Firstly, thanks you for posting. It’s great to see self-reflection and pushing higher standards, it’s lovely to see that and read. For me, I find that I do agree with what you’re saying and I try to personally help by being more clearly publicly on threads where I think moderation should step in a bit more.
The hardest thing moving forward is bringing people back who may have better value than we expect, even if they don’t get the rules so well (I think of BSlick and Asimo as examples); I’ve hoped to try and change culture more directly with DevRel in a private meeting with them, some of that has come to existence but there is much to do.
Maybe PA is part of it, but there just feels like this ethos, standard, behaviour, something which taints the response, maybe it could be stupidity of those who don’t know better; whatever it is, there should be some movement to create a higher standard and that standard to trickle down why giving free will to make choices.
Maybe the introduction of a specific category for Roblox policy or other similar idea may work but ultimately I want to an ethos across the entire forums for whenever change is what you want known, simply.
As an entire thread, you need to:
- Make your points clear and not duplicate others
- Be decent and make it logical
- Know when to shut up and change how you respond
- Be readable and respectful
If the thread requires anything not immediately seen by people on the forums (not DevRel and Roblox engineers [if in Platform Feedback ONLY], there are a more wider concept people need to consider with their post
- You need to take your idea, be able to give it to DevRel to forward, to whomever it needs to go to; for them to respond however they do, for DevRel to come back to show to you.
If you fail to get across that entire track, you don’t see any messages giving any feedback back, if that’s your fault or not.
Where PA comes into this overarching concept of feedback, that can be a point of discussion but that’s ultimately how I feel things like that should go.
