the way I see it is that when payouts are locked they’re locked indefinitely if you’re flagged by this system. if this isn’t some kind of experimentation of some sort then this should be resolved immedietely.

Can you please revert this and actually make the site secure in terms in account hijacking? Oh wait, that’ll never happen

@Kairomatic This is becoming past the point of ridiculous.
It is December 1st.
I have now been waiting 28 days for my funds to release.
They still show pending. You guys really need to get a support feature to get this dealt with.
I feel like I was robbed as I made the group purchase with my own robux and lost my group due to a full month to get access to my robux that I had originally. Now I lose 30 percent from buying a tshirt, and have to wait over 30 days.
This is just beyond, way beyond the most ridiculous most frustrating thing ROBLOX has done to its community.
Yall need to fix this crap.

Such a broken system, my robux I earned entirely from gamepass sales have been pending for over 7 days in multiple of my groups, I have people I have to pay and I have to deal with this.
Seriously its sad when we are lied to like this, They are aware that people rely on receiving their money they worked for to pay bills and eat?

I second this. This sytem is really hard to work with if you have people that work for you and need to be paid in time. nice funds btw!

Since people are waiting for 3 weeks apparently (that’s what I had to wait for too) I think the appropriate name for this update is called:
Developer Nightmare

Three to seven days is too long of a wait.

This thing is a joke
Yeah, I’m definitely considering halting development on this platform at this point. ROBLOX has made one too many wrong choices. My team and I worked on a commission for weeks in hopes of making some extra income for Christmas. We finish early only for our funds to be held for over a month. No transparency from ROBLOX, no heads up, no additional information addressing this - just an email from support telling me that it could take two days, or it could take six months. They’re just telling me to wait. Disgusting.

In all honestly, this waiting period adjustment isn’t fair by any means. Even after my funds were verified, they are still pending and waiting for verification at this time? This is punishment to those that didn’t do anything wrong, as there are other ways to combat fraud or protect earnings. The new waiting period should be reverted in all honesty, as it just seems a bit redundant. There are loopholes as well to combat this, and yet there was no action taken about those loopholes (read above, as multiple posters mentioned some ways to get around this).
It’s nice and all, but this is hurting the developers/users in the end regardless how nice this may seem.
TL;DR revert this update and actually find better solutions to combat fraud and earnings getting stolen

My group was on the Bloxys and from 2012. We’ve had 0 problem paying people, even over 100 Robux. I have no idea why everyone has a wait, yet my group has none.
Honestly I think this is an unfair update. As a small time developer and group owner I have to wait longer for my funds. I need money for ads to keep my game up and running. The three day waiting period was already long enough. I don’t need it to be any longer. This update disappoints me. I hope Roblox will fix this.

For my 140 robux I got from a person buying a gamepass from one of my abandoned games it took an entire week and that’s just plain stupid at this point, I want it so if there are going to be very large robux things it can take maybe 3 days, but only 140 robux for 7 days is idiotic at this point.

I understand that this is for the safety of our earnings and an addition to the game in order to improve the safety of the platform however, I believe 3 - 7 days is quite a lot, this would especially damage smaller developers & groups. I believe the time should be shortened but not drastically.

7 Weeks! That’s crazy, I thought 3 days was harsh nevermind a week. It’s hard as a small developer, when paying other people at the same time. I don’t really approve of this update to be honest.

It’s not like moderation will actually work either way, since everything still keeps getting through.

Ever since I started playing ROBLOX I haven’t seen any security issues with the god damn waiting time.

Since this update, I’ve been seeing numerous accounts getting falsely deleted/terminated for participating in the buying or selling of items, robux, or accounts in exchange for real world currency. This has happened to my friend who I can verify has not done that, and has had a clean history on roblox. Browsing Twitter I’m seeing it everywhere. Now some of these may be justified, but most have been falsely terminated.
(YokuCode is my friend, just to clarify)

My clothing group has maybe 100 robux in group funds, and every time, I have to wait at least 1 week for the funds to come through. I really don’t see how this will help, and an alternate solution would be to add an account pin every time a player tries to buy something, an account pin when transferring robux, etc. Was this update really necessary?
I just thought to share my opinion, thanks.

Why, just why.
It was already hard enough to pay devs because of the 3 DAY pending but know you are making it 7 days???, The founder of rusted studio and I had to make the payment every 2-3 months!
Just why!??

Same with me, I have been waiting like 2 weeks at this point to get the robux in my group (over 1k).
It has been pending for that time from me giving myself 1 robux to buy a gamepass to test a feature on my game, and still pending.
