I don’t know exactly what this means, but I’m happy with how they work right now. Personally (this is not just limited to Roblox), I much rather prefer an open category where staff and members can share feedback, approval, or status, rather than a survey or form built in to the application (much like email support). Then at that point it’s forwarded somewhere and you have no idea what’s happening to it, or you just get a canned response in your emails. That also locks the community away from your potential idea which is a little less than ideal.
In that case, it also creates unneeded noise for everybody (10 people could want feature A, instead of going to one thread and liking it or replying with a testimonial, they all go and file one separately).
Once again this could totally all be wrong, I just interpreted “in a different form” like like when you see “Was this helpful?” on a site and can click yes or no and provide feedback there, which is likely shared internally or in an aggregated graph.
Yes we are totally onboard with the discussion and open aspects of “feature requests” today and we will likely retain that in the current approach or whatever alternate approach we decide upon.
Will #feature-requests be available to Members by mid-2026?
I have a really good feature request related to Robux that I will post when #feature-requests is open to members, or when I get Regular (which I never will).
Also, can you answer this question?
Question
Is there a set year for when #feature-requests becomes pubiic to Members?. If so, when?
Edit: I just realized that #bug-reports is still closed.
OP is now Regular so gets the ability to post in a feature requests.
And now he tells all other members who cannot post to a feature request to not “bloat” topics and to “wait”?
How selfish could one be?
I am not being selfish, I’m just not as immature as when I wrote this thread (this is back when I called people who flagged me “linkedinners”, you can see the clear change just by scrolling up when i started arguments with other people because they didnt support this). I did not expect it to get this level of traction when I wrote it either. Since then, #forum-help:forum-features has been flooded with these threads and this topic has far derailed from what I wanted 2 years ago when I would have been 14. I added that as a warning that I no longer stand by the original topic or anything I might have said in the replies.
What I said is true though, they are working on it. They opened bug reports soon and Hooksmith has confirmed something for features is in the works too. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you to send it to customer support, the best thing you can do at the moment is wait until that update comes out.
I think you already know how bad Roblox support already is and I highly doubt support staff has any contact with engineers.
(although then again, I haven’t really dealt with it since the false 1 day ban and they took 5 days to respond to my emails regarding that iirc)
If you know a regular and desperately want to post a feature request, just DM a regular and see whether they post it. Don’t harass them and don’t start messaging tons of regulars. Fully in the rules somehow and I’d recommend doing that if you have any contact with a regular.
The opening of the #feature-requests category is now very important for people to solve certain urgent issues. I was directed here after my thread was closed.
How can the current situation be alleviated?
At the very least, we need to resume accepting people into the group with access to the feature-request, acceptingonly those who have written a reason for their entry, which will be moderated by people - yes, we will have to find people to do this.
Why leave this operation?
This will allow newcomers to avoidspamming this category, and those who are interested will learn how to do it and try to do it. And it will still givepeople an understanding that they are in that category, and that misspelling of where canget them banned.
Indeed, now we need to solve the problem ofopening this category, which is a small part of people. And most of all, we need to clean up the members of that group.
There are real problems, and activeplayerscannotpresent them, simply because “it’s not in the right category”.
Emailing roblox support for feature requests doesn’t seem to work, as doing so only gets you told that the feature doesn’t exist, as if that’s not the entire reason you’re emailing them in the first place.
In the bug reporting update, they said they would accept people on a monthly basis. Does anyone know when in the month that this happens? I’ve been waiting on my request to join the group for nearly a month.
We’re allowing requests, just not accepting them at the moment. Please do send requests so we can gauge how many people need to have access, it helps with prioritizing work.
We’re not yet through the initial backlog. We’re accepting a couple hundred people every week based on first-come-first-served basis until we get through the backlog first.
The monthly basis thing will kick in after we get through the backlog.
