Today, I almost got scar for life to see something I shouldn’t have seen the first place. A User was posting soo much NSFW, that I can’t believe that user hasn’t been banned from the dev forum Yet. Most people flag the post, while some were even pinging moderators, this is a problem that has to be solved immediately. developers need a new flag option that able to contact moderators to deal with these posts, or at least make the user stop posting.
Why we need this.
Whenever this happens, it sets a very bad example for Roblox and devforum community. Imagine if kids saw this, this could scar them for life. Visitors shouldn’t even have the perk to look at flag posts. if least two or three users flag a post that NSFW, it should hide the post/topics, and stop users from having to post or create a topic. it would immediately stop a person from doing anything on devforum.
How this would benefit the user posting NSFW
This Feature should hide user posts/topics for Visitors, Members, Regular+, But only moderation would be able to look at these posts/topics.
This would stop users from posting and creating topics.
If no current moderation is not available online, then the First and Second Feature should work automatically if Two or three Users have flag this topic/post for NSFW. When Moderations are current online they can decide the punishment for the user.
That is what the “inappropriate” option is for. Also flag options are built into the software. Even then, “something else” option exists, so if “inappropriate” didn’t exist you could mention it was nsfw in the something else option.
I think given the nature of this forum however, it wouldn’t be undesirable to have a flag option that when it wins as the flag reason and the post is hidden, the post cannot be expanded by visitors/members/regulars. It’s very undesirable to let someone accidentally expand pornography when they were expecting something just rude or off-topic.
We don’t need this to be seperate from the “It’s Inappropriate” flag that we already have. It’s unbelievably rare for this to happen, and it’s up to the users choice to show hidden/flagged posts that could offend or shock them. Unless it’s some extremely graphic irl gore, I highly doubt it would scar anyone for life.
I think something like this is a good option. If a topic is flagged for being inappropriate multiple times, hide it from normal users or have a “this may be inappropriate note before opening” warning etc. Implementation doesn’t matter, just something that makes you less likely to unexpectedly have porn on your screen.
I’m not sure the point of the community being able to expand flagged posts anyway? That’s between the original poster or DET to resolve. This would have no impact.
If people abuse flagging system, terminate their roblox account.
You have to be 13+ to use the forum. Still not saying that its ok, its just that really little kids have no way of seeing it (unless they are lying about their age, which is their own problem).
Same, I’ve been an active user for (almost) six months, and I have yet to see something extremely inappropriate.
Luckily, I didn’t see the thing yesterday but I always make sure to look at the replies before expanding ignored content, which is always a good practice.
Besides, you’re more likely to see NSFW on platforms like Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok than on DevForum. There’s no such thing as a “NSFW-free” platform.
Use the “inappropriate” flag option, if you see something else bad on the DevForums and there is no option for it, just use “Something else” option, moderators will see what else is happening and will solve it.
That’s what the inappropriate option is for, I just saw some and it’s scary alright, i’m not old enough for this ****. And yes your right, it’s a deep scar that’s gonna stay for a day or 2.
