I mean it really wouldn’t be strict… knowing how DevRel operates, you’d end up with a warning that affects literally nothing for engaging with a troll. All the OP and people agreeing with him want is a space fully dedicated to development that doesn’t combust on itself whenever someone decides to attention seek in this space every 3 days.

If you’re not a developer and aren’t interested in developing UGC on Roblox, you shouldn’t be on the forums. None of this is “over strict”, you’re reacting too much over a simple problem that needs to be dealt with. If that means that “developers” leave the forums that’s okay with me. This is a forum for developers who are interested in learning and doing Roblox development. This is what the forum should cater to, not Roblox Forum 2.0.
I’m sorry that too many people make the environment worse by allowing people to make trolls become a spectacle and that people feel that’s it’s okay to egg them on and make it worse by replying.
I’d like DevRel to do the simple task of asking people to not make the problem worse. I understand that you have a long history with this problem.
The thing is that people regularly talk out of their bottoms about topics they don’t know about and so spread misinformation. A vast vast majority of people who talk about how Roblox moderation is bad doesn’t understand how to moderate at scale.
Adding this rule wouldn’t change any of that. People are going to talk out of their bottom about moderation or any number of topics. It’s a nonpoint. That and we’re talking about forum moderation and not platform moderation which are two separate departments.

“Punishment” will never fix anything.
What could be done is more automatically limitations such as cooldown time or amount of posts a day, so spamming and trolling becomes more difficult, and people will consider twice before doing it.
If a troll made a weird topic in Discussion or something, and a person told him “Please don’t put it here, it belongs more to [category] and plus, the question is very off-topic to development.”
I don’t see an issue, it doesn’t impact any of us.
This would heavily go against what you and your friends here advocate for. Like, what if a DM with clients would take up all of your limit and you have issues you need to ask around to find solutions to? This wouldn’t scale well especially since there are issues with some people complaining about the fact that their likes are being limited due to them misusing the forum in the first place.
Actively having a rule and ways of enforcement that can be escalated as needed is really the only solution here. We’re at a scale where waiting for people to realize that just flagging a post and moving on to better things isn’t feasible anymore. Honestly, we wouldn’t even have this issue if people didn’t engage in screaming matches with trolls the first place anyway…
Funny you bring it up cus there is a rule that prohibits people from doing that. I guess you haven’t touched the rules section at all?

That’s true.
You didn’t have to try to start an argument 
Solution for no problem.
I don’t find any issues, don’t be so sensitive, just ignore.
Full support for this! 100%. I can’t stand how people respond to trolls and give them what they want.

I’m not trying to start an argument. I am just proving a point here. I’m not being sensitive either, I just want some form of order for a resource that I actively use as a developer. You might not find any issues with this but I do. Let’s just agree to disagree here.
