Re: 'Claim Group' Feature

I've recently noticed a large number of unclaimed groups. I know for a fact that some people would love to use these group names, but cannot without putting symbols in front, which can be annoying at times. What I thought of was a 'Claim Group' feature. Basically, what it is, is if a group meets certain conditions, then anybody eligible can claim the group. These conditions would be a) it either has no members or b) all members are NBC. A player would be eligible to claim it if he is a) a member of builders club or b) a former member? and c) has enough group space.

But what if I needed group space and had to get rid of a group I own, but wanted it for later? If this is the case, there would be a feature to appoint a 'caretaker', which would usually be an alternate account. The 'caretaker' can give the group back whenever he or she decides to and the player he or she is giving to is eligible.

But what if my Caretaker doesn't give it back? If this is the case, you would be able to request to get the group back from the caretaker by contacting the ROBLOX staff and they would then look at a database which would point to you being the previous owner. Of course, the chances of this problem coming up are slim if you appoint a Caretaker who you can trust or a Caretaker which is an alternate account of yours.

What can a Caretaker do? A caretaker can only appoint a leader of a group. They cannot change the description, accept/decline members, add/change/remove? ranks, or do anything other than appointing a group leader.

Could you sell the group? Theoretically speaking, yes. There is no way of knowing whether or not the offer is legitimate unless the ROBLOX staff were to develop a legitimate means of selling groups. But theoretically speaking, yes, you could sell the group.

Thanks for reading. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them below, I myself will come up with. Thanks for the support in advance.

No support. You can't just take someones group because they have no members or all the members are NBC. They still would have payed 100 robux on it and who knows how much on the ranks.


Think about others not only yourself.

And when you said no member if you meant there is no leader. Then roblox already has that.

No, I meant no members or members who are inactive.
http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=904
The groups only member hasn't been on in a year and the group is request only.
http://www.roblox.com/groups/group.aspx?gid=6618
This group has no members and is request to join.
http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=72323
Same with this.
http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=7232
And here.
http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=72311
Once again here.
Do I have to go on?
Yes, I realize these are horrible groups that nobody would want, but I was just going through random IDs. I used to own a group, but can no longer use it due to it being request only and there are no members in it.

Yes and then abandoned their group and made it request only and didn't allow anyone to join it or didn't keep anyone in it to show they were still using it. Because that isn't rude.
