The forum is producing a lot of spam right now

You can still message DevRel about the issue or create a support ticket. You just can’t post publicly for other players to see. I’m still a member (after 3.5 years lol) and have gotten all my bug reports across with ease.

And wait 28 days for them to reply?

Yes. I imagine they have a lot on their plate. Yes, bug reports on the DevForum may get seen quicker, but yours will be seen eventually. If it’s really that pressing, you can also ask a friend who is a regular to post it (this is not against the rules as long as they are not monetizing their privilege)

This would be very stressful on staff, and probably not the best idea…

But my suggestion would be for users who have not had the “Member” rank for a certain number of days (or users who aren’t a Regular+) to have their Development Discussion go through moderation process before going public. Everyone would still be able to post in the topic, however, if you don’t meet the proper requirements you would have to go through a check.

It could prevent a lot of spam, however, it would be stressful.

I realized that the solution had become outdated after new solutions had come up (e.g. Platform usage support, reverting the description back to “the art of making things” and adding more specifications on what is a good DD post) and the decrease of lounge like posts that had came up.

Have you seen the current topics in Developer Discussion? Too many members posting topics there that usually get flagged for the right reason.

I believe DD deserves to be closed for a bit to sort out the clutter.

I just think there have been too many posts that aren’t development discussion, not really spam, I think OP’s should be able to delete replies under their post as a way to fix that.

That would be heavily abused, either just for the sake of it, or to silence opposing opinions.

Another topic to show why this needs to be closed. The rule clearly states don’t mini mod and don’t make posts that don’t contribute.

I believe there are many such topics. And yes, this one is also considered as spam. Getting on forum is easy now, especially if people cracked way to get in. But however, I think application aren’t best way to get in. There must be done something with #development-discussion mainly.

Bruh I just had an idea! There is nothing wrong with posting a idea! Also it isn’t spam because there is only one of that post. I was going to model the hat but I wasn’t on my pc at the time! Its very hurtful for targeting people and reported there post just because they have an idea. I was mad when my thing got taken down because I took the time to though about that idea and right it down!

I am not telling you to have ideas. I also didn’t target people just like that. I did my best in keeping the forum clean so it’s easy for people to search something. What you were talking about is NOT related to #development-discussion and was more related to #lounge:roblox-discussion.

Then how come this 2021 Visor ideas whitch is mine! Witch never got taken down. It is similar to the birthday item idea but that one got taken down. I tried to even set it up like that to so it wouldn’t be spam and not be taken down.

That is because you had posted in the correct category, showing your creations in #help-and-feedback:cool-creations
EDIT: Didn’t notice a Community Editor had changed the category of our post.

Oh then I need to add the models then. I will make them in the morning and retype my idea and put them in the correct category. I think there should be a limited to developer discussion like 2 post a day instead of disabling it for none to use.

2 posts a day is still a lot, considering the number of members in this forum.

Maybe 1 then? How many members are there anyway?

Oh I never knew that there were so many people. I wish roblox never removed the old forum, so I use the one on brick hill instead.

I think that moderators are handling it perfectly.
