Basically, enough to cover the costs of a moderator for it. Also probably TBC+ only?
I'm aware this is in the WNTS, but generally when people talk about bringing back user meshes, they want it to be a free for all, not a highly paid dev product. Even if you make it expensive enough that very few people buy it, then that's almost even better, as you can just pay the one mod ~$20 in overtime, and most likely get a good 30-69 meshes approved, which should easily pay for itself, seeing how 2750 R$ = 25$

Because moderators may be a benefited position, and if that's the case, you should probably get a bit more than the R$. And TBC+ isn't all that common, which is still an issue financially, because getting them to upgrade to BC was only half the battle. You need to provide reasons to upgrade, and right now, TBC doesn't have devex, or any other obc exclusive features, so this would be the TBC sell point.

Yes, glad to see my logic at least makes sense

@nik (nice name btw)
It would be moderated, hence why you need enough costs to cover a mod and some server fees

Well, as I said, it all depends if moderators get benefits or not. If not, then you're looking at primarily just the salary, which would be AT THE MOST $25 an hour. 25*8=200... So they would need to make about 25K in R$, which if you do the math, equates to under 75R$ a mesh. You should probably add a bit more, as there's server space and office space, and food, however i'm not talking 10-20K a mesh here, just something the average person may think twice before doing. Worst case scenario, and they don't get 400 some odd meshes uploaded a day, THEN you ram up the price to make it developer oriented.
And may I ask why you don't support it solely because of the fee? It's not only a solvable issue, but also shouldn't be the only reason in deciding not to make a largely-demanded feature, especially one that's not only cost-neutral, but can even be possibly become profitable when you consider the upgrades made to TBC and OBC as a result, and the traffic generated that comes from the higher quality games that will come about if meshes are released.

aside from the reasons it was removed to begin with (and if someone mentioned this I just skimmed the thread ssorry) when user meshes WERE a thing, it was a huge pain in the ass to get them to work for everyone, i won't forget the days where I had to set a whole place aside just to put other people's meshes in so I could see them properly

troll? alright, let's see that how long can you still being rude to me.

$25 is a big bucks to a lot of children, and they cannot earn those money to afford this easily without their parents.

you guys just want roblox earn more money and kick out NBC away, and always tell me that i am exactly a troll. almost everyone cannot afford BC once, you know that.

this is WNTS, this price is extremely terrible and not affordable at all even though they can earn robux easily. if it is affordable i will at least give you a half support.

now STFU and stop calling me a troll ,or even forcing me to get out.

"troll? alright, let's see that how long can you still being rude to me."

You're not a troll, just really stupid a lot of the time. Sorry.

"$25 is a big bucks to a lot of children, and they cannot earn those money to afford this easily without their parents."

"Children" probably aren't interested in this feature anyway. It's aimed at the older Roblox players who spend a lot of time with Studio.

"you guys just want roblox earn more money and kick out NBC away, and always tell me that i am exactly a troll. almost everyone cannot afford BC once, you know that."

No, we just want NBC to stop expecting more priviledges. And actually, most people on this site probably can afford BC.

"this is WNTS, this price is extremely terrible and not affordable at all even though they can earn robux easily. if it is affordable i will at least give you a half support."

It's WNTS do to problems that the OP provided a solution to. Also, "affordable" isn't a factor. It's meant to be expensive.

"now STFU and stop calling me a troll ,or even forcing me to get out."

Then don't come off as an idiot in every thread when someone doesn't support you.

@kayla
That seems like a problem with using others' meshes, not using your own in your own place.

@lottery
Where did I say $25 DOLLARS is how much it would cost to upload a mesh? I said $25 is how much it most likely costs to pay a mod one hour in overtime (this could perhaps be raised to $30 at the absolute most, but my point would still stand as that's an additional 500R$ only), and it's literally impossible only one mesh could be reviewed in an hour, seeing how since it would be overtime related, they wouldn't be sitting around waiting for one to come in. If it wasn't there when their shift is up, then they leave, and review it tomorrow which should take no more than 5 minutes.
I also never said this would cost real money at all actually, the only reason I even posted a USD figure, was because of the fact that moderators get paid in USD, and it's purpose was to demonstrate how little R$ would be needed in an hour of reviewing to make it cost neutral.

And thank you @MrPhelps

If Roblox's concern is about people uploading user meshes for inappropriate use, how about DevEx users only? It's a bad idea, but it's a lot better then nothing.

But if we can have it moderated and open for everybody without ensuing any cost, why not do that one?
