Interesting idea.

#22

Nice

#23

What if you join more than 1? Do you get to choose which one shows next to your name, sort of like a primary group?

It seems this is no longer the case as I now see people with Modeler, Clothing Designer, and Translater next to their names.

Was gonna reply with potential help, but I’m guessing since you withdrew, you figured it out.

#28

Yeah, I didn’t see the posts about there being a page to join groups from.

Yea. That’s why I made this originally was to have a list of hot links to each group.

This is perfect now we know what everyone does :smiley:

This cannot be disabled for non-members, unfortunately. :frowning:

Scripters/Programmers: let’s get a poll going.

Which would you rather identify as in the context of Roblox development?

  • Scripter
  • Programmer

It’s a gray area. I’d call a programmer someone who uses other languages like C variants and JS alongside RbxLua.

A scripter sounds like someone who works soley in RbxLua.

Programmer sounds more “important”. Also, it can include people who code in other languages as @kiansjet said

You’re both right. I changed the question to be a bit more in line with the context.

Perfect.

I love this new update. I think it is a very well needed feature to help distinguish between developers. However, I do think these roles should be given to the user depending on what category they submitted their application in to authenticate things.

#38

Very nice! Helps highlight where we feel our specialty is!

I’m not quite sure how to word this correctly, but a group for someone who does community management/planning events on Roblox would be nice. I don’t know the perfect “word” for that though.

Calling yourself a scripter is downgrading the fact that you’re a programmer.

Like that would look terrible on an resume.

Even autocorrect doesn’t like it:

‘Script’ refers to light code generally running on top of a more sophisticated codebase. In Roblox, this is Lua running on top of C++.

So in the long run, yeah it sounds childish.
The term script kiddie even derives from it.
