I don’t think this is a problem because you have over 100,000 members. Every group would suffer if what you are worried about happened to them. Most groups in-fact are more active (Going to group places and such) than larger clans such as yours, and would likely be more affected even.

Your suggestion is valid, but I disagree in having such a complex system. Ownership should just be passed to the next highest in the clan (player who has been in the clan’s second highest rank the longest).
The threat of termination (and thereby loss of a group) acts as a deterrent for bad behavior from group leaders.
Unfortunately, you’ll also find groups who use alts who hold the group due to their owners being terminated regularly… [/quote]
The threat of termination shouldn’t carry more weight over group leaders than other ROBLOX players.
I’m not sure if you meant your last sentence as pertaining to the future or present, but you’ll find it in both - I don’t think any of these systems would be much more susceptible to abuse than the current “Make Owner” feature.
I think it’d have an equal impact on any group worth noting. Obviously, this isn’t a big issue for small groups that haven’t been posted in since 2009 - this is aimed towards current groups regardless of size, but especially effects the ones that are more well-known. Activity isn’t really a way of determining how well-known a group is - there really is no way of gauging a group’s popularity. Regardless, it’d suck to have this happen to any group and I don’t really want to see any more of it in the future.

Even though I do not own a war clan, or even active group, I do see the benefit of having this system. Many players are involved in group activities. To have one mistake of accidental termination can impact the entire group. The entire active community then lose interest in the group, then lose interest in ROBLOX.

This is like someone dies with something they want to pass on a legacy. Makes sense I think it should be added
Not meaning to necro, but don’t want to be called out for creating a thread for an existing topic. Groups aren’t being looked into with features and this is still a relevant problem.
The amount of groups that are utilizing the group games feature is high, as well as various other groups that have some form of product sales. There are also large clans and communities.
If the owner of the group is terminated for a misunderstanding or otherwise reason, the group becomes abandoned and the owner can’t pass it off to someone trusted or another account. Some random with BC can nab the group and many hundreds of thousands of Robux can be lost, and the games (if it’s a studio or has any games) can be stolen (to which Roblox will reply with something along the lines of not giving group game access, when you didn’t do it intentionally).

With things like group funds and group games, it is potential to completely steal someone’s income if this happens for some freak reason (like the current plugin fiasco). I own a game with 2 million visits. I don’t want people to start selling the place file for hundreds of dollars to people who think they can make as much money as I did.
If this behavior is kept, it should at least be after the appeal period.

Yeah, totally agree, its very scary right now with people getting moderated for ridiculous things, then having this issue. I’m almost scared to even work on my game right now because of it.

Definitely support, seriously hoping this moderation stuff gets sorted out soon.

Groups should be locked when the owner is terminated.

I feel like it would be better if only the next rank down should be able to claim the group that way some of the more trusted members can become the owner in an emergency.
(Of course if the group is empty anyone can claim)

The sheer thought of something like this happening to me, literally makes me want to vomit. They do not know how long, and how frustrating the development work I have done for my group and games that are for other’s entertainment have been. This never should’ve been an option to begin with, and should be fixed immediately.

Major support, why have an appeal period if you’re going to release the users assets immediately?
Especially now adays where almost all developers have their games hosted in a group, with all of the income going to the group, this is something that should seriously be changed ASAP.
At the very least, give them the appeal period to keep ownership.

This is ridiculous. Groups are not something you inherit when someone gets terminated. The group has a rightful owner and roblox has no place redistributing the group, no matter what happens to the owner.

Well the other side to that is a group becoming useless once the owner is banned. It should have some way to transfer owner/be reclaimed but not by opening it to the fastest clicker.

you know what is every more ridiculous? having almost 2k USD stolen from you
roblox should either lock group ownership or hand down the group to the next highest ranking member
having that much money be stolen that easily is unacceptable

It is more of a way to keep random users from claiming the group, this way the terminated owner doesn’t have to worry if it was someone that they know or trust.

Why not just don’t give it to anyone?

I think terminated users should get to keep their groups, unless they have been fully terminated, meaning their appeal was declined.

I agree, I’ve gotten my account back after being falsely deleted but I couldn’t get all my group name snipes back. I don’t think they should be given away at all though, it’s basically a lottery after a user is deleted where you can claim a group potentially worth millions
