The staff has recently listed some new ideas/future release notes for the forums. They seem good, correct? But look closer: they're allusions.
One that REALLY caught my eye was that they're claiming to be fixing the top poster system, which keeps track of what 100/50/25 forumers have the most posts on the forums (notably, it broke completely in 2011, but never totally worked correctly). Look at this:
http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=87169977
"In the coming months, you can expect to see some of things you’ve been asking for in the Forums; I can’t say right now exactly what’s going to happen when (but the top poster system, siggy support, and other desired features are all in the product plan). We’ll also be adding new features that will enhance the overall ROBLOX community experience even more (and yes, Contests are returning, too)."
Seems really cool, right? The forums are being fixed up? The beloved, sought-after top poster system is being fixed, correct? No. It's an allusion; they are being very indirect with us. How do I know? Because they never actually said they were 'fixing' it; they said that it's on their "product plan":
"but the top poster system, siggy support, and other desired features are all in the product plan"
Also, they already stated in a community Q&A what they're doing, as expressed in reesemcblox's chat here:
https://twitter.com/nathan78906/status/296146084575711232
What I, we, the ROBLOX forum community unanimously agree on, is that we want the old top poster system, or one that functions the same way (as in, we want the top 100, 50, and 25 posters to have badges under their avatars in the forums). It has not ever totally functioned exactly the way it had been intended, and it hasn't worked at all since around the summer of 2011. It has been the average forumer's goal to get that badge for as long as I can remember.
But something like this must come with rules/regulations. Here is a list of things that should come with this:
•More moderation in ALL forums (not focusing on only ATR) •Cracking down on lagposting (fixing this glitch, and making purposeful lagposting bannable) •Getting rid of "Count to x" threads in Forum Games •All posts must be one sentence in length, at least. (3+ words makes a sentence) •Forum bots need to be removed, because all they do is spam
I agree that a lot of people are willing to spam to get the badge, but with the implementation of the ideas on that list, we can easily cut it down.
I hope that the devs consider this post.

i agree with all of those except the "all posts most be at least one sentence long (3+ words)"
just because a post is less than three words does not necessarily mean that it's spam
other than that, i agree
(and sorry, but i'm going to have to report this post. you posted an offsite link to twitter and that's against the rules! sorry!) |

"(and sorry, but i'm going to have to report this post. you posted an offsite link to twitter and that's against the rules! sorry!)" They allow Twitter links:
"• Don’t Post Offsite Links An offsite link is any URL that goes to a site outside of ROBLOX.com, including ROBLOX fan sites. If you want to tell someone your profile on another social website just say, “My name on ________ site is ___________.” then they can go look you up.
For the safety of our users, we allow only certain websites to be linked to from ROBLOX.
Exception: Site links that allowed to be posted on ROBLOX
*.roblox.com/ (anything that ends in .roblox.com is allowed) Youtube.com/ Youtu.be/ (YouTube's URL shortener) Twitter.com/ t.co/ (Twitter's URL shortener)"

"(3+ words makes a sentence)" Actually, the shortest sentence ever is only two words, so this technically isn't true. (I would've put this in my last post, but I forgot and my Internet was off for a little while.)
"ok nvm false report" That's okay, they'll probably ignore it anyways.

@Gold
But there aren't that many that can have only two. I only said three because it is the basic sentence structure. |
