Haï~
The functionality of the "Clear all messages" button is confusing.
  • It's a red button. Red buttons are associated with dangerous actions on the website (Unpublish, Delete world, Delete account), but clicking this button subverts expectation as there is no confirmation dialog
  • Clicking the button doesn't just remove all "messages" from the website, it removes all received friend requests themselves causing "Friend Requests" list from the "Social" tab in-game to effectively disappear as it is emptied. It is unclear that "Friend Request" in the social tab is actually considered being equivalent to a message. For example, if you receive a notification on Android for a new mail, clearing the notification does not mean archiving the mail in the app nor marking it as read; there is a distinction between a notification of a mail and the mail itself, which is not the case here.
  • The message counter on the website maxes out at 100, but clicking the button will remove all friend requests, which can go in the thousands.
  • Clicking doesn't put the friend requests into the "Ignored friend requests" list, which is yet another unclear behavior that makes it seem like it differs from declining the friend request
