As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to see what rank someone has in a group when they post in the group wall.
I would love if the group rank was displayed somewhere in the post. It could look similar to how the forum shows what group you’re in (if you choose to display it.)
Adding this would improve QoL and improve the current system by a lot.
Say you want to find out what rank someone has for whoever just posted for whatever reason. It would work similar to trying to find out what groups someone on the forum is in, except with many more variables.
-
Click on the poster to see their profile, view their groups, find the group you’re looking for, and see what rank it says they have. This would increase in difficulty if the user had joined many groups.
-
Use the dropdown to see what rank someone is in. This is especially tedious for groups with many members or many ranks. You’ll have to scroll through many pages and many ranks before finding the rank they are currently in.
Use cases:
-
A member of your group wants to rank up/down, but you don’t know their current rank. You’ll have to either ask them and trust the honor system, or go through the process above.
-
Highlighting important messages from high ranks, such as administrators.
-
The contrary, making sure new members aren’t fooled by someone who says they’re an administrator.
…And every other situation in which knowing a user’s rank would be useful.
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because users would be able to quickly find a group wall poster’s rank.
