I got to thinking, I want to contribute to real-life charities.
Here is how I see it:
ROBLOX has a select amount of recognized charities, like Make-A-Wish, Reach Out WorldWide, etc. If you group has earned enough funds, you can use DevEx and cash out, and instead of the money going to the user, it goes to the real charity.
I say a select number of charities so people don't run a "charity" called "Donate group 100K so I can become rich" and cash out the group's funds and go to the guys pocket.
I know ROBLOX will never find every charity in the world, so if someone has a charity they would like to donate to, the user can suggest it to ROBLOX and they can research the charity to make sure it is legit, then if they feel it is legit, they can add it to the list.
That way, people could create a group in honor of the real life chariy and actually send the funds to the charity.
You may be wondering how these people are going to get this much money, first thing, ROBLOX could lower the minimum cash pay-out to $50, this only meaning 50,000 R$ needed to be earned. Then groups can use the Trade Currency to exchange their 10,000 TIX to R$. Also, if a really rich guy is feeling generous, they could donate a large sum to the group.
Just a suggestion, I randomly thought of this while talking to the homeless guy at Welcome to Venezia, don't know why. Please support this, so users can support charities!
Also, before it gets said, here is a question that is bound to come in:
Can't users just use the normal DevEx and just send their donations in to the charity? Yes, they can, but there are people who want to contribute to charities, but maybe only have a couple hundred R$, it is better then nothing! |

This doesn't get around the OBC limit. Maybe all users can do it? Support, though.

@Potato, Yeah, I always forget to proofread xD
@mralex, I agree, for all members, including those with no Builder's Club, because the owner could have lost Builder's Club, or to not run any bad risks, former Builder's Club. |

| Very nice. I am in full support of this suggestion. I am sure it was unintentional, but the classical argument style was a thumbs up from me. |

ROBLOX isn't a game about charity, this is just unnecessary.

@growlithe99,
ROBLOX isn't a game about charity, you are right. But there are some people who want to donate their money to something that it won't get wasted on, like someone saying they will buy a hat but really buy a worthless gear. I know that if this feature comes out I will be right there to donate to the charities.
---
Also, another idea I have for this is a charity vote. Say, when the group earns enough money to cash-out, the owner, or whoever, can decide weather or not to have a vote on where the money goes. Then, the members could vote on where it goes.
It could have a time limit on how long to vote on it, so then at the end of that time, the money is sent off to the charity.
---
One more idea is if someone wants to donate all of their R$, say they have 312 R$, and they want 0 in the end. Instead of relying on someone to make an item in the store 312 R$, they can just enter their price somewhere and their money goes to the group.
Or say someone has 12,948 R$, but they want to donate a random number like 3,384, they could enter that amount somewhere and donate it. |
