Updated process for achieving "Regular" on the DevForum

[AwesomePossum212]

One of the newly promoted full members actually created 0 topics. Not sure if that means anything, or if there are other criteria that can take the place of topics created?

@GoldyyDev

does your posts and topics count matter in this automated process?

@Lilly_S

Q: What is the specific criteria for automated promotion to Member?
A: We will not be stating the exact numbers or criteria needed to receive the Member role automatically as we don’t want to encourage any attempts at gaming the system.

[DevJanick]

If your grammer or your English sentences aren’t very good. You also have a lower chance of becoming a member or does that not matter a lot?

Or if you’re a member since it happens kinda automatically based on your activity and moderation actions. And your grammer isn’t very good or English sentences, you have a chance of getting back to ‘New Member’ because of that?

[Veesom (Vee)]

This system will defiantly allow more developers to work more efficiently with the forums.

Regarding your first question, I suggest grammar checking your posts and threads before posting if your English is really bad. Judging from your English in this question, you should be okay.

To answer your second question:

@Lilly_S

Q: Will Members who do not meet the automatic promotion criteria be demoted to New Member?
A: No, nobody will lose their membership status as a result of this change.

Perfect! Thanks very much for this!
The previous system was little bit confusing. Now it is all clear!

[ConnectedGamer5]

I’m so excited for anyone who gets in through this new system! Good luck everyone!

Roblox is an international platform, if you cannot speak very good English, you will not have roadblocks placed. In general, you should use a spellchecker to make sure your posts make sense to other members and help contribute to the discussion.

If you speak a language, you might want to check out the #international section for that language!

@ElliottLMz

If you speak a language, you might want to check out the #international section for that language!

Only disadvantage is that you can’t post in any of the languages than the ones that have their own categories.

[Automationeer (Eleanor)]

I’m sorry, do you mind rephrasing your post, it’s not making much sense to me.

[CleverSource]

He is saying that you can only speak the languages that are specified in the #international category.

[Pyrotenics]

Finally a new change, I felt like handpicking members would be a slow system but now its automatic. Great to see roblox making a lot of awesome changes lately!

[Automationeer (Eleanor)]

That’s kind of the point of it. @Krunnie

[Bwead_z]

This is great! I’m really looking up to this!

@Lilly_S

Active developers who consistently and appropriately use the Developer Forum will be eligible for automatic promotion. These promotions are not awarded easily, and one must be in good moderation standing within the Developer Forum to be promoted. We have carefully chosen the automation criteria with fairness and reason in mind.

What happens if you have been flagged a lot?

[Wingz_Avard (Avard)]

This has largely already been addressed with past replies, and within the OP.

@Lilly_S

In addition, forum leadership will periodically review every New Member who is close to meeting the criteria but has a forum moderation history preventing their promotion. If it is determined that they have been consistently active and their moderation is reasonably outdated, that user will be promoted. This means you can still get promoted even if you have a moderation history.

@buildthomas

A thread getting unlisted in itself is not going to add to your forum history, a moderator has to actually agree to a flag. (but they may in addition to agreeing to a flag also unlist the thread, of course)
