How long is it suppose to take to get accepted

[keyre124]

I’m pretty sure mods don’t work on sundays like none of them.

But the mods were asleep. Also, as soon as you said this I just got flagged again. You better stop cursing me bro,

Q: “This will increase troll topics”

A: Tell me, how often do you see troll topics? Literally like 1 in 1000? Plus, these get taken down quickly if they do exist in like 2 to 5 minutes. The DevForum community is usually very well-behaved.

1. Showing the truth, the Developer Forum community is not THAT usually “very well behaved” as you mention. There are times when there are many troll replies and accounts that suddenly appear and create topics with inappropriate content that are forbidden within the official rules of the Developer Forum and Roblox Community Standards. Here is a sample of these types of behaviors:

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/critical-urgent-please-help-us-now/2970885

Furthermore, @cpguy5089 also provides other types of approved topics that are still within the Developer Forum.

This will significantly increase the value of flagging multiple replies and topics, requiring more forum moderators to administrate.

Q: “So many feature requests/bug reports will be made, staff will not be able to respond to all of them”

A: Devforum staff are very active and handle moderation well, they will definitely be able to atleast read most of the topics. Especially since alot of the topics will be serious and not trolls, as if they’re troll topics they are usually swiftly taken down.

2. Not every Roblox employee is THAT active and does not have accounts within the Developer Forum. Also, if this concept of forum users that have the trust level “Member” can create FRs (“Feature Requests”) and BRs (“Bug Reports”), there will be duplicated topics, things that it would be frustrating for Roblox employees to keep on track whether they responded to a user stating "Hey, this is a duplicate post and we already have one here (mentions with a URL link) and the same hole that I mentioned above.

@Amritss

Q: “Why should they allow this?”

A: Because rank-locking these categories means only a few developers’ voices are heard. The dev community have tons of features they wish could be added but can’t request these. I already have tons of ideas in my mind of what I wish roblox could add to the engine but I can’t say. Also same thing can be said with bug reports, more members are likely to find bugs in the engine/website as oppose to only a handful of regulars.

Q: “Roblox staff have stated they will change the ranking system”

A: To my own research, I know that they are changing the ranking system. But I know you will still definitely be locked behind some sort of rank in order to post feature request/bug reports.

3. Responding to both, yes, a Roblox staff had mentioned that they were working on a new system on how this ranking system would work, but two things are important to be mentioned regarding this: This was addressed due to “forummers” needing to create BRs and FRs, but they couldn’t due to having “Member”. Despite being old information, this never went to practice. Instead, they provided an alternative solution which is somewhat good by creating forum groups called @AllowBugReports and @AllowFeatureRequests. That way, we no longer need to synthesize the vibe where “Regular” is better than “Member”.

All forum users should have a path forward to be able to post in feature requests

Hi folks, I retitled the thread from “Members should be able to post in regular areas, until regular promotions come back” to “All forum users should have a path forward to be able to post in feature requests” after discussing with DarkPixlz in DM. Thanks DarkPixlz for accommodating! In recent history we have solved many concerns mentioned originally on this thread: We have turned on the ability for everyone to reply to #updates:release-notes. For #bug-reports, after spending a lot of time a…

Okay you got me that one I said on purpose because I thought it was funny.
