Re: A plea to the staff to allow off topic posts after the merge

Recently, OldBaronMondo said Roblox might only allow Roblox-related posts in RN&D. If that's true, is there any way to change Roblox's plans for that?

To most people in RT, OT and even ATR, the forums are the best part of Roblox. The people in RT and OT really like how we can just casually post about almost any topic we like. Almost every other forum website has a place for off topic conversation, so it only makes sense that Roblox should have at least one subforum for that. We can't just use in-game chat for talking to others, because the game servers can only hold a limited amount of people in them, and a lot of people can't always play the games on Roblox. Some of them just post on their phones most of the time (and phones aren't nearly as good for playing Roblox), some people have really bad internet connections that aren't as good for playing Roblox's games, and some even have computers that don't work very well anymore. We need a place on the forums to talk about off topic things. Almost every single person on RT and OT hates the forum merge because the mods aren't going to allow off topic conversation anymore. We need a place on the forums for off topic stuff. A lot of times, we feel like talking about things that aren't Roblox related, and we want to share that with the forums because we have a good community of friends here.

Please mods, we all really need you to get the staff to allow off topic posts in RN&D (Or just make a sixth subforum for off topic things, that could work too). We're only asking for you to change just one rule on just one subforum. We really need Roblox to listen to what the players want for once. Without the ability to post non-Roblox things, at least half of RT and OT will quit Roblox because only allowing Roblox-only posts will keep us from posting most of the things we want to talk about. We don't want those friendships we've made on the forums to end. We used to have the freedom to just casually discuss whatever we want on the forums, and we don't want Roblox to take that away from us after we've had that freedom for so long.

To all my fellow forumers, don't lose hope. Roblox has actually listened to our complaints a few times before, like when we got them to keep the bodycolors feature. We just have to believe we can do this. It would be very easy for Roblox staff to simply allow off topic posts in RN&R. All we have to do is keep making sure our voices are heard. Show your support in this threads replies. Link, screencap, repost and retweet this on Twitter. Make your own threads asking for Roblox to keep allowing off topic posts on the forums. Make petitions and everything. Tell as many mods and staff members as you can about this. Roblox can listen to us if enough of us tell them what we want.

sadly he didn't say they're "might" be, i think he actually confirmed it, and said there wouldn't really be a chance of an off topic subforum because roblox is trying to make the forums roblox disucssion only

although they may realize that as a mistake after the update, and add an off topic section, or change the rules to allow certain off topic posts

Yes, they may realize keeping the forums completely Roblox-only is a mistake if we keep telling them that. That's why we need to keep trying to peacefully protest against this.

This deserves my bump. It may be a fruitless effort, but I can't imagine how the moderators are going to be able to patrol this upcoming forum so diligently to be dedicated to Roblox-only topics. I only hope the restriction is a dream and not a reality.

personally, i think they'll give us an off topic subforum in the future

atr was created because non-roblox related discussions were happening way too frequently on rt

they never learn from their mistakes tsk tsk

Some people may say it's hopeless, but it's not. We have proven we're able to change the staff's minds on these things.

By the way, the Twitter post I made about this is here: https://twitter.com/SnowStorm_RBLX/status/887103167116320773

You can repost this if you want, but it would be better if you also retweeted my original post. Share it to as many people as you can, ESPECIALLY the mods.

trust me, not having a place for RTers and OTers to have non-roblox discussion is going to fire back really hard on the mods.

also the true solution to all of this would just be "hire more mods" and/or "hire volunteer moderators"

no need for "DELETE ALL THE SUBFORUMS!!!!"

The complete annihilation of an off topic forum would cause the ROBLOX population to severe, greatly from their elder and loyal players.

If you think about it, if the forums are strictly ROBLOX-related, the forums will be dead.

Remember to keep showing how much you want Roblox to keep allowing off topic posts, and keep replying to this thread to show your support. (But don't spam it or anything)

What they should have done is keep ATR, group all of the ROBLOX-related forums, and leave OT alone. Which essentially will only leave it as the deletion of RT.
