It’s genuinely saddening that the idea of a moderation team enforcing the rules on their own accord as opposed to waiting for someone to spell it out to them in a something else report is considered harsh, let alone harsher than whatever we have currently.

“Harsh” might be the wrong word in my reply. To be more politically correct, I should have said:
Roblox should acquire their Moderation Team of Authorized Personel adequate skill to perform the duty of rule and guideline enforcement to ensure a high-quality user experience to all users, past, present, and future, instead of leaving it as a user-initated section of compliance issue reports, whether or not it be correct or in a timely fashion, in addition to the Personel’s current status not being ideal for the situation involved, which may or may not cause yielding to the current issue, delaying the action by lengthy periods of time which causes inefficiency to the process in which the user deemed important.
Summary
Roblox’s moderation should do things on their own instead of only allowing user reports on posts at times when the mods are sleeping.

Its easy for you to say that when you are in the program, but it’s not fair for the people that would contribute a lot to the forums and aren’t able to get in, same thing with UGC happens right now, where many amazing creators like me are trying to get UGC access but we haven’t got in while UGC creators who did get in are protesting to not let more people in.
so please, dont think only about yourself.

Before the DevForum required read time, it used a quiz for acceptance. People who were actually contributive passed, and those who could not pass would look it up on YouTube, unfortunately.
If you could suggest another possible solution to this issue, it would be great discussing about it.

Had to bump this, as some stupid questions pop up in random categories from the same person
EDIT: What’s even worse is that he is a regular

While I do agree with you, keep in mind I am an actual developer (albeit a bad one at that) and it took almost a year from me joining the forum to be able to post.

The time it takes to post depends on how you use the forum. More read time means you join faster.

Ah yes, the glorious days when the DevForum was private and even when you could join it took a while before you could actually post anything… I miss them too.

just ban every user who joined after august 2020, easy enough
and then famous devs can go back to yelling at each other in dev discussion

OP’s post is referring to people like you, ironically enough.
Although I wouldn’t say the forum is completely in ruins to the point it’s unusable, there are a lot of pointless posts being made that contribute nothing to the conversation.
As for the fact that any developer, no matter the experience or size, can come on here and ask for help, I believe it’s a good thing. Sure with it being open for everybody it will lure in a bunch of trolls, but those who are genuinely here to get help with no intent to cause any harm, deserve to have such an option.

Yep, I’m aware of that fact.
Maybe more strictly enforcing rules in #development-discussion and making sure “Topics should contribute something to developers” and making sure topics “should be from the perspective of a developer, not a player” would also help. I feel like the relaxed atmosphere of #development-discussion has led some posters to be misled into thinking that its a lounge or chatroom. (See also this post from 2020, although it appears to talk mainly about post approval)

Yeah, I definitely feel like #development-discussion specifically is lacking in its guidelines and specifications. There was a post from 2014 that I managed to get moderated somehow by linking it. It was incredibly off topic.

The amount of people that can’t take a harmless joke is sad.

It’s fine to crack a joke here and there in your post, but if your entire post isn’t in any way contributive or helpful to the topic, it’s pretty useless to do so.
Afterall this isn’t the Roblox Forums reincarnated, devforum serves with the purpose of sharing developers’ opinions, views on certain topics and so on.
Again, a harmless joke every once in a while is fine, but the OP you replied to used to have troll topic(s) posted which are now deleted.
