Developer Spawn seems like a good idea. Iâd even consider using it if it had a few major differences from the DevForum. The four big problems I have with this are:
1. Trust
How do developers know that they can trust you, your middle-men and moderators? The Roblox DevForum has hand-picked staff, Post Approval, Champions, Sages, etc. If you simply select random people, how will you know that they wonât go rogue or anything like that?
2. Safety
This is a big one. You said that Developer Spawn has no limitations, this includes no Post Approval! Anybody can send anything. This includes many duplicate posts, possible profanity and NSFW content, and more. DevForum is enforced and every single post goes through the Post Approval procedure. This ensures that everything is kept clear and clean.
3. Developers/Community
The Roblox DevForum has the most developers and possibly even more talented developers (Iâm not saying that there are no-talent developers). I believe that if you are hiring, the best way to get more talented people is on here (not necessarily).
4. Multi-Foruming (fake name but means what I want it to)
I donât think people are going to completely leave the DevForum for this other forum (they might), but if they use both forums, it complicates everything. They now have two websites to browse, which means they have to track replies/notifications from two places at once and keep track of whatâs where.
Once again, these are my opinions, they are not hate.

This is true, it has no advantages over the devforum other than that anyone can join it and make a post instantly.
The middle man idea is dumb as like a lot of people have said, no one is going to trust it except from people with no sense of value for their work.

Clearance.
- Once again you are not giving the staff of Developer Spawn your creations. Middlemen men is just incase you have doubts and need clearance on the produce of the developer you chose.
- There is a post approval system via a bot. You make a post request and then a staff approves it if itâs within all guidelines. Thatâs where the scam investigators comes in, if itâs in the selling category, they will verify that itâs not a stolen item being sold.
- Yes the forum is bigger as itâs apart of the main platform. No one is asking you to abandon the forum. Developer Spawn is simply an alternative and using both broadens your criteria as member of Developer Spawn may not be members of the forum.

The middlemen is optional. You are to decide whether you would like to use the service or not. For example letâs say you hire a builder but when he shows you he build ou are not sure whether it was created by the builder or it was stolen from someone else, you can then seek assistance from the middlemen to help you clear your doubts or verify your suspicions.

Ok but how are middle men trained? Like what actually is the deciding factor for someone to become a middle man, a scammer or someone with bad intents could literally just join the server, be nice until they get the rank then steal peopleâs stuff without them knowing.

Background checks are done before a middleman is given the role. And there are many deciding factors, not just anyone can option the role.

Background checks like what? Someone can change username online, basically discarding their previous bad acts meaning you will never know what theyâve actually done.

Compare us to Lifelock, they secure your identity from hackers and fraud, there is still not a 100% guarantee of this, it is just a way to help people out. DevFourm does not offer it, it is just a way to help people out, we are not forcing you to do this.

Our service for this is optional, we have post-approval in our server using our Discord bot, we have moderators and staff who accept or reject posts

As I previously stated, we have a post-approval system

We are aware of this, we have extra activities, and is not solely on development, you can be new to the development industry, and we can help you along your journey. For the talented developers, we are aware of this, this is more for small developers or growing developers.

This is solely optional, they do not have to use us, we are just offering these services, and is up to them if they want to browse 2 websites.

You didnât say it was required but if you are offering a service that you claim is trustworthy, but then someone gets scammed by this same service, then it invalidates it as one of your advantages youâre holding over the devforum.

Again, this is completely optional an up to the users, we have explained multiple times that the user is not required to use our middlemen. As far as the other servers as these, we are completely aware of this, which is why we try to organize events and other fun activities to do here.

We never said you are 100% not to get scammed, we admit our middlemen are trustworthy, this does not mean they completely are.

Well, hereâs a question. You say youâre better than the Roblox Developer Forum because you have âScam Investigatorsâ which Iâm assuming will act when a member of your community gets scammed. (With that alone, itâs evident that youâre expecting users to get scammed, which is no better if not worse than the Developer Fourm)
How can we assure that your âScam Investigatorsâ are credible? How can we assure theyâre adequately investigating and mitigating scammers on your platform? What kind of investigations do they conduct to ensure the scam claim is credible? Will you refund scammed people on your platform?
