4 of my 5 recently moderated replies (from this year, the last one before that was august 2024) have been by 1 specific moderator. This is getting outrageous.
Topic: what is your best and worst user feedback you have received on your game My reply:
The moderation on the forum (ignoring the dumpster fire of roblox itself…) has to be checked out. I will not state who the moderator is, for obvious reasons
I will however say the moderator is new, joining in September 2024
Appeals have also been completely useless, unsurprisingly (EDIT: my latest moderated reply has successfully been appealed, after being moderated by that moderator as Necrobumping)
Not sure this is the best category for this, but not category really fits my topic, so please move this thread if it should be elsewhere
I’m my game I have a feedback system, so people can send messages to me, and those messages are then stored on my local computer. I don’t filter them because only I see them
That filtered message was sent by someone, to me (it’s anonymous so idk who it is, and I don’t care)
I my reply on the forum probably did not get moderated because of that, since I took the time to filter the words, and #development-discussion is closed to non forum members, so the rules about vulgarity are more relaxed
If you think I wrote that reply in 1 second, it actually took some time to write. If you did not noticed, I made little categories for every kind of reply and sorted the logs into each category. I copy and pasted individual lines (those that aren’t filtered)
The linked thread was a valid takedown, no idea what you’re going on about here
You really didn’t need to put those sentences in your (quoted) reply. You know exactly which two I’m talking about, especially one of them. Would that be enough to deserve a reply removal? I don’t think so, especially considering DD is a locked category, but mods probably decided to be cautious.
All the removals were probably only by 1 moderator because I can only ever see like 3-4 mods maximum who actually do anything, so it’s not a case of you being targeted it’s literally that there are no other mods on here.
If no* category really fits my topic then maybe it doesn’t actually belong on the devforum? Have you considered that before posting?
The message from the moderator goes about replies that don’t contribute to the topic, or aren’t significant. I think it’s clear that my reply was very much on topic. If there is something wrong (in the sense that my reply is not “serious”), it’s about the topic itself (and I guess that was the case, but that is another story, also about how the rules of #development-discussion are vague or don’t actually seem to matter, as threads following those rules still end up locked, see this idiocy)
The first one, yeah it’s something. I thought, and still think it’s filtered enough and not problematic. However, the moderation notice doesn’t talk about it at all, so I doubt that’s it.
I really do not know what is the second sentence you are referring to, unless it’s the “I like boys”, but I don’t see how that is offensive?? That one I find particularly funny, as it’s so random
You mean this very thread? If it doesn’t belong on the devforum, then it doesn’t belong anywhere, and so that means just letting the forum devolve into a moderation hellscape. If you are asking me to zip it, I will promptly ignore you
That’s what I mean, even if you didn’t write it, you still put up some vulgar content on the forum with no purpose but to highlight the vulgar content people send you.
