Change the group member count to round down rather than up

Change the group member count to round down instead of up when having more than 1k members, I think it’s way more logical than rounding up, for an example you have 1,360 people in a group, roblox would round that to 1.4k instead of the logical choice 1.3k because the group didn’t reach 1.4k yet.

This happens at the group members counter on the group details page. For an example: 652, 833, 921 members etc, when you reach a thousand it’d look like “1k” as you get more members it’d rise like so “1.1k” 1.3k" and so on, the problem is that if you have 1058 members it’d show 1.1k instead of 1k as it should, the rounding is wrong because it goes up and makes it look as if you’ve reached a certain number when you didn’t, so if I have 9,952 members it’d show 10k members when my group didn’t actually reach that milestone yet.

Switched it back to just having the style of 6K+ for anything above 6,000 (instead of doing any other kind of rounding).

So if I understand correctly, until 6,000 the number will show fully and anything after that will turn to ks and there will not be any kind of rounding like there is now? If so I think you should start seeing ks when reaching 10k, it’s more logical to me

Oh i totally lied it actually starts abbreviating once you get to 5 digits. My bad! You should see the full number displayed for your group.

The change that was made because of this post should be reverted because it looks like the group has less members than it actually does and it was better before because it showed more accurate member counts.

Before:

Now:

Please fix this because it looks like the group has less members than it actually does and it was better before because it showed more accurate member counts.

I think this should be reverted since it shows COMPLETELY inaccurate member counts.

While this method of abbreviation is not “accurate” in the sense of significant figures, it is correct, and provides what we consider the most relevant information to a user (the general size of the group). Users who desire to see the full member count can hover over the text and see the exact count.
