So it sounds like as a Community Sage, you saw a valid reason for bumping an old bug report that wasn’t addressed.
It’d be nice if we could get some input from Roblox Staff on the problem that we’ve identified in this thread. Without a change in the rules, the “Development Engagement Team” will continue to delete any form of post bumping
If there’s a valid reason to bump a post like bringing up a new blocker I can’t see them deleting a post unless the post is like 3> years old, in which case making a new one would be preferred if possible.
The specific reason I chose to do this in the DevHub category is that the impact is low but responses to threads have been relatively high – if it doesn’t garner a response from staff then it doesn’t work and probably isn’t a good solution.
I don’t think your assumptions are a realistic reflection of how the moderation staff for the devforum approach their roles.
When reading through this thread, I believe the conclusion most people would reach is that the staff needs to implement a mechanism for reminding the engineering team of bugs that are being ignored. There are a few different solutions we’ve discussed in the thread.
The current enforcement of the rules by staff prevents the following:
As the staff will actively remove these sort of posts since they don’t add new information to the old, ignored bug report, there is currently no mechanism to bring an issue back to light.
I feel like this topic is a little too pedantic on the rule. Valid bumps are fine, as highlighted here:
If staff really didn’t want you bumping your own topics they would have auto-closed them within a week or so.
