After viewing the petition for a new ambassador program I decided to create this thread which is a revised version that reduces the number of flaws seen in the other idea.
The scars of the Ambassador Program are still seen on the internet, the number of spam advertisements is astronomical, many pc gaming forums had to blacklist ROBLOX due to the spam they received from ROBLOX Users, this is why it would not work to simply bring back the Ambassador Program.
So, my idea is you have apply to gain access to this Referral Scheme much like you have to apply to be a Wiki Writer or apply to gain access to the ROBLOX Dev site. This application would ask questions such as 'Where will you post your advertisements?', 'What is your experience with advertising?'. Of course, people can lie then abuse this system but due to the application feature there wouldn't been hundreds of thousands of users to monitor. There'd be a small number and abusers would lose the feature.
When it comes to marketing, I like to think I know what I'm talking about as I was probably the only pre-teen to act/volunteer as Head Marketer of a pretty large website and even though currently I'm taking a break after been in the hospital I will soon be returning to the marketing scene and I'd love a new ROBLOX Referral Scheme to home my skills because contrary to popular belief it's actually harder to gain members to large established sites than small sites because for the most everyone who is interested in the site has already found it but I believe a ROBLOX Referral Scheme would squeeze out the rest of the people that would love to join a site like ROBLOX that haven't.
How it would work? I'd propose that for the most it'd work like the ambassador program with you earning tickets on your links and such but there'd be rules of where to promote.
I'd suggest these be the rules: • When promoting on online forums the link must be in the appropriate section and you must make sure you have read the rules and are allowed to promote.
• On social networks you MUST NOT create new accounts just to promote your ROBLOX Links. Using multiple social network accounts is allowed but creating new ones in order to create more links is disallowed.
• Do not spam blog comments, youtube videos, forums or any other type of site with your advertisement.
For every member that signs up from your links you should earn tickets too but to stop people signing up via alts the following requirements should be met: • Email verified. • Not using the same IP as your own account. • User must be active (maybe after x number of hours of playing time?)
Obviously, the application system would get rid of most abusers and only people who know how to advertise properly would be left and I would say there are quite a lot of ROBLOX Users who are good at promoting.
Do you support a ROBLOX Referral Scheme? If so, then reply stating your support and bring this thread to the attention of the ROBLOX Team (without annoying them). |

| I just feel like been good at marketing has no purpose right now at ROBLOX, anyone can use the advertising system or spam some comments to earn place visits but a referral scheme would provide an alternate way to earn tickets that takes real skill. |

| tl;dr ROBLOX should implant an application only ambassador program that only allows a limited number of participants to stop abuse of the system. |
