That gives me no assurance whatsoever. I sincerely doubt your middlemen will be able to identify every single thing especially when it can be modified away from the original.

Middlemen are not bots, they are humans just like you and I. I can assure you that they do deep background checks to the best of their ability.

I can not assure your a real developer either, nothing is 100% true but our system is more reliable then loosing everything.

What insurance and protection are you offering though? If a middleman scams either party by either not delivering the asset or the money, there’s very little anyone can do about that.

Insurance implies that if someone loses anything as a result of using your platform they will be reimbursed in some portion. Is your platform actually able to support that?

Our middleman do not deliver the money, the developer sends the asset to the middleman and the middleman endurance it is not a stolen model,

DevFourm does not support anything like this, anything can happen in devfourm but with a middleman you can be more protected

I think there has being a misunderstanding on the duties of a middleman. A middleman does background checks and ensure the the produce is not a stolen one.

I don’t see the point. The Developer Forum has more resources and a bigger community. Also, Roblox can control what’s going on here with moderation tools and much more.

This still doesn’t answer the question of what you mean by insurance. And the point of a middleman is generally to ensure a deal where neither party gets scammed by acting as a third party that holds the goods of one party and delivers them once the second party has fulfilled their obligation. If the middleman’s only job is to verify that it isn’t a stolen model (which I don’t know how they would accomplish that, unless there’s some reverse model or code lookup tool) then they still won’t be able to solve the most common scamming issue which is one person delivering their side of the bargain and the other side not fulfilling their side once they are in control of both desired goods (usually money and the asset).

Yea I think your message just entirely killed any hope this service has. As a developer, I would never trust sending my asset over to someone without knowing I have gotten the money for my service. You really honestly think developers are gonna simply hand over our work to your middlemen, whom we have no clue whether they’ll do anything malicious with it or not, and expect that transition to go smoothly? Yea it’s a no from me chief.

If you have doubts on the item made by the developer all you need to do is create a ticket and the middleman will confirm whether your suspicions are correct or not

Listen, there’s about 100 different places and sites for this already made. I see this as just inefficient way to hire developers for your game considering that even with background checks, you have no official way of telling if that person if a legitimate developer. There’s plenty of ways to fake being a real developer and some people can hide that really well.

There’s plenty of faults with this idea already considering that you would hire middle men to assist with the deal whenever they can also use and steal the assets without anyone knowing. I suggest letting the Dev Forums be the main place for hiring developers for your game as it’s easier and more efficient, nothing having to deal with middlemen, you can prove if you are a real developer or not, and tons of other ways to get real developers for your game.

I mean, I do like your concept. However, if you think about it, there’s so many ways a user could get scammed in this situation as well and I just find it to be inefficient from this method of being able to hire developers off-site on another platform.

[color=#EA5452]DISCLAIMER: This is not hate against your creation.[/color]

Why is everybody making developer forums? I’ve seen 3 new ones over the past two weeks and I don’t understand the why. The original Roblox DevForum already exists with the most developers.

Also, here are a few things I’d like to point out:

You can perform background checks on developers by yourself. It’s not that hard! Simply search for the user’s name in the search bar and see if they have work that’s been appreciated or not.

‎

What kind of “insurance and protection”? Unless a developer is doing something completely stupid, they’re protected. Anybody can check for previous wrong-doings.

‎

This one is the most useless one. What are you going to do after you’ve already been scammed? If somebody stole your asset and blocked you, you can’t really do anything other than emailing Roblox and figuring it out. I’m not sure what anybody but the developer that got scammed can really do.

‎
I’m sorry if this has been a little harsh, this is simply my opinion on this topic. If you’d like to create websites for fun, to test your abilities, or anything like that, do it! But if you are trying to make a website for others, try to make something original.

This is a good concept, but like what other people have mentioned, this is a waste of resources. I get that there are pros and cons, but this concept is unoriginal and from what Im seeing you have less experienced developers, and members. If you want more people to use developer spawn over the devforum you should try switching up the way you get members. Anyways, like I said good concept I hope you guys succeed.

Developer Spawn has being in existence for a few months and many persons have found it reliable and efficient. I myself have personally used it as a modem of recruiting and it was very effective.

Yes Devforum already exist. However, Developer Spawn offers more flexibility than the forum does.

#43

May I ask, what flexibility and activities/events does Developer Spawn offer apart from the Dev forums. From what I have seen, the forums are more active with new developers joining everyday to learn more about development in their field on roblox, ways for others to interact with each other and hire developers for their game, a way to get yourself out there by creating a portfolio, and a multitude of other possibilities for you here on the forums. What does Developer Spawn offer that DevForums do not?

Alright so after doing a bit of research, there are some pros and cons with this.

Pros

Beneficial for new Developers
Ability to meet new Developers
Receive Help and Assistance
Social Media Shoutouts ( Developer of the Week)
Middleman person (I believe this is optional so for those of you who don’t trust this person, understand you aren’t forced to have a middleman person.)
There is a Scam Investigator department
Verification System to avoid any botting, scammers, raids, and etc

Cons

There are hundreds of servers like this.
There might be a risk with the middleman? (There might be)
The server seems to have many new developers. Not so much of an experienced developer there.
Can you really trust it? (Not really a question but is a question)

In my eyes, this is a good idea but again, there are MANY servers/groups like this. Some people might think the middleman is a bad idea but just notice that the middleman isn’t a requirement (or at least it doesn’t state that anywhere on the forum or server). So if you don’t like the middleman idea, then don’t use it. Simple as that. Just be careful to not get scam.

Alright, this might seem sketchy. But just know you aren’t forced to give any models, you aren’t forced to use the middleman. What is there to lose?

Again for the 5th time (or 3rd time if I overcounted) this isn’t the first time a group like this has pop up. It’s just like another DevForum but on discord. It’s up to you to decided if you want to use it or not.

Note from Tsu: I DON’T WORK FOR THEM BY THE WAY I JUST DID A BIT OF RESEARCH.

Agreed that the forum is more active and bigger but it is also in collaboration with the main platform hence it’s expected to be bigger and better. We are not saying to abandon the forum and choose us. We are only providing an alternative to the forum. It is still your decision whether to join or not. As I mentioned before there are no limitations in Developer Spawn.
