As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to properly articulate and synthesize feedback on the developer forum. This is due to an abundance of spam and low quality posts from users. It is my belief that Roblox should restrict the developer forum to developers who have cashed out over $1,000,000 Robux via Developer Exchange.
It doesn’t make sense for people who aren’t actual developers to voice their opinions and weigh in on topics that do not impact them.
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum because I could have more intelligent and productive conversations.
As a Roblox developer, I am the very low-quality bug report that clogs up the forum, and I couldn’t agree more that users like me shouldn’t have access to it. My posts are often vague, duplicated, or missing critical steps to reproduce, and I rarely bother to search before submitting. Frankly, I add nothing of value to serious discussions about engine features or API changes, because I haven’t built anything substantial or cashed out a single Robux. It would be a massive improvement if Roblox restricted forum access to developers who have proven their commitment through DevEx earnings over $1,000,000 Robux. That way, I wouldn’t be tempted to spam reports, and real developers could focus on productive conversations without my noise. I fully support being locked out—it would save everyone time and frustration.
I strongly support this. The Bug Reports section has been getting way more traffic lately, and with that comes a flood of low-quality submissions that just waste Roblox staff’s time when they’re trying to find reports that are actually actionable.
Tying access to a financial threshold makes sense.. if you’ve generated real money for the ecosystem, you’re a lot more likely to submit something worth reading rather than a half-baked report that isn’t in-scope.
I personally think this idea should be more broad to allow for users to verify their integrity with a “Proof of Funds” system which allows for verification of wealth via Blockchain confirmation technologies to prove whether a user has a high enough net worth to show their prestige, reputability and worthiness. To prove authenticity I believe there should be official Web3 integration rather than a basic screenshot proof system as many users are known to use larp wallets with fake funds to claim notability. Adding support for these technologies could also be good for the future of the platform allowing for more modernisation and future first concepts. Such as an onsite limited USD marketplace and the ability to make robux and membership purchases via cryptonic currencies (street name crypto). I’m sure many users will be very excited to have these features and I hope you take my suggestions on board.
I think that the 1 million robux limit is too much. Many developers (like me) take commissions and get paid directly in USD. So people who do actually developer and get affected by such stuff, yet haven’t cashed out 1 million robux will be severely affected by this. I strongly oppose this idea.
However, bug reports, yes, I agree. There is too much junk in Bug Reports.
The OP wants bug reports to be locked solely to top developers/people in the top engaging experiences program which is too restrictive, instead potentially users which have more bug reports accepted could have higher priority/be more visible to staff unlike users with lower, like a reputation system or something, while there is several other ways of fixing such, that is one thing i have thought for now.
As a Roblox developer, I find it increasingly difficult to properly articulate and synthesize meaningful feedback on the Developer Forum. The main issue is the overwhelming volume of low-quality posts, spam, and repetitive threads that drown out thoughtful discussion. Important topics—such as engine updates, API changes, or platform limitations—often get buried under vague bug reports, poorly researched suggestions, or posts that lack even basic effort. This environment makes it harder for developers who genuinely want to contribute to be heard, and it significantly reduces the overall value of the forum as a place for serious discussion.
In my view, a large part of the problem stems from the fact that access to the forum is too broad. Many users who participate are not actively developing or have not demonstrated a meaningful level of commitment to the platform. As a result, conversations are often dominated by opinions that are uninformed or irrelevant to the actual development process. This creates noise rather than insight, and it becomes frustrating to engage in discussions that should otherwise be productive and technically focused.
Because of this, I strongly believe Roblox should consider restricting access to the Developer Forum to users who have proven their involvement and dedication—such as developers who have reached a significant DevEx threshold, for example cashing out over 1,000,000 Robux. While this may seem strict, it would ensure that participants have real experience, understand the platform’s systems, and are more likely to provide constructive, actionable feedback.
Implementing such a requirement would not only reduce spam and low-effort content, but also elevate the quality of discussions across the board. Developers would be able to engage in more intelligent, focused, and relevant conversations without constantly filtering through noise. Ultimately, this would make the forum a more effective space for collaboration, feedback, and meaningful dialogue, which benefits both the developer community and Roblox as a whole.
to be fair i did see some random kid make a bug report containing [URGENT] in the title saying they lost game passes and the admin replied saying they voluntarily deleted them
Just because you might be affected by the changes suggested in this thread, that doesn’t justify dismissing @green271’s entire suggestion as an “elaborate troll post”. Let’s be respectful and promote healthy, constructive discourse!
A strong way to reinforce that comment is to focus on why dismissing ideas outright actually weakens the discussion rather than protecting it:
What matters here isn’t whether someone agrees with @green271—it’s whether their argument has been meaningfully engaged with. Labeling something as an “elaborate troll post” skips that step entirely. It replaces critique with assumption, which shuts down the chance to test the idea on its merits.
If the suggestion is flawed, the best way to show that is by pointing out specific inconsistencies, bad data, or unrealistic conclusions. That strengthens the conversation and makes the counterargument more credible. But if people jump straight to dismissal, it creates an environment where only popular or “safe” opinions get considered, and anything unconventional gets ignored regardless of its actual value.
Also, calling something a troll post without clear evidence risks discouraging others from contributing. People are less likely to share thoughtful (or even experimental) ideas if they think they’ll just be written off. That leads to stagnation instead of improvement.
So backing up @Bloxec’s point: being respectful doesn’t mean agreeing—it means engaging seriously. If the goal is better outcomes or smarter decisions, then the discussion has to stay focused on reasoning, not labels.
If this isn’t a troll post, this is a pretty bad suggestion. Wealth is not indicative of technical know-how and how to properly report bugs. I don’t often check bug reports, but if there is actually an issue with low quality bug-reports then there are many better ways to fix it that have been proven to work in other industries and don’t require classism.
