Any updates regarding the new roles?
I think it would be good to implement a system for checking posts before sending them for spam, profanity, etc. A similar function is implemented in the well-known Steam platform. Before showing the message to everyone, the system checks it for words prohibited on the platform, and during this check the text of his post is replaced with âThis post is under verification by our system. In a few minutes, the contents of the post will be checked and become avaliable".

To add on, he canât even post in his OWN group. He canât view the wall, canât post in it, and not even do a group shout. What the hell.
Awful. This update ruins the safe environment and community we have created across 5 years in our now 5,000 strong autism and disability support group. Thanks so much Roblox.

Classic roblox. Removes features with 0 alternatives and takes over 2 years to give us substitutes for what they broke. Did this literally happen with user ads under 13 last year and were still waiting? Same with charts being removed even when genres are not done yetâŚ

So, if I am reading this right, Roblox simultaneously believes in the following:
-
Group walls are too unsafe for children
-
Players of all ages, including children, will be able to post on group forums
In what world does this make any logical sense?
Forums, when they are released, will essentially be an upgraded and modernized replacement of the group wall. With that fact in mind, they are sure to bring all the baggage that they had with them. The most dangerous group walls are either completely unmoderated or moderated by users who are outright trying to break the rules, and that wonât simply stop when the Forum Upgrade comes out; in fact, Iâd prepare for it to get worse.
I mean, come on, man. At least try to make it make sense.

Yeah, something like what youtube does where you can search for specific comments or block keywords would be useful
I took my like away from the post and added it to yours so I can see you Ratio Roblox for their poor judgement in not adding this feature long before.

You are correct. Roblox needs to do something good for once.

Controversy? Embarrassed by their past?

Please consider this decade-long feature request alongside your groups refresh:
As community and roleplay group developers, our experiences are often based around group membership and group roles. If a new player joins our game and wants to participate, they often have to join a group to access or participate in a relevant way within the experience.
After a decade or, we still have to tell our players to leave our game, join a roblox group on the website or app, and then rejoin the game. As you can expect, this is an unnecessary friction point for player onboarding and can often lose us the recurring user.

I can see where this is going, but I donât think the whole restriction for only users up to 13+ will really fix much of the problems with the group walls. Moderating the group walls will still be a problem even with restricting access to only older users.

Make your own feedback GUI in-game and have it send any submitted responses to a discord hook in your discord server for player feedback.
Since youâre finally updating groups to a more useful and modern framework, which i fully support, it would be splendid if you used this opportunity to address the spamming and copypastas and scams that make up for 99.9% of all wall posts. Here are my suggestions for how we can address this:
- Ability to ban users from groups, preventing them from simply rejoining after exile
- Adding an opt-in feature of requiring moderator(group owners) approval before the submitted post actually appears on the wall the way we see on facebook communities and reddit etc
- Removing wall posts all together, and leaving just the group announcements that we have now, realistically its pointless, it needs to become a proper forum like on reddit or just do away with it completely, the way it is now, even if fixed, nobody will really use it

Sums it up pretty much from one of my members.
What a brilliant update, slashing tight communities apart.
Robloxâs incompetent moderation results in everyone else suffering.

Oooh yes very cool. Looking forward to this and the many useful features to come on the platform.
My friend is unable to see in his group wall, which results in less communication with people who are in the group, and/or like the games that are currently in development.
Screenshot in his end:
Just because theyâre under 13 doesnât mean they donât have good ideas or that their ability to be heard should be removed. If there are problems in the groups it should be the responsibility of the group owners. I feel bad younger players can no longer have a voice in how their favorite games are improved and developed. This almost seems cruel. Youâre taking away their voice.
