Hi, that setting is no longer functional, basically the checking
that was previously implemented was both incredibly expensive in
processing and ineffective. So we removed it.
Probably it should be implemented for local posts which may be what
you wanted, if so let me know and we'll add it to the todo list.
But it's impossible to 'really' enforce that concept with cancels due to
the way they are defined so the best it can do is
prevent accidental abuse locally, which seems a bit pointless.
If you really have a problem with rogue cancellations by local users
of local messages, then let us know and if you are using authentication
of some kind we could add a mechanism that would do what you want.
