team, I want to pin it in the chat. The result is, that the same message gets copied with a black stripe again with the above note "A message has been pinned"

This copied notification cannot be deleted (eventhough I am Admin) anymore and can also be seen by all users. Even when I "unpin" the message, it stays. In the setup there is a section for disabling notification upon chances in the chat (i.e. user added), but no option to disable the notification upon pinning a message. Anything I can do?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce pinning and unpinning a message in Rocket.Chat, then trace how the pinned-message notification is created and persisted; confirm the expected behavior for deleting it, removing it after unpinning, and disabling such notifications before marking the issue done.
