There can be a separate filter for verified users and 13+. 13+ would obviously have to be done with traditional verification.
A bot can’t develop so I don’t see this as being a big issue in regards to the TalentHub hiring process.

Yes, but that is what you referenced in your initial reply. “Verification only tells you that the player your hiring is a real person”
That is already kind of what the Verified filter does. It shows people who are known to be over 13.
A bot cannot apply for jobs on the TalentHub (at least to my knowledge), so even if a verified user were to do this it won’t really impact anyone.
If an employer wants 13+ developers, they can select a 13+ filter. But there can be a separate verification that lets them know the player is a human (OP’s point).
I think that requiring a person to have devexed cash is dumb. Most people go on the TalentHub to get money, not to help people with the kindness of their heart. If everyone on the TalentHub has devexed cash before, then that means all of them would be pretty successful developers, meaning the TalentHub wouldn’t be very useful, since those developers have a system in place that already works, so if you tried to be commissioned by someone, those people who you want to commission to would already have a system that works well enough that they devexed robux. If someone needs another person to work for them, maybe because one of their developers quit, there wouldn’t be many people on the TalentHub to help them, since they all ready have developers themselves, so there isn’t that big of a reason to have an extra job, that may also be fulltime, like the job you’re doing right now.
If you have devexed some robux, then you should be a trusted / verified member.
But I do agree that the TalentHub should have some restrictions, more so than what we have now.
The best scenario for the Talent Hub would be to remove the “verified” status and ID verification all together. Roblox forgot what it meant for a user to be verified a long time ago, and contrary to what Roblox thinks, “verified” does not mean safe or reliable.
ID verification is an effective measure to ensure a user is real, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the reliability of a developer, which is the way Roblox is using it as. Although I do like some of your suggestions, they won’t work out, for example:
Adds an unnecessary paywall to get access to Talent Hub features. Paying for robux does not immediately make anyone trustworthy.
ID verification has always been required for DevEx; wouldn’t make a difference.
These requirements can help indicate top developers, but will developers who haven’t yet reached these requirements need to be forced to only see verified users?
So let’s say that I make ten alt accounts today, and I never touch them. In one year from now, I would have ten verified accounts…

to be honest, i doubt there’s someone dedicated enough to wait a year to get verified.
also, the point you decided to bring up here is indeed flawed, im not saying it isn’t. there could be an easy work around of this where a player just gets an old alt account of theirs and uses it.
How would Roblox know?
This, I have argued over having the verification icon changed from a shield for this reason alone since it clearly does not show trust for that person.
this could be one of the verification options (i am talking that your user had done one of the ideas, not having to devex cash)
I think this shows that the user is confident in adding their legal information, committed to the platform.
I don’t think all developers agree to giving Roblox their id, considering literally the most popular job site (Freelancer) doesn’t ask people for id verification. I did find some people not liking the idea of id verification so I wanted to make a post that brings more attention. And in the post (Introducing Talent Hub Open Beta - New Platform to Find & Post Work!) people are liking the idea of “Talent Hub” not “ID Verification.” (or certainly not talking about id verification but discussing stuff about talent hub)

I think you can by playtime activity. Not sure if that exists but you can check how many times they clicked / inputed.
Roblox doesn’t track every action users do in every game on their platform; that would be a waste of resources.
Yeah I know. But it is possible, the creator can do it themselves. Just listen for a mouse click or input began and reset a timer or something. If it reaches a certain time, reset or kick them. ROBLOX already has one, but it can be done.
This is an AFK kicker, not a bot detector. There is a major difference between the two.
This isn’t related to my original point.
Sometimes a bot just stands there and does nothing. A player would
However, sometimes a regular player just does nothing too. This would be a false positive. And sometimes bots do move / cluck, this would be a false negative.
I know. I wasn’t requesting it to be added I was just adding a possible method. I don’t know, I’m not a expert.
I also like to add, verified does not mean mature. My talent hub recommendations is literally filled with non mature people
nah collaboration should be back instead
