However I’m yet to be promoted to a ‘regular’; this is proving tedious as I’m restricted in where I can post, leaving me unable to engage or provide feature suggetions and so forth.
Is there an adequate time-frame to become a ‘regular’ as having been on DevForum 6 months with daily engagement and so forth I’m not considered a regular?
In order to be a regular, you must be active, creating posts, and replying. You also must’ve been through the PA a few times, however, the PA was removed so it’s on hold. Please read this for more info: How to level up on the Roblox Developer Forum
Post Approval ¶ is on hold until Roblox finds a new approval system. Members cannot post in #platform-feedback, #platform-feedback:engine-bugs, #platform-feedback:engine-features, #platform-feedback:website-bugs, and #platform-feedback:website-features. A while back, members were able to post there, but their post had to be “Approved” by a moderator before it was actually posted to the public. Sadly, there are not enough Mods and there was too many posts going in. They shut down the entire thing temporarily (I hope) and now only Regulars and above are allowed to post in those channels. Also, this means that there are no Mods to review Members and make them a Regular, which also means that no Regulars are being made now. I hope they have a solution soon.
Post Approval, it was a previous system where posts was sent via a volunteered post approval to approve your post for a category where you normally couldnt post. This has since been discontinued.
That doesn’t get your regular. Most people I’ve seen who said they got regular while PA was up had about my number of likes and read time, but they’ve been on for 2+ years.
