I accidently pinned my own message. I managed to unpin it, but it still remained as starred.
When I try to unstar the message I get a message saying that I can not star my own message, and the message remains starred.
So there are two issues here:
Here is a screenshot:
FWIW, I am the room owner.
The solution here, since you're a mod (and a room owner, but that's not necessary since you're a mod) is to clear the stars entirely. You do that on the pane you have open in the right column, the link that says "cancel stars".
If yours is the only star, this is the simple solution. If someone else also starred the message, then you may not want to use this since it will also remove theirs... but if someone else starred it, your star isn't doing much harm.
And, since the only people who can get into this situation are mods or ROs, the solution will work for everyone who needs to unstar their own chat message.
