We as a community believe that by taking away the comments section, more harm then good has resulted.

While we understand the decision made by the ROBLOX team: It stops spam, lowers chances of new users getting phished or falling for fake links, and in some cases stops people from arguing.
While all of these things are negative and should have an end put to them, we believe there should be a different way.

Either not allowing a comment by a single user to be posted if he already posted that exact same comment somewhere else on the site within the last hour let's say; to stop bots that spam.

Stricter rules with what can be said. Roblox has already implemented this step, you can't go a minute on the forums without seeing '######'.

-----------------------------------
However, while it is a positive thing that those things are gone now, we believe the negatives of this decision have outweighed the positive.

The negatives being: an increasing difficulty of finding users who are looking to trade an item you may be interested in, an increasing difficulty of finding the true value of an object, while yes rap helps, it doesn't show the demand [or lack there of], it doesn't show what offers are out there, etc.


Currently the only ways to obtain a specific item is
1)Buying with Robux
a)the issues with this is that while someone may not have the robux for an item he may have the value in limiteds, and may want to trade with their builder's club membership, so trading is his only option, other than having to sell what limiteds he has, get 70% of the robux of the sale in return, profit his way back up in Robux until he earns it again.

2)Trading
a)One issue with trading for a specific item, is finding people who are willing to trade it. Just because someone has posted a limited up for sale, does not mean they want to trade, some even have their trades off to show they strictly want Robux for their items. (sidenote: it's difficult to sell items as well without comments because you base what people will buy it for off of the lowest price and RAP, but not comparing any current offers out there).
b)Finding owners of your dream item on the forums is extremely difficult as well. The only way this works is if the following all are found in one person: (1) an owner of your item is on. (2) the owner is looking to trade, and not sell, his limited, (3) The owner happens to either make a post about trading that specific item, or has to see the thread made by someone who is looking specifically for that item.

as you see too many coincidences have to be in place in order to use the forums in a useful manner.
c)Trading groups. I myself co own Trade., the largest social group that has to do with trading in general. our group now has almost 57,000 members. The issues with groups like this, yes you can ask for offers and go back on the wall to look for your items, but with the sheer amount of users who are doing that exact same thing, the wall is different every time you refresh the page. For someone to see your post or for them to see yours is extremely difficult, which leaves one of the more popular methods left, buying shoutouts for $850 so the whole group can see your offer.
________________________________________________________

Wouldn't it be easier to comment on one item then hoping "for the stars to align", and have all of the perfect coincidences for someone to trade with you. And even when the stars, do align, the person you find may not like your offer, so you may have to go to two, to three, four, five, however many people until you obtain the item you want.

Wouldn't it be easier to comment on one item then paying money for someone to see your shoutout for a couple of hours because you're running out of options?


~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
TL;DR
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

comments help us find people to trade with a whole lot faster then LMaD/Trade groups/Trading sellers, and everything that good that came with taking comments out can be achieved in a different way, but even so, the decision of taking away the comment section gave us more bad then good.



~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
So it all boils down to this: We want the comment section back.

If you [users] agree, please *sign/post* this petition to let the ROBLOX team understand the community's stance of one of their many updates. That this just wasn't one of their better ones.

(if you have opinions of your own or points you'd like to make, feel free to leave them here as well. Thank you)

I believe removing the comments was a dumb idea. The comments on items let me express there ideas and thoughts on the items. But since the removed it, trading has been slowing down. People can't share thoughts on the items. Even though it was a way to remove spam or whatever is still limited peoples thoughts.

Thanks for bringing that part up Lax.

While occasional argument did exist, many discussions have been taking place at the same time that people appreciated.

I agree. I was often able to find good offers from the comments section on limiteds, and nowadays, it is harder to get people's opinions on an item's value without comments.

I posted in S&I a link to this thread.

While this belongs in S&I, True, it would get the much needed attention here first.
