First Claim
1. A method for collaborative modification of instant messaging session transcripts in an instant messaging session, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of original instant messages into said instant messaging session from a plurality of participants in said instant messaging session;
storing said original instant messages into an uncorrected session transcript;
receiving, from a first one of said participants, a proposed modification to one of said original instant messages;
storing said proposed modification in a modified session transcript separate from said uncorrected session transcript;
transmitting, to all of said participants other than said first one of said participants, in response to said receiving of said proposed modification from said first one of said participants, a modification approval request message;
storing said modification approval request message in said modified session transcript;
receiving approve modification and reject modification responses from said participants other than said first one of said participants;

Abstract
A system for providing collaborative moderation and correction of instant messaging session transcripts in an instant messaging session that includes an improved instant messaging client user interface that allows collaborative editing and moderation of an instant messaging session transcript in order to correct for errors. An instant messaging client operates to seek approval of changes to the session transcript during the session, and stores transcript changes such that the modifications are conveniently viewable by all session participants. The instant messaging client can be configured to automatically accept requests to modify the session transcript. Alternatively, the instant messaging client can be configured to explicitly notify and seek approval from all other participants when a participant attempts to make a modification to the session history. The time of each modification, and the identity of the participant making each modification, are stored within the session history.
