If we Members are unable to give Studio and Engine feature requests directly without going through Developer Engagement, why should we be allowed such privilege in this category? This would be more balanced.

I think thatâs because the forum is an open place to EVERYONE. So everyone should be able to post their concerns and ideas to the forum.

Because ROBLOX should take all membersâ feedback/requests. If they limit it to higher ranks, there will be less good suggestions when it comes to Feature requests.
The forum is separate to the rest of the Roblox platform.
For whatever reason theyâre happy with us reporting forum bugs / feature requests but as for Roblox itself thatâs restricted to TL2 - both areas are separate.
Edit:
This is most likely correct, and itâs probably the reason why TL1 and TL2 users are treated differently in this regard. I donât see a reason as to why this should be changed; the only issue some TL1 users present is misusing the #forum-feedback categories, but thatâs more or less the same for most categories at this point.

Okay, isnât Roblox Studio open for everyone too?
When talking about bugs and features on the main site, or Studio, youâll need a lot more thecnical info wich memberd ussualy donât know how to provide. (iâm a member). Regulars are much more experienced people.
In the forum, you donât really need such technical knowledge
You got to understand that some members actually post good things, right?

It does takes knowledge to know how to make any sort of suggestion that benefits a community weather it be here on the forums or something related to an engine / studio feature. âExperienceâ is not limited to Forum rank alone. I have over a decade of experience as a developer, yet Iâm a member, unable to have most of my feature / bug reports seen by Developer Engagement private messages. I feel like the same should apply for this section.
Just to clarify, as a Regular myself, your experience as a developer doesnât count to the promotion criteria. TL1 users used to post in Platform Feedback through PA which was discontinued.
Ever since, no alternative has been introduced, but I believe this new Bug Report Wizard will soon be open to everyone - including TL1 users.
Personally, I find this topic as a rant for Platform Feedback being locked down, rather than the thing that youâre requesting on the OP itself.
As it has already been stated above, thereâs a difference between those categories. You need some technical knowledge in Platform Feedback, but I canât tell the same for the forum feedback category. Requests there could even be things such as âLock Development Discussion for TL1 users downâ.
However, in Platform Feedback, you also need to be able to use the Search bar. Youâd be wasting the engineersâ time if you just posted a duplicate topic.

We want the forum to be as open as possible. The current state of bug reports and feature requests categories is undesirable and we have teams working on alleviating those problems. The recent bug reporting wizard is one of the first steps towards a better and more open setup.
Forum Features currently provides a sufficiently high signal so I see no reason to lock this down currently.
In the future please make sure your feature requests are made in good faith and follow the feature request guidelines: About the Forum Features category
