 #### What if their moderation team is terrible?
 A lot of people have voiced concerns regarding Mojang possibly outsourcing message moderation and thus having a poor quality of report processing. While it is a somewhat reasonable fear, this is still based on extremely high amounts of speculation. Looking at the facts, Microsoft already has a well working chat moderation at xbox live, where no such drama of false bans or being banned because you spoke out negatively about Microsoft has occurred - the rules regarding Minecraft chat are also a lot more lenient compared to that.

+With signed messages, Mojang *finally* introduced a packet servers can use to retroactively remove already sent out messages. So if you want to clear chat or remove individual messages without having to spam empty messages that only move up the previous messages, you can properly remove them now using the `ClientboundDeleteChatPacket` packet - the only requirement for this is that the message to be removed is a properly signed player message.
+
+With message signature now depending on previous messages' signatures as well, you obviously cannot omit any message signatures of online players without breaking the chain. In order to keep a valid chain of signatures, players that shouldn't receive the contents of a signed player message, the server instead sends out the signature data only. This means a player will know that a certain other player sent *some* message via a chat message or signed command argument, but they won't know what the message was or who received it.

 ### Profile keys
 When joining a server, clients now send an extra profile key used for verifying a message's authenticity. This key and thus the whole signing process is optional, but by default, servers enforce secure profiles. Whenever the player sends a chat message and has joined with a key, the message will be signed using their own private key, which the server then verifies using the public key sent on join. Assuming signature, timestamp, and message contents line up, the message goes through.

 ### Modifying chat messages through chat previews
 Since servers often want to modify chat messages with custom formatting, prefixes, and suffixes before broadcasting a message, you can modify the final message to your heart's content as long as the client agrees to it. Servers can send a chat preview while the player is currently typing their message, making them sign that formatted preview instead of the original plain text.

+Every signed message's signature include the sender's UUID matching the profile key's identity, a timestamp (though that cannot be verified with untrusted clients/servers), the signed message, and a random [salt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)).

+Since 1.19.1-pre4, a message's signature also includes the *previous* message's signature of that same player. This means that, with at least one message of a player provided, you can be sure that messages before that were sent in correct order and no message of that player was omitted in a report.
