tl;dr ORIGINAL: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=147149899 TRUE ORIGINAL: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=144761334
INTROITUS ROBLOX. It's been over a decade since it started as Dynablox and then shortly evolved into what we know it as today.
It was offline software back in it's very first alpha build. Over time, it was remade into a 3d interactive building game with no multiplayer until 2006. It was then introduced to character animation, LUA, hats, gear, BC, R$, etc. Today, it is much more advanced than it's past selves. However, not everyone was happy with ROBLOX, so I decided to come up with a major makeover for this game.
ADMONITUM Now, these below are the suggestions. I want you to read carefully.
1. Upgrade to LUA 5.3 once it comes out. It can possibly allow for LODs, infinite wait times, advanced AIs, pathfinding, etc. ROBLOX will modify the engine to emulate the current scripting engine but keep the new features and stuff to ensure the games before the major scripting engine update are unaffected. 2. Enforce comment moderation. HEAVILY. Spam has skyrocketed to the point where it's beyond obnoxious. Hire a lot of place comment mods that are expertly skilled and willing to do the job. That way, spam will plummet from common to rare. 3. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. SIMPLE! 4. Full support for all types/kinds/formats of VIRTUALLY EVERY audio formats for audio uploads. Allow the audio to remain uncompressed too. Change the audio upload limits to at LEAST 50 megabytes per audio file. However, it will require ROBLOX's own audio system for this to happen. 5. More benefits for users who have the veteran badge. Users with the veteran badge will be able to earn 20 tickets for being active everyday, have 5 places active, see sightly less off-site ads and the ability to sell t-shirts. If they had BC and had the veteran badge, they STILL cannot see off-site ads, they can have 7 places active, retain the ability to sell shirts or pants, and partial access to BC Beta Features. 6. Any ads leading to viruses or turning out to be scams will be hidden to all users. 7. The UIs on both the site and in-game are great, but we can make it even better by making them more innovative, and nicer. 8. Have the choice to either have the "I'm" display on your edit status UI or not. 9. Allow us to edit all of our forum posts we've made so far. 10. A Gearsplosion must happen. That way, we can have bikes, more stuff from the movies, skates (roller/ice/inline/etc), everything we can imagine. 11. Make the brick size limit 0.1. It can aid EBR members, expert builders and even any builder in existence. Make a option for resizing blocks in 0.1 size too. 12. High Frequency Network addition and heavy netcode tweaking. Definitely needs to happen. 13. Color3 would be a nice replacement of BrickColor. The 3 values (RGB) can be adjusted up to 255. However, make 64 presets that are faithful to the current BrickColor system. Replace CharacterColor with that too. Make sure that we can change our body colors using Color3, with the same 64 presets. 14. There DEFINITELY needs formatting in comments, profile descriptions, statuses, forum posts, everywhere. Source: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=147297293 15. Parts keep moving by 0.001 studs everytime you move them, drag them, model them and even resize them. This needs to stop. It s degrading works of expertly-built material. 16. OBCers should be able to make user-made hats and gear. TBCers should be able to make user-made faces. 17. More /e emotions. 18. Achievements. They will be available to all NBCers, BCers, TBCers and OBCers alike. You can earn them by either playing, building and/or doing something extraordinary. If you achieve an achievement, there's a random chance that you will earn TIX, R$, a BC privilege or a random drop of either 1 hat, 1 gear, 1 face or rarely 1 body package. 19. Flawless moderation for all forums.
==Q&A== Q: WNTS A: Please give me a clear and valid reason why.
Q: Will the Gearspolsion be much like the Hatspolsion? A: Likely.
Constructive criticism and support are welcome. Trolling, bait, and flaming will get you nowhere, even n00bs. |

| #18 is so bad that I just stopped reading right there. You really think ROBLOX is going to suddenly let you get stuff that you normally have to pay for for free? It will also be heavily abused. Did you think this through at all? |

*deep sigh* Here's a fixed version.
18. Achievements. They will be available to all NBCers, BCers, TBCers and OBCers alike. You can earn them by either playing, building and/or doing something extraordinary. If you achieve an achievement, there's a small chance that you will earn TIX, R$, a BC privilege or a random drop of either 1 hat, 1 gear, 1 face or rarely 1 body package. |

| Flawless? So you mean perfect, right? Sorry buddy, but it's impossible to have perfect moderation. And even if you do achieve this apotheosis, you'd have to devote a ton of sources to moderation. It'd be better if you use this money on other things, like hiring new engineers. |

"16. OBCers should be able to make user-made hats and gear. TBCers should be able to make user-made faces."
Too exploitable. People could make inappropriate hats/gears/faces and could put them at outrageous prices. ROBLOX has done something like this in the past. They allowed all users to be able to make meshes. They had to shut it down because of how abused it was.
Let's put all this to the side. Even this did get implemented, people would make absolutely terrible hats, gears, and faces. People may not like ROBLOX because of how bad they are. This is the reason why ROBLOX doesn't make many faces. Shedletsky said something along the lines of, "If someone new to ROBLOX sees someone with a bad face, they may think ROBLOX is a bad game."
People could also make gears that are really overpowered. One hit KO with a 13981029382193 blast radius. They could also use these gears to exploit games and possibly steal them. Programming is a very powerful but capricious tool. |

| @A switch it to hiring more engineers? why not BOTH? It's 100% legit that ROBLOX's moderation is broken and needs to be fixed, and at the other hand you are right, but dosen't mean to only look that way! |

| 16. OBCers should be able to make user-made hats and gear. TBCers should be able to make user-made faces. HOWEVER, it will be moderated. Once the OBCer submits his/her hat/gear/face, the moderators will have to test it to see if it's good, bad, inappropriate or even overpowered. For hats, the mods will have examine it closely before approving it. If it's not age-appropriate, it will be rejected. For gear, the mods will test the gear on several dummies to see if it's overpowered or balanced. If it's overpowered, then the mods will have to modify it to make it balanced. However, if they cannot balance it, then it will be rejected. If it's balanced, then it's okay. If it's inappropriate, then it will be rejected. For faces, the mods will have to take a close look at the face image to see if it's age appropriate, good or bad. If it's good or age-appropriate, then it's in the Catalog. If it's bad or inappropriate, then it'll end up being rejected. |

A lot of this will never happen and some of it can be abused. The user made stuff is a huge nooooo. The editing forum posts can be abused. I. G. Original post: Agree if you like pie! New: Agree if you like (insert innaproriate word) And there's a little bit of a flaw in everything. The one thing I truly agree with is the Moderators for comments. |

Yes. This will be great.
2. Enforce comment moderation. HEAVILY. Spam has skyrocketed to the point where it's beyond obnoxious. Hire a lot of place comment mods that are expertly skilled and willing to do the job. That way, spam will plummet from common to rare.
And who's going to pay for all the mods, or will they be volunteers?
3. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. SIMPLE!
Mhm, price floor comes to mind.
4. Full support for all types/kinds/formats of VIRTUALLY EVERY audio formats for audio uploads. Allow the audio to remain uncompressed too. Change the audio upload limits to at LEAST 50 megabytes per audio file. However, it will require ROBLOX's own audio system for this to happen.
I am on the fence about this. One side is YUSH PERFECT LOOPING and the other side wonders how much storage it would require to store all the audio, and how much us players would have to chip in to buy these servers.
5. More benefits for users who have the veteran badge. Users with the veteran badge will be able to earn 20 tickets for being active everyday, have 5 places active, see sightly less off-site ads and the ability to sell t-shirts. If they had BC and had the veteran badge, they STILL cannot see off-site ads, they can have 7 places active, retain the ability to sell shirts or pants, and partial access to BC Beta Features.
Mostly, barring the tix.
6. Any ads leading to viruses or turning out to be scams will be hidden to all users.
So basically more ad moderation, you mean.
7. The UIs on both the site and in-game are great, but we can make it even better by making them more innovative, and nicer.
No. Not more innovative, merely more user-friendly. Give us the option of either what we had before, what we have now, and a blend of the two. (Keeping current styling.)
8. Have the choice to either have the "I'm" display on your edit status UI or not.
?
9. Allow us to edit all of our forum posts we've made so far.
This. So much this. And while you're at it, switch to a BBcode forum framework.
10. A Gearsplosion must happen. That way, we can have bikes, more stuff from the movies, skates (roller/ice/inline/etc), everything we can imagine.
no. never.
11. Make the brick size limit 0.1. It can aid EBR members, expert builders and even any builder in existence. Make a option for resizing blocks in 0.1 size too.
No. We have blockmeshes and Command Utility for this. We can manage just fine.
12. High Frequency Network addition and heavy netcode tweaking. Definitely needs to happen.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA JA OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI OUI
and for god's sake improve the fish ai
13. Color3 would be a nice replacement of BrickColor. The 3 values (RGB) can be adjusted up to 255. However, make 64 presets that are faithful to the current BrickColor system. Replace CharacterColor with that too. Make sure that we can change our body colors using Color3, with the same 64 presets.
Yes.
14. There DEFINITELY needs formatting in comments, profile descriptions, statuses, forum posts, everywhere. Source: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=147297293
See my comment about switching to bbcode.
15. Parts keep moving by 0.001 studs everytime you move them, drag them, model them and even resize them. This needs to stop. It s degrading works of expertly-built material.
Yes. Fix this implicitngine bug.
16. OBCers should be able to make user-made hats and gear. TBCers should be able to make user-made faces.
Eh, I'll pass.
17. More /e emotions.
Sure...
18. Achievements. They will be available to all NBCers, BCers, TBCers and OBCers alike. You can earn them by either playing, building and/or doing something extraordinary. If you achieve an achievement, there's a random chance that you will earn TIX, R$, a BC privilege or a random drop of either 1 hat, 1 gear, 1 face or rarely 1 body package.
No. That's what player badges are for.
19. Flawless moderation for all forums.
So basically moving the moon isn't enough? Who's going to pay for the small army of mods?

Hire smarter engineers to improve the coding of ROBLOX. 20. The ImPlicitNgine is great, but it must be COMPLETELY rebuilt from the ground up with the new smarter engineers and Kevin He recreating the physics engine. Once it's done, it'll incorporate the long-awaited Articulated Physics, be much lighter and less laggier. |
