i did make a thread that has the same topic as yours and det just locked and hid it. give up on hoping moderation will fix man
the proof that they didn’t do anything regarding this is the spam posts we see now.
I do agree there is an issue with the dev forum (specifically dev discussion) but I do not have the answer to solving it. I definitely think adding a system similar to what @Dede_4242 suggested would help but it wouldn’t solve it entirely.
I don’t think people should be chasing popularity on the forums as that is not what it’s for. The dev forum is a social platform, but not in the same way other social platforms are. The dev forum is meant for developers to communicate and learn about Roblox development not get x amount of likes, replies, and views. If that’s what your after, the dev forum isn’t the place to do that.

I agree with this, but from the topic of the post it seemed that the OP was trying to get Forum popularity, wanting more views and replies.

He meant that for some strange reason troll posts get ~300 replies in 2 hours while topics where people need help get 10 replies in 20 hours
I agree with you, I think that if you want a true topic on this issus then @IWasTaked0 should search not for opinions but for solutions it’s just really logic that people don’t like spam and we all know the problem but now we need to find solutions to fix it !
EDIT : @Dede_4242 have one !
Have a nice day and sorry for my bad english !

The only solution I can think of is when a certain topic gets flagged enough times it’ll get unlisted/locked until a moderator reviews it

Yes, it’s for me the best solution to fix the issue for the moment !
I would also add like a leaderboard of topic who get bumped I mean there should be a button to bump the topic if you find it interesting and not solved so in the leaderboard there would be only not solved topics and interesting ones !

Yes. 20+ people are not enough.

I did not see your topic. Still, these mods will still be awful and let the spam reign for hours.
Just flag the post. No need to dwell on the issue. If you’re getting annoyed or angry at the trolls making the spam posts, you’re giving them exactly what they want.
I made the same mistake, and eventually realized my mistake and
The solution is simple: Flag the topic and it eventually get taken down. Don’t reply to the topic.
If the temptation to reply is too much, what I did was completely mute the #development-discussion category (which is where most , if not all the spam topics are created) from my forum feed so I no longer see posts. You can do this in your settings:

I flag and notify the mods like 999 times, and they take this late? Their vacation is important 
I am gonna take your advice though. I am gonna take the replying advice too. But, Roblox needs more than 25 staff members for this job.

The reason the troll/spam posts get so much traction is because people make the mistake of replying to the topic.
It’ll get taken down eventually. That’s what matters.
Great choice.

Well, thank you, replying is tempting, they really need to step up their moderation too lol. Your post/reply is a great solution.

Another way is to simply mute the topic and flag it so the whole #development-discussion doesbt get muted, simply go, flag it, and mute it, and yes I understood that errror too

This is just what happens when the floodgates are opened for masses of unvetted children to join the forum. Not everybody here is interested in development and low quality posts are rarely moderated properly. Every day this place becomes more akin to an attention-seeking platform like Reddit.
I don’t use the forum anymore for this reason. It’s no longer a useful investment of my time and I don’t think Roblox cares enough to improve moderation or the forum as a whole considering every complaint like this seems to fall on deaf ears.

It is undeniable that the forum has lots of room for improvement.
I have not quit the forum because the trolls haven’t reached the other categories like #help-and-feedback. Yet at least.

developer discussion is generally a hotzone for trolls

It would be a pain and suffer to moderate the entire Forum with only 20+ people…
