I own multiple large groups on Roblox and find myself constantly having to delete spam messages like the ones posted below. I am curious if Roblox could find a way to allow us (the Developers) to add some type of chat filtering where we can automatically delete posts with the words “Free” or “Robux” and possibly disable links as well. This would greatly improve community interaction and really shrink the amount of spam messages that take up space in my group wall/community.
I second this - I really think it’d be beneficial for us to have more control over filtering the contents of our group walls without having to manually delete each message. Something that could be helpful is the ability to ban certain keywords (e.g. “free”, “robux”), or even detect a message as ‘spam’ if it’s posted 2/3 times in a row (which alternatively could be bypassed by these bots by having different message variants, so the keywords ban is probably the best option…)
This feature is a must. While it’s not too time consuming to manually go in and delete these myself, it gets quite annoying and really makes the group wall appear unprofessional when it gets bombarded with spam posts. A lot of the time, users will try and use the group wall to give feedback or report bugs they encounter within the game. This becomes very hard to sift through when the wall gets filled with spam as seen in the examples posted by OP. Definitely would love this feature to be added!
This feature would be awesome. In the meanwhile until Roblox does add this, we’ve had to develop our own group wall auto-mod that was annoyingly hard to create with Roblox’s IP-based cookie resets.
Manually deleting each spam message is very tedious. Missing just 1 day of deleting messages accumulates a ton of spam on the wall.
I’ve been getting these “share on 10 groups” spams which real players are also posting because, well, they’re probably just gullible children. I even get some spam in other languages such as Spanish.
I disagree. It’s been very useful for me to figure out what my player base wants. Many of my updates come from group wall suggestions.
Disabling the group wall is not a solution to the problem. If I didn’t want to use the group wall, I wouldn’t care about the spam filling it up anyway. But I want to read the real messages.
Discord TOS requires users to be 13+ which eliminates half of my player base. And encouraging my audience to break TOS is also not a solution to the problem.
We NEED this feature. Right now, I got into a habit of spending a minute or two every few hours to delete spam, time that can be put to much better use honestly. While the spam stays up before I can get to it, they degrade the group wall experience and I’m sure put off some players from engaging.
To others that suggest to just close the group wall - I found that with the roblox group you can get feedback from a younger and perhaps more casual audience. Very different from the feedback from someone that would join discord.
