As a Forum user, it can get tiring in #forum-help:forum-questions having to explain the same duplicate posts as to why Ranking from a Member to a Higher TL is on hold for the time being
I understand that you could literally solve the issue easily by saying that:
“Post Approval has been removed in 2020 and that a replacement for it is slowly but surely being worked on”
And we have alternatives (Messaging @Bug-Support, @DevEngagementTeam), but it just seems like an everyday common thing that repeats the same question and fills the entire category with 50% topics asking close to the same thing, as some people don’t seem to conduct further research why
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum as it would be 1 less common question to worry about when creating a Forum Question & it’d help prevent the further spam of asking common questions like “How do I get Regular?”, or “When will Post Approval come back?”
I dont look in this section very much, but when I do it’s always flooded with those kind of posts. I’m pretty sure they’re coming back soon, but Roblox is known to make empty promises sometimes.
Besides that, I agree with this.
We need this. I have gotten 7 notifications in the past week about this or posting in Regular only categories (#bug-reports and #feature-requests). I have also noticed an increasing number of this kind of topic in the past month or so.
There’s still very regularly users asking how to rank up, as well as users creating bug reports in the wrong categories.
A pinned (and preferably highlighted as bright as possible) post explaining that rank ups are no longer a thing and that bug reports are meant to be sent to @Bug-Support would be a great idea, even though there’s still going to be that ~5-15% who doesn’t read it.
I haven’t checked this website in a while, but I’d assume it still is
It’d really be appreciated if there was a pinned post relevant to this issue wondering why, considering that some new members of the forum rarely even know how to obtain these ranks & as a result, tend to create topics in the wrong/improper categories due to their curiosity getting the better of them rather than conducting the proper research & finding out why you aren’t getting ranked even if you meet the “proper requirements” for a specific rank
Still an issue. I think we should also have pined topics about posting feature requests and bug reports as @cpguy5089 said. And it may help if we edit the topic template to include a link to these in an HTML comment.
I did not explain the actual underlying trust level mechanism here since I believe that is probably not what most people want to know. They just want to know where to go to get their feedback posted, so described this part instead.
Just reading through this and from a reply to me on a thing related to member feature requests, you said @Bug-Support now has power to handle them, but on this post it doesn’t mention it?
