Developer Support

Forum Help
#1

I have an idea for the Developer Forum, many people of the Roblox Star Program (used to) get a certain amount of ROBUX to give away every so often, but how about Developer Support?

What is my idea and how would developers benefit from it.

  • Many developers have a lack of money, but have contributed heavily to the DevForum, and they’re handpicked by the DevForum staff to recieve a certain amount of ROBUX to use for their developing to hire people, or something like that.
  • Many developers do need some support for their game, and during COVID-19, they don’t have much time, so this could greatly benefit the developers now.

Why would people get chosen?

  • Developers would get chosen based on their contributions or hard work on the DevForum by getting recognized by the DevForum staff.

What do you think of my idea?

I’m pretty sure if you join a project in the #collaboration:recruitment category and complete it, you’ll get the payment you desire. Plus, good standing DevForum members will be more trusted in such projects, so it basically goes hand-in-hand with what you have asked.

This can already be done…

Well this is more for users who have contribute to the DevForum, like helping users on the DevForum, not for a price.

If Post Approval doesn’t get paid, then how do you expect ordinary members to get paid? I just don’t think it’s feasible.

Plus, helping shouldn’t come at a cost. And it will prompt users to incorrectly spam useless post just for the $$$.

Again, this is for the Developer Forum, and this is for contributing to the DevForum, also, many users can only do one project at a time, if they’re doing recruitment.
But what if the game flops, and they worked hard on it?

Interesting concept, but i feel that it takes away the point of development almost. For one, people might try to trick these staff into giving free robux, and for two, many amazing developers dont use Roblox DevForum who deserve that money more.

Well, this idea based off of businesses who got funded by contests because of their idea.

My idea says this is staff-picked, so it’ll be obvious if it’s spamming.

I don’t agree with this concept at all. Developers already have plenty of chances to grow from hard work. This would make people feel more forced to develop rather than it being for fun. All in all it just would not work properly.

This is for contributions, not for developing. Contributions are like helping users in Scripting Support/Art Support or something else like that.
But thanks for the opinion on this.

This is the DevForum though, it’s about developing. If you want to get paid just to write stuff become an author.

#12

People who contribute and help other people don’t do it because they expect a reward. Paying them seems like it’d feed a toxic community where people feel forced to help for the money instead of just contributing because they want to. Titles like Post Approval and Top Contributor already give people some amount of pressure to be active on the forum that they might not otherwise feel; imagine how much worse that would be if people actually got a tangible benefit instead of just a useless blue flair.

I agree. I do this because it is fun and helps my writing skills, not because i am getting paid by Roblox.

#14

This is a once-in-a-time thing, it’s not like this would happen every week or so. But, hey, I get where you’re coming from.

It doesn’t work out when you look at it from a long-term prospective. People will feel like they are useless because nobody is giving them stuff in reality you have to work for or pay for

#16

Well it wouldn’t be like they would be getting ROBUX all the time, the list would change to other users, not just the same users.

#17

well judging off of basic human emotions, many people might get the reward, and stop contributing. After all, all they are there for is some sweet, sweet robux. They see the forum as useless after that.

#18

It would be a one-time reward, it wouldn’t be like Builder’s Club, where you get 30 ROBUX/day or something like that.

#19

i dont think you understand. They join because they hear about the reward, then leave after they get it. Sort of like robux scams, you download the app to get the robux, but when you got the robux you delete it. Basic human schemes. Another example, you post something for people to see, and when they don’t see it you might boost it by doing small tweaks. Make more sense now? Also, the name of this post doesn’t make sense, if it isn’t for developing yet more of a contributor boost, Why is this called developer support? That counts as off-topic in the rules i think.

I agree with you, after you get the reward you are more likely to just walk away with the reward and never come back. I know a few games on roblox that actually reward Members from the Dev Forum and im not gonna name any people but people from those games have came here, grinded out the times and stuff to get member then never return and always have the reward.
