I am really getting annoyed by these “developers” creating discussion and ruining the purpose of the DevForum. I’m sure many more people are annoyed by it and this is enough.
Regular-only seems most reasonable. “Not sure” is for those uncertain, but I think the best option would be to make it regular-only in the meantime, and until DevRel implements the replacement for post approval, members can post in #development-discussion through that process.
Just make it so you can make a development disscussion topic once a day for members and if your post gets flagged then you cant post in development disscussion for a whole week.
Note this is for members not for higher ranks.
You shouldn’t remove it. That’s too harsh, because there are some good posts in there. I think it should be made Regular Only, because you’re right, there are loads of spam posts with no points. I saw a post, saying that Dev Rel won’t make it regular only again. When it was regular-only, there were much less posts. But they were high quality.
This. Even some sages themselves have said that #development-discussion was “one of the remaining places containing consistently high quality information and discussion” and “the last frontier of the forum that still has a consistently higher signal-to-noise ratio in discussions compared to the rest of the forum”.
The less posts there were, the more value each one had. Now that is gone.
Yes, even adding a post-approval system can end up with some posts not being so-high quality. There are lots of stupid suggestions in #platform-feedback:website-features that have no point of being added. Locking it to regulars seems the best option. If not, then it should be made Post-Approval. But it should be made sure that the Posts in #development-discussion are high-quality. Not pointless like some of the feature requests.
I don’t think it needs to be “removed”, just higher restrictions to posting on there, However, some members do make very good discussion topics, but some don’t and use it for silly reasons.
I dislike it how you didn’t put ‘Keep it as is’ as an option to pick from.
I think it shoud be regluar again too, but give people more options.
(Sorry for my HORRIBLE spelling)
To be a resource for Roblox developers, of course. But when we get topics like “have you memorized your user ID” or “what is your dream limited item” or (spoiler: topic was very insensitive) “have you considered suicide because your game failed” that isn’t very resourceful.
No? This is the developer forum. There is a legacy category #lounge but like mentioned it is legacy, you really can’t expect to find anything resourceful there.
if anything a general discussion category would worsen things.
