ROBLOX need to hold scammers on the dev forums more accountable

No solution will be “fast enough” because moderation is manual here.

Posts calling others out and detracting from a thread, regardless of its content, is not appropriate to post on public threads. Disputes need to be solved in private. If you are looking to hire, then it falls upon you to determine how you vet people you’re looking to hire. Situations like this are strongly your own weight to bear and no one can be held responsible for you failing to check and verify your sources.

I think using the word “attack” in this scenario is far-fetched. It’s simply not appropriate to post this kind of content on a public thread. Helpful posts are always welcome on Collaboration threads, calling out is not helpful, it’s disrespectful. See the thread I linked; we allow negative criticism so long as it is constructive and of services offered to you. Saying “X stole my work” is not constructive criticism, it is just negative criticism.

Calling out is not constructive because you are not contributing anything to the discussion, you are only ridiculing the OP. That behaviour is not acceptable anywhere on the forums. You don’t fight disrespect with disrespect; you can solve the dispute privately. You can also take your own steps to vet the work of others?

It’s starting to become very blurry as to what you’re trying to get at here since there’s been many points merged around and changed. Your points unclear and disjointed. From what I’ve gotten:

  • Developer Engagement should hold everyone in Collaboration accountable for what they’re doing. This isn’t even a viable solution with the resources currently at hand. What does “holding accountable” even look like in this case?
  • Reviews should be allowed to be posted on people’s portfolios even if they’re negative. We already allow this? Just be constructive, not ridiculing. Putting down other users is not okay and do remember that we have a lot of young users here.
  • You disagree with the rules, but haven’t given clear feedback as to how we can improve on the rules and where they are falling off; one or the other is missing.

I hope I don’t come off as rude when I say this, but this thread’s playing out like a bait and switch.
