It would be awesome for game developers (and normal users) to have a following rather than having thousands of friend requests, so here is my idea:
The normal friends system will be the same, however, each user would have a "follow"/"become a fan"/(whatever) button next to them. This would be like on Twitter where no authorization would be asked from the user receiving a "follower"/"fan"/(whatever).
For example: I am a fan of Clonetrooper1019 so I click the "follow" button on his profile. This way I am instantly a fan and receiving his status updates and active game updates in my ROBLOX feed without having to wait for him to accept my "request". If I am a fan and I want to unfollow, I'd just have to click the "unfollow"/"unfan"/(whatever) button.
I think this is a neat idea as it would decrease the amount of friend requests successful game developers receive each day (not just game devs. All users would have this feature).
The only downside I see is if someone were to create a bunch of alts and have said alts follow him/her. There are many ways to prevent this, one of them being the creation of a new reason to report a user ("spamming followers, alt fans, etc.").
All feedback is appreciated, thank you! |

| @Chrismania3 ROBLOX isn't only a game. It's also categorized as a social network. This idea does not modify anything too large, as it simply adds a new connectivity feature between users. |

Thank you guys for supporting this idea! If you can, share this forum thread's URL with friends on ROBLOX or via any other social website. We need to get the word across!

Support. That way your friends list would be for ACTUAL friends.
Side suggestion: How about ROBLOX allows us to select what page number in our friends list we are in the same way we can edit the page number in the comments section of a group and go to that page's comments? It'd let me go to the last or particular pages quicker.

"I'm sorry" and "my bad" mean the same thing. Except at funerals. |

| If that would be implemented though, you should be able to see which people followed you and the person should be able to seperate which followers in catergories like, friends, fans, stalkers, haters. etc |

You can see if there are alternate accounts by matching the user's IP address with another. Only problem is, if my brother(s) ALSO become followers. Then again, they could check the date of creation vs the date they became followers.
The only problem I see with this is that some users (like me) still actually want to be their friend, such as wanting to be Emma Watson's friend in real life (How cool would that be?). |

@Firedan1176 You would be able to fan and friend the same person. As I mentioned before, the following and friend systems are separate.

@idiotbox45 I have only stated the basic following system. What you said I didn't say since it's something that would have to come with it. However, the "separating into categorizes" thing doesn't make sense, as becoming a follower is already generalized and there is no need to make anything any more complicated. It's just a feature that I'm sure game devs would love to see. |
