And what is the problem with that, theoretically a group can dominate multiple genres even without a group rename.
My problem is with illegitimate/bot accounts in a group and for that owner to easily rename just makes them selling the group easier.
You can’t change the group name until 90 days after a owner transfer which would likely be long enough for support to lock the group.
Swag, thanks!
New problem: My name is taken by a closed group.
I updated my reply using this informaiton.
oh yeah i agree the group is handle many people but if you change 1 people username it cost 1k robux
Another issue with group renaming is also Roblox accepts nonstandard text for renaming. Like the Russian keyboard has:
Т, М, с, В, р, х, о
That look identical to normal letters; there are also other letters that Roblox accepts for renaming. You can just rename an existing group and then utterly dominate competition unfairly.
I don’t get why you see outreaching or rebranding as a bad thing. The point of being able to rename a group is so that this can be possible.
If this is your concern, price shouldn’t matter. Development groups that are capable of “dominating a genre” already have the means, and funding, to do so.
Another group feature request which frankly should’ve been added a long time ago and is desperately needed is the option to set payout %'s on a per game basis instead of a per group basis.
Currently each time you get someone new involved in a project you have to make an entire new group because otherwise you’d be paying a % of other (linked to the group) games’ earnings as well. It is incredibly frustrating to have to constantly make new groups for each and every project just because you can’t set a payout % on a per-game basis.
It is just outrageous that we have to grow an entire new group/community every, single, project for the sake of being able to distribute payouts fairly. I want to grow one large community. Not 50 small ones.
Sorry if I sound a little agitated, it’s been bothering me for a while.
Estamos Extremamente Feliz por isso,por uma nova maneira de arrumar grupos, caso alguns cometam erro ao fazer um Nome no Grupo ou alterar para um nome melhor…
mas tenho uma pergunta. Terá como copiar Nome de Grupos maiores Exemplo Grupos de Youtubers?
Caso tenha. espero que resolva isso…
Caso não tenha, estarei contente desse update.
Obrigado Pela atenção
This option is a great idea but for the price of 100 robux? we could create a new group for that price with the new name.
This is also possible with just creating a new group too…
This seems a little low. What happens if I want to revert my group name change, but somebody takes the name just before I can do it? There’s a very short window for me to be able to revert.
They should do it like the usernames where only that person can use the original name/s
This update is excellent and wise! There’s a chance for people to change their names if they misspelled or actually would like a new name.
Why are we not allowed to change the capitalization of a group name we already own like we can with usernames? I’ve excitedly waited over a year for this feature to be released only to find out I can’t change the letter P in my group’s name to a lowercase P.
Dear Roblox,
Please implement a way to blacklist/ ban users from joining a group.
This is a long overdue feature, one thing I’m a bit concerned about though, say you have a big group then you change the name, after this 90 days are other people able to use that name? If so something i thought of is people trying to impersonate bigger groups and using it in bad ways.
Like say they took the name and the logo etc.
Idk, just a thought I had.
I agree, it can look odd? Maybe if we can have an option to turn it off/on.
I was made owner of a server and I own all the groups. One of our groups needs a name change. I was made group owner about 2 months ago yet despite the update coming out today, I am unable to change the name because it is “under 90 days.”
I wouldn’t normally care but I worried that our group change will be namesniped and we’ll have to do some weird workaround name. Am I just a bad case of unfortunate timing or is this an overlooked exception regarding the ownership detection code?
Finally, I can change my group name to something a lot better.
This is a great update.
