Basically a list of what Roblox needs to fix, bring back, or add. I may add more to the list as time passes by. Also, since my post always gets redacted when I try to post all of what's on here, this thread will be split up into 3 posts, so please do not reply until I finish all parts of this thread.
Table of Contents:
I. What Needs to be Fixed ------- I. Filter ------- II. Moderation ------- III. Scam Bots ------- IV. Broken Flood Check ------- V. Default Clothing ------- VI. Forum Search System ------- VII. ReCaptcha before Posting ------- VIII. Filter for Search Bar II. Features That Would be Useful if Brought Back ------- I. Best Friends ------- II. S&I, Help, and the Off Topic Forums ------- III. Server Lists III. New Features ------- I. Revamped Veteran System ------- II. Veteran Servers ------- III. Voting System for Updates ------- IV. "Away" & "Invisible" Status ------- V. Group VIP Servers
NOTE: Not all of these are my ideas, some of them have been suggested by other people. I'm just putting all these ideas into one big thread. Also, this is a repost due to the removal of S&I.
[I. What Needs to be Fixed]
I would prefer if most, or if possible, all of these issues were fixed, but I'm fine if some of these can't be fixed. However, the issues with a '*' are the important issues that need to be fixed.
I. Filter*
If I'm correct, it started because a parent complained to Roblox stating that her child received sickening messages from a predator. Roblox had to do something since the media was attacking them and making it seem ROBLOX is at fault (when it really wasn't) and ROBLOX decided to use a terrible and broken filter by Community Sift. Community Sift claims their filter is good, but it censors harmless word (the word 'the' was censored a while ago) and yet some curse words are still not censored (I would give examples but I'm not gonna ruin my reputation with ROBLOX)
My idea of fixing the filter is by only censoring swear words for all ages. Numbers don't need to be censored as it's the kid's fault if they give out private info.
II. Moderation*
Moderation was decent back then until Roblox got lazy and started to use a bot moderator. Surprisingly, this bot moderator doesn't even do its job right. I believe it doesn't even read reports and just randomly decide who is right and who isn't. And this bot bans people & items here and there for no reason at all. It bans harmless items like Bruno Mars songs and stuff like that, and what surprises me is that users like THIS don't get banned at all:
https://web.roblox.com/users/240871001/profile
Even if Roblox isn't using a bot moderator for every place except the forums, the mods have become more lazy than before.
My solution for this is hiring more real mods (don't lie Roblox, you've got tons of money) that work in many different areas of the site rather than a bot moderator that automatically removes something if it gets mass reported without investigating it first.
III. Scam Bots*
Recently, people have been receiving friend requests from various scam bots, such as Click Me, Dont Click Me, Read My Desc, Click Here, and Read My Profile. All these bots had a name trend. What is annoying for most people is that even if you ignore the friend requests from the bots, they will still follow you and you will most likely not be able to block all of them due to the block limit. And now the bot creator made it so that the bots can join games.
To solve this issue, every time you message or friend request someone, you have to complete a quiz asking who you are messaging, FR-ing, or trading with + the other user's join date (yes you will have 5 choices and you have to pick one). And for joining games, you have to complete a quiz asking what game you are playing, who is the creator, and when the game was last updated. If you fail to answer any question correctly, you won't be able to proceed to the next step. Don't give me the "too confusing for new players excuse", new players should get used to this feature unless they're 10 or below. If this can be bypassed, tell me the coding that the scam bots would use to pass the quiz.
IV. Broken Flood Check
Basically what I mean is that people can spam a bunch of posts on threads, and if you don't believe me, try it yourself. Could be annoying at times.
To fix that, the flood check should be a limit where your account will be restricted from forum posting for 2 weeks if they make 20 or more posts ON THE SAME THREAD in 15 minutes. This helps prevent threads from being botted, especially if those threads are popular petitions to revert unneeded updates.
V. Default Clothing*
Basically an annoying system that automatically puts clothes on if you only wear skin tones and nothing else. Having to figure out how to bypass it to look normal is just sad.
In my opinion, Roblox should've just put the default colors on realistic skin tones. I mean think about it, what's wrong with being all red?
VI. Forum Search System
I believe they recently updated it a little, but when you try to look at more posts that you participated in it only shows posts that specifically state the user's name. Regardless if you hit "Posts" or "Posted By" it shows the same results.
So yeah, the search system should be fixed.
VII. ReCaptcha Before Posting
Literally, having to do a ReCaptcha before posting is so annoying. I know some of you guys don't have it, but some of us do (I heard on A T R the only people who don't have Captcha are the people who bought something from Roblox between the time the Captcha appeared on the forums to present).
Still, there should be no ReCaptcha for anybody who has the "Welcome to the Club" badge, as well as people who have purchased ANYTHING from the catalog that can be shown in their Inventory.
VIII. Filter for the Search Bar
Now, I already understand that generally the filter was used to protect children from constantly seeing people cursing, but there's no point of having a filter on the search bar if the only person who's going to see the content is yourself. This filter is useless, it either needs to be fixed or removed.

ONCE AGAIN, I ONLY FINISHED THE 1ST PART, SO PLEASE DO NOT REPLY UNTIL I TELL YOU THAT ALL 3 PARTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THANK YOU. |

[II. Features That Would be Useful if They Were Brought Back]
I. Best Friends
I don't see why this feature had to be removed along with unlimited friends. It's like they secretly got rid of this while implementing a new friend limit, and I don't see why this was removed, this was a useful feature.
It should be where you still have a 200 friend limit + 10 best friends of your choice. The Chat & Party section should get updated as well where when you click 'Chat & Party', you have to first choose 'Best Friends' or 'Friends' and then proceed to PM-ing your friend.
II. S&I & Off Topic Forums
S&I should be added back because it's where people should suggest any features people would like to be added in ROBLOX. Removing S&I shows you don't care for the community at all, and even if a sub-forum's community is toxic, it's the moderator's fault for not keeping the sub-forum stabilized. And even though S&I is mostly full of trash ideas and bait threads, there are tons of good ideas out there which sadly get buried with the bait. I'll also be fine if you decide to merge S&I & Help together and rename "Suggestions & Ideas" to "Suggestions & Issues" as S&I and Help go together well.
And OT seriously needs to be added back, because the OT community decided to move with ATR & RT to RN&D, meaning more chaos and flame wars (this was my prediction before the merge; it's not entirely true but RN&D being active can be a bad thing at times). OTers need a place to talk about Off Topic stuff and not always Roblox-related stuff, so I say that OT should be added back. Removing OT basically shows that you guys like to restrict our rights of freedom of speech.4
III. Server Lists
Now, I get that it was used to prevent scam bots from joining servers, but nowadays people have been complaining that the bots found another way around that. This makes the server list removal useless, and also it was a neat feature for people who joined hacked servers or troll-infested servers and wanted to join another server. Like I was playing a game and I joined a hacked server and I constantly joined the same server due to the server list removal. "Servers My Friends Are In" is a neat idea, but it needs to be kept along with all server lists. |

[III. New Features]
I. Revamped Veteran System
I've thought about revamping the veteran system for a while now, as 1 year being considered a veteran sounds strange to me.
If you're at least 1 yrs old on ROBLOX, you will receive the "Robloxian" badge as well as a Robloxian Pin (like Recycling Pin)
If you're 3+ yrs old on ROBLOX, you'll receive the "Veteran" badge as well as a Veteran Lanyard.
And if you're 6+ yrs old on ROBLOX, you'll receive the "Old Timer" badge along with a hat showing a quick glance at old ROBLOX.
You'll only get these badges when you log on after this update is implemented. If you do not log on, you won't get the badge that you deserve.
Some of you will think this is useless, but it applies to the next 2 features.
II. Veteran Servers
There are people in our community who simply don't want to be playing with new players all the time, so this feature will be useful for people who want to play with more experienced players. This can also help if you don't want to constantly see those scam bots join your server all the time.
New players will only hit 'Play' and automatically join a normal servers.
As for Robloxians, it becomes different. When they hit 'Play', it will ask them "What server type would you like to join?" and the 2 options are 'Normal' & 'Robloxian'.
Veterans will experience the same thing as Robloxians, except when they hit 'Play', there will be 3 types of servers to join - Normal, Robloxian, or Veteran.
Old Timers just add on to Veterans adding another server option titled 'Old Timer', therefore being 4 types of servers to join.
III. Voting System for Updates
ROBLOX needs to give a chance to the community so that the updates aren't just staff-controlled. However, since the community has a ton of little kids who don't know what's really right for ROBLOX, here are some requirements for voting:
- 13+ - Verified Email - "Welcome to the Club" badge - Using the revamped Veteran system, users must have the 'Robloxian' badge.
And if there are still little kids bypassing those limits, the age limit will be raised from 'Robloxian' to 'Veteran' as well as a forum post limit if needed.
IV. Away & Invisible Status
In Sky pee and I believe Discord, there's a feature where you can show if your Away, Invisible, etc. This feature can be useful for not confusing your friends if you're not exactly online.
The away feature will be renamed to "AFK" and will have the same icon that the Away feature in Skyp##########s will show other users that you are currently offline but will come back soon.
The invisible feature will make you look like your offline except for when you move your cursor to the player icon as it will show 'Invisible'. Players can use this if they need some peace or quiet or if they don't want to play with friends for some time.
You can change your status on the home page. Right next to "Hello, [username]!" there will be a "Change your Status" button.

V. Group VIP Servers Well, I'm too lazy to repeat what TheNewBlock (this was his idea) said so here's the link to the original post: forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=219232112
And that's it guys, the fix-list is done (for now), and since I've finished all 3 parts you may now reply and give feedback.
I tried my best for this not to seem like a word wall and therefore I will not be adding a tl;dr version. I read my whole post one more time before posting this and I know you guys can do the same.
If you think that what I thought needs to be fixed doesn't need to be fixed, please tell me why it doesn't need fixing.
Also, please tell me if an issue that I've stated here has already been fixed.
And lastly, if you agree with all my fixes and points on this thread, then say "Support"!

The scam bots have already been fixed. They added a ReCaptcha to create new accounts, and the server list prevents all the bots left in Roblox from scamming.

Oh, I didn't know that.
But I don't see a ReCaptcha at the signup
Also the server lists should still be there at all, older players shouldn't have to suffer just because kids fell for these free R$ scams. The new veteran system should solve half the problems.

Well listen.
ROBLOX executed the server list removal terribly, but it showed that they're at least trying to stop the scam bots.
There must be a reason they're not doing ReCaptcha, and it's probably because there could be a way the bots could bypass it.

| @KigoTJ If you actually took the time to read the paragraphs, selecting servers was useful for getting out of hacked servers, and if you accidentally leave a server with a lot of good people, selecting servers allows you to join back. |

Add on: Fix the online status too. Say you have a group of friends in a game right? It'll list them as "Online" Until you actually click their page, or it just won't load in as "In Game". Only time that the online status actually works is if you're in a party with those people.

I guess that is another issue, I just didn't suggest that because I didn't see tons of people complaining about it nor did I find it too big of an issue. But I'll add that on anyways as number IX on the issues that need to be fixed part.
