Yep. On top of that, all of the members of the group that had signed up for one group were all of a sudden in something they didn’t sign up for. That was also a pretty big issue.

For the upcoming overhaul it’d be great if we could log why moderation action was taken on posts/users/etc.
Why did I delete a post? Because it was a double-post. Can’t tell that from the audit log and it may look like I deleted a reasonable post.
Why did I exile a user? Because they were spamming the wall. Nobody can tell why I exiled them in the audit log though, so they might think I unfairly exiled them.
Also, when exiling a user it gives you the option to delete their posts. If you choose to do this, their posts are deleted, but these are not added to the audit log. This is problematic for the same reason above. I can say I exiled them for spam, but where’s the proof since the audit log has no trace of their messages? It should show those posts being deleted.

I like these ideas and I have something to add to them:
When removing posts it’d be nice if we can select a group of posts to delete at once. That way we don’t have to go on one by one giving a reason for each…

The reason locked groups stay locked is because of the funds in some of them. If all of these were suddenly unlocked, someone with a list of which groups have funds in them could just go through all of them and make hundreds of thousands of robux.
All the more reason to never allow abandoned groups to be claimed and just give out their names instead, assigning a placeholder name to the abandoned group in its place which the owner can reset if they ever come back to claim the group.

Someone suggested to me that groups have more specific ranking controls. Basically, allowing a particular rank, ranking abilities over specific ranks. That way, if you want a high rank in the group to be able to control some ranks below them but not others you can do that. Right now, you either can or cannot control all ranks below you.

A hacky way around this would be to set the ranks you don’t want affecting eachother to the same Rank Number (1-255).

Would be super easy with the ability to assign multiple roles. There’d be a primary role that the user would show up as, but all other roles would have their permissions applied on top of that (like Discord permissions). For instance, instead of ROBLOX having to design something niche like a “ManageRankList” permission constraint specifically for this, we could just create roles that look like this:
- ModifyRanks0To50Permission
- ModifyRank55Permission
- ModifyRank60Permission
and assign those to the HR role which is assigned to every user in the group whose rank is >= 150
We need this still. This would change groups forever.

Why on Earth hasn’t this even been slightly added yet. It was posted in 2014 and absolutely needs to be implemented. Things like this is what will keep people playing the site. I don’t mean to have this tone of ‘voice’ however there is no reason why this shouldn’t be added.

This would be important for many groups including Hidden Developers as I feel so limited currently. It would be a step in the right direction.

Because the games page, catalog, and other pages are used more than group page and had to be overhauled first. Groups are already on the roadmap – it’s just that they’re not the center of the world.
Apparently they’ve been on the roadmap for too long to remember. There isn’t a reason why some of the basic things couldn’t be added soon enough.
From what I remember it was originally going to be worked on by an intern but they realized after the fact that it was too large to take on in a short period of time, and so it was put off. The reason it hasn’t been worked on yet is because there’s not enough manpower. Even small changes would require tasking employees already working on more important projects.
I’m not saying that the developers at Roblox aren’t busy and/or don’t have more important things to be working on however one must think about what they could possibly be working on considering how much time has passed since the original post. You would think that spreading out the development over multiple areas such that nothing this major gets left for too long would be a must for them. Why can’t they work on little sections at a time? You can’t tell me that you need more than 5 competent developers to make some small features that would take solo developers a day or two to make.

I would want this ;(
You know how they sort of have to focused time and effort on the biggest “bang for buck” updates?
These would all be those sorts of updates.
I’d want these ideas implemented. It would make managing a group so much easier.
I think it would be nice for groups to also have a Developer stats like thing so keep track on the member growth, profits, ect.

I LOVE THIS!
Groups have become tools over the years, and what I mean by that is that they’re simply a hub to publish games to get easier payment to staff, and to direct members to discord servers, or twitter accounts.
limitations on groups have slowly destroyed the communities that had the potential to excel.
the rest of this post is simply some of mine ideas for potential group features?
Mobile Friendly:
If I, as a group owner on the Roblox app I have two options: Remove primary, and Leave Group. I don’t expect a fully functional group admin on the app, but I can’t even post group shouts?
The only things I can view is the shout, and the wall. I can’t visit the store, the clan, or the games, and that’s a bummer.
Custom tabs:
by default, the Games tab, or the Clan tab is the first tab shown depending on your group setting, I’d like to see groups to pick the default tab on the group’s page
(Example: a clothing group, would likely prefer to have the Store tab shown first)
Pinned wall posts:
None-urgent group messages that are not appropriate for an whole group shout.
(Such as: minor details like New group executive announcement, Question of the day, etc)
Group stats:
The group stats show Owner, Members, and Clan members, why not expand that to show Place Visits? It’ll be neat to see game studios like Berezza games total visits easily!
Social Media:
This goes against what I said earlier, but avatar profiles have social media links to Twitter, Facebook, Youtube,
why not make some of those quick links for groups? There are groups that are fanclubs for youtube channels,
or many groups have group twitter accounts to quickly share information to group members in non-urgent manners.
More information on wall posts:
Some google chrome extensions already do this, but have user’s ranks next to their name on wall posts, this is just for quick access to a member’s group for numerous reasons,
and for Trade. on the ROBLOX+ extension, we have neat little trade button to easily open a user’s trade window
Not saying every group needs a trade button, but it opens up possibilities for groups specific to a community such as Trade. and trading.
I feel like I’m going on too much, so I’m going cut myself short before I write an novel, but I’m truly passionate about groups, and it truly hurts me to see them get degraded, but I also understand there’s higher priorities, and limitations to adding features to groups.
