This is a great update that will make groups (or communities) a lot better than they initially were. The ability to ban people is a step up, and the new Forums will be absolutely game-changing!
I do have a question regarding groups (more specifically, the group wall).
How long will Group Wall posts stay around before they get removed? Will they stay around until Q1 2025 or will they be removed by the end of this year?
Is any API being changed to reflect the new naming? e.g. GroupService, Player:IsInGroup(), etc.
Seriously, where do you get those testers? I would’ve loved to get early access but I don’t know where you asked for people to apply. Would be happy to find out
Kinda sad that Community walls will be gone but I guess the Guilded servers will replace that function.
People from RDC 2024 had the opportunity to sign up for that.
unfortunately, we didn’t get the nice native UI shown in the introduction video & we are still stuck with the web-based interface as of now
i’m talking about the way Communities is displayed on the app as of now, really great if we got the UI shown in the picture above
Nothing but good feelings from the platform recognising the importance of groups in today’s Roblox, be it for development or assembling large communities, and we’re finally getting the group rework we truly deserved. This is the start of so much more and I am thrilled to follow its progress.
Massive appreciation to the teams hard at work to bring this vision to life. Especially happy about the ability to ban people and have a natively supported way to change ranks via Open Cloud. No more reliance on unstable libraries or cookies to get some rank automation done.
Was this actually released or is this just announcing an upcoming feature? I can’t find a ban option anywhere on the Roblox website or the Creator Hub.
It should be released. For me atleast it is, if you go to configure your group, then members and then click the 3 dots on one of the members then Kick User and Ban User should appear.
Yeah it just now appeared for my group. I guess it’s still rolling out.
This is huge, great update! Will definitely make use of the new open cloud endpoints!
They address this in the post.
Not sure if it was just me, but I’ve always referred to my Personal Groups as “Communities” lol. It just feels like a better way to describe them.
Thanks for listening. this update is really what we needed, we can finally permanently kick spammers for good now.
Will the Ban User function be accessible from the API at some point? This would help with timed suspensions for some groups (communities) in some ways.
What will happen to old group walls? Will all of it get removed or will it be archived?
Does this not work with API keys? 
this is the moment I’ve been waiting for sense rdc24 @Roblox what is the initial release date for this feature
I dont have the ban feature, and even if I did, where do we even access the ban panel
We’re not removing walls before the end of this year. We are planning to disable creation of new wall posts when forums are enabled, but you’ll still be able to view your wall in a read-only state. While we anticipate removing the wall at a later date, we’re still gathering feedback from the community on this. If or when we decide to remove the wall, we’ll make sure to provide ample notice for creators to make the necessary adjustments.
But let us know what you need. We want to get this transition right.
