As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to manage my developer forum DMs because of spammers, scammers, you name all the reason. This happens to me a bit, and sometimes I even get troll messages.
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum because it would help me make my developer forum inbox much cleaner.
If you want to disable them globally (except forum staff), then just disable the Allow other users to send me personal messages setting in your preferences. If you want to do it per user, then just mute/ignore them:
Closest we have to it, but not an actual feature.
That effectively “Block[s] Users from Messaging you on Forum” though. The latter option also hides their messages, collapsing them in a manner similar to Discord. Although, spamming is against the rules, so if someone is breaking the rules in DM, just flag the DM and moderators will be able to investigate.
But that way you will block everyone’s messages
Not if you ignore users individually. Ignoring is actually better than blocking, because the other party won’t be aware that they’re blocked.
Compare it with Discord. Once they know they’re blocked, they’ll try to bypass it with ALTs & etc. If you choose to mute them instead, they will eventually give up most of the time.
I think you confused OP because the screenshot isn’t in English.
@Aeplexi the features that @sjr04 listed do exactly what you want: if you ignore a person, they are unable to DM or otherwise notify you.
That feature is not even available for me.
You should support this feature request then:
Although since that topic was made, a min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore setting has been introduced, so it’s just a matter of an admin changing the value to something lower, as mentioned in that topic this was previously hard coded to TL2+
Thanks for making this post and thanks @uep for mentioning that setting. I’ve gone ahead and set it to a lower trust level.
Can you try if you can ignore users now?
Works for me.
