This post is a dictionary-definition of hypocrisy. This would be technically be counted as spam. However, since this forum is where I'm noticing it, I might as well post it here. I really think these would benefit not just this forum, but others, too.

1. For first-time viewers, make an alert message pop up that this forum is not for help requests. Yes, I know it's in the description, but nobody reads it, apparently. They will read an alert message. That will greatly diminish spam.

2. More strict moderation - if a thread is obviously out of place or the thread has nothing to do with the community or scripting, then do more than lock it. I've posted one or two of these threads, but regardless... Perhaps you could ban them for 10 minutes if it's a first?

3. Extend the time you have to wait before posting. At least, extend it for some forums. For some reason, I seriously doubt that a person would come to Roblox, learn how to script in a day, and then be discussing advanced matters. I mean, seriously. 1 or 2 weeks should be enough. Look how many spam threads are posted by obvious alts.

4. Allow us to add 1 Edit: at the bottom of our post. No, not edit our post, that would be abused, but something more like(in OT):
Did you hear that a kiten can stay permanently small?
You would click the edit button and afterwards, the post may look like
Did you hear that a kiten can stay permanently small?
Edit: kitten*




I'm not meaning to minimod at all, I was just trying to sum up my thoughts on a post that made sense.

I'm not sure why, but I feel that we've discussed moderation before.

Oh yeah.

It's because we have.

Like yesterday.

That would mean upgrading the forum, I don't know if microsoft's software allows for that.

i wasn't on the forums yesterday and I never look past the 1st page.
I have never *NEVER* seen a mod reply to a thread in S&I. S&I seems to be more like Say&Ignite(flame).

I think they should upgrade to IPBoard, as they can keep the current posts of this forum, and easily plugin their login system into this system.

S&I is the place they send all the little kiddies with ideas that will never become Roblox standard but when people actually have good ideas they have nowhere to go. I sent info@roblox.com a message complaining about troll Sorcus working alone to totally destroy Roblox (by removing the ability to take away the leaderboard) but they replied, quote..

"Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. The best way to have your idea heard is to post your idea on our Suggestions and Ideas forum.
Here is the link: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=21
Thanks for sharing your idea with us to make ROBLOX awesome."

Lol customer service lol.

I can't see why any of these threads about moderation, or spam problems here even came to anyone's mind as useful.

Does it really matter that much? Is it so hard to ignore it and let it drift away? Even if some people respond to it, why does it affect you so much? There's not that much spam to clog up this forum - and usually not any. It gets handled.

It's not hard to just click on the related ones.

@MrNicNac,

Spam is still unacceptable, and also, it makes the nice threads go on the 2nd page faster D:

More strict moderation would be good but the big problems are these:

us posting completely off topic things
noobs thinking that's OK and joining in
mods locking good topics of discussion (if anything is locked at all)

For example, there are between 9 and 12 spam threads on the first page right now. None locked.

And we do not help at all.

That spam thread Scripting a Wepon got something like 11 posts. There should be the OP bumping it 2 times then buggering off. Not us feeding the trolls and bumping the spam 11 times over.

Agreed; all the regular forumers here should agree to stop bumping the spam.

We should all PM people who post help requests...

I'm sure the reminder of the influx of new messages will keep them from posting help requests in here again. ^.^

To further expand on my idea we should come up with some canned speech that we all send to the person via PM. Sounds good, right? :D
