This was originally posted, created, and supported on the RP Forums.
Dear ROBLOX, We need to start off by claiming something that will be the basis: the admins do not listen to the users. Ever since the Price Floor was installed, the economy, users, and overall site have been in a decline. The reporting of people doesn't do anything, and if it does do something (Read: actually bans someone), it only works temporarily which is NOT what we need. This is being written by a group of people who want ROBLOX to change. It's a game that's entranced many, including ourselves. The main reason for this? A user called 'dadandme456'. This is the Roleplay forums. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We only fight. Our voice will be heard. Let's start off by saying what the problems are with ROBLOX. Mainly, it's the lack of attention given to its users. It seemed to all have started when you implanted the 'Price Floor'. Pretty much instantly, petitions and groups arose to fight this. One of the petitions, probably the biggest one, has over 350 pages of users that are against this. You might think that these are just newbies to ROBLOX who just support it because they can, but many of the comments are reasonable. If you would take a minute and listen to your users, you'd find what the website needs. And one of the biggest things that ROBLOX needs is a better reporting system. This brings us back to the reason for this message, the user called 'dadandme456'. On the Roleplay forums, and most likely on the games as well, he has been flirting with others and ODing in general. He himself has said that 'I get banned for a day because I say swear words'. There are most likely others that are very similar to this user, and all of them are free on ROBLOX. Messages to the admins, reporting, none of this is successful. Without a better system for users, the good users who you encourage to build things, they will die out. That is not the only problem. There are many issues that we haven't addressed here, such as a better forum search system, fixing the 'Comments' on games, and many more that you just don't listen to. In the Forums, there is a whole section about 'Suggestions and Ideas', yet none of these, or at least very few of them, have actually been implemented. The biggest problem with ROBLOX is not the swearing, it's not the copy-ing of clothing, it's the fact that the ROBLOX admins do not listen to their users. This problem needs to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed now. Sincerely, The Roleplaying Forum -alannalypinky -WiFiKing42 -Hydreigons -Vamking12 - -
Forum users, help us get this to ROBLOX. This needs to be heard, and if no one else will do it, then it has to be us. |

OMG Yes! It is True that They Do not really listen to users, there has been times when I've suggested things and so have others, But I bet Not even Half of the Suggestions that robloxians suggested have been Implemented... And The Price floor... You're talking about a real let down.. The price floor has made it harder for us Nbcer's to buy anything... it would make more sense to take it off or at least Lower it so it could be easier for us to buy things... But I do believe that ROBLOX is trying to work diligently towards These Different updates, and we know that it takes time but Like She said, we need our Ideas out there to be made!
*Total Support* Its well Explained with Everything you need to know^^ |

They do listen.
Notice how most features were user suggested:
- DevEx - Dynamic Lighting - 3 hats wearable at a time - ROBLOX mobile - ROBLOX Mac - Terrain
Just to name a few |

| Yes, and I said that. They do listen to a few user suggestions, but they're not fixing the main problems with their site. They're distracting us with there little things, while simultaneously doing worse, not fixing problems, and losing their users. |

You expect them to come out with an update instantly? The things you suggest take a lot of time to make. |

| I agree, partially. Rome wasn't built in one day, but ROBLOX has had many days. They have reasons for doing what they do, but that doesn't mean that they can ignore the users. If they show signs of change, that's really what we need. |

| Well a lot of users are asking for 100 player servers, the recent blogpost showed a picture and said they were definitely working on it. |

About the price floor- Stop whining and deal with it. It's actually a good thing- clothing developers can make more money. It's obvious it's not going away. About the reporting system- I agree, but they only have like 50 people banning and reviewing cases. They probably are going to have to hire some more people to take care of this. |

| Yes, but again, that's a minor thing. We don't need additions, we need changes. |

What do you mean minor addition?
100 player servers is a huge change, to me. |

It is a good thing, and I'm not saying that. but in the big picture? Think about it.
If they do implement 100 player servers, then in a few months, it'll be taken for granted.
If they implement a better forum search system, or a **BETTER REPORTING SYSTEM**, then it will be useful for the entire run of ROBLOX. |

| They don't just randomly ignore users. I'm sure if they could fix the report system (as if its broken or something) then they would do that. |

We have seen no signs of them trying to fix it. They haven't acknowledged the problem, which is the first step to solving it.
The report system is not broken. It works, but the admins ignore it, as far as we know. There needs to be some kind of system that scans each report, checks it for truth, and plans accordingly. |

The report system would be messed up if there wasnt a approver/dissaprover to the reports. Of course there IS a one who does that.
The only thing i can say is 'broken' with the report system is that 10% of people use it, which Roblox cant fix because its the community's problem. |

| Does nobody realize, That they will NEVER Remove the price floors, Have you ever thought they need the money to keep the servers running?, Encourage players to buy BC?, Do you want roblox to keep up or do you want the website to be Shutdown because loss of funds, So how about everyone stops COMPLAINING. And deals with the fact that you need to buy stuff to play roblox, I may have BC and you probably think I have no authority over saying something like this but, I've been playing since 2010 - 2013 Without BC Once 2013 hit though, I bought BC Because I realized things are starting to cost more. So why do I tell people to stop complaining? Its BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER REMOVE THE PRICE FLOOR. ROBLOX Most likely needs to money to keep running and you want the ROBLOX Website down? Go for it keep complaining but don't come crying to ROBLOX When they loose all they're funds. |

| Price floor is actually a very good update, no longer can people pirate clothes for cheaper. Clothes piracy was everywhere in 2009-2012 now they fixed it. |

Most people aren't banned forever because they din't do something bad enough to do be banned forever. Someone who steals things from people are perma banned. Someone that swears probably gets a Warning and then a 3-7 day ban Someone who ODs probably gets a Warning. Someone who is new and breaks the rules gets a Reminder.
ALSO: The price floor is good, I have amde about double of what I used to with it. And they won't remove it so be quiet about it.
