I disagree (I am basing the information on the topic title, as the topic is deleted). The post seems to be related to a concern about cheating crowns on the Roblox platform. Developers don’t have influence on giving crowns and aren’t significantly affected.
On top of that, it seems more like a bug report. Generally, topics like these have a high chance of flag approval (based on my daily flagging experience).
As reminder:
• Topics should not be for other concerns
Use #resources to share tutorials or assets. Use #feature-requests and #bug-reports for requesting changes to Roblox or reporting bugs. Use #help-and-feedback for issues with your game or development. Do not provide feedback on the platform here; Roblox will likely not see it, post on a bug report, feature request, or relevant announcement instead. For other issues, please contact Support - Roblox.
The flagging was correct, DET handled correctly, and your topic was indeed out-of-scope. Development Discussion topics may not be related to one person or one question. It’s not a Q&A category.
I don’t know where you based this speculation on? When a post gets flagged, it gets sent to review. DET will always make the final decision. Your posts might become hidden, but once DET approves that nothing’s wrong, your post will become visible again.
DET generally reviews flags within 24 hours.
Yeah, this is indeed true and it’s really strange. When a topic is really popular, they are unlikely to hide it. They just approve your flag and move on. I have only had a few times that a popular topic got taken down when I outlined that the topic was rule-breaking in whole.
Why would your friend stop developing on Roblox because of the flagging system at the DevForum? That’s a bit too extreme, in my opinion.
Two questions I have to all of you:
• What do you think Developer/Development Discussions are?
• Could you provide links to topics that have been taken down without reason (according to you)?
