There used to be a sticky thread about this, but it was (for some unknown reason) taken down.
This is a list of things NOT to suggest, and why.
Everything here has been agreed apon by fairly every forum user.
(Not in person, but rather a general murmur of approval)
1. Badges.
The Devs already said that new badges won't be added.
2. More Places for Non Builders Club
ROBLOX makes its money off people buying Builders Club. This destroys their money.
3. Cheaper Builders Club
ROBLOX makes its money off people buying Builders Club. This destroys their money.
4. More Robux for Tix on Exchange
ROBLOX makes its money off people buying Robux. By making many tix worth only a few Robux, it increases the value of Robux, which Generatates income for ROBLOX.
5. More Money Per Login/Favorites/Forum Posts/Place Visits ect.
If you increase the money for everyone, it would increase the prices for everything too. Ever heard of inflation?
6. Refunds
Refunds are flawed, because they are easily abusable. I know 100 ways to get 1,000 tix using the refund system.
7. "What Should I add to my place?"
This forum is for suggesting ideas for all of ROBLOX, not suggestions for your place. Unlinke all other bad ideas, this will get you BANNED.
8. Pets.
Roblox will figure a way out to create them eventually, until then, don't tell them to make them.
9. Mirrors/Water
Both Mirrors and water are next to impossible to create. Mirrors ARE in progress, no need to rush the admins. Water is very taxing on servers.
10. Anything which is possible for a scripter to create.
If scripters can already make it... go to scripter's help instead of Suggestions and Ideas.
11. Making Gear/Hats
Hats: One main reason is that meshes take up a Ton of server space, forcing them to buy more servers. That is expensive. The other problem is that hats for sale can be easily replicated and given out for free.
Gear: Gear for sale can be easily replicated and given out for free.
12. Random Tix/Robux givouts
These are bad ideas, because there are many people in ROBLOX, especially scripters and builders, who deserve the money more than randomly selected new players.
13. The removal of Guests.
This will ALSO get you banned. Guests are friendly, and help give income to ROBLOX. The removal of Guests would make ROBLOX lose money.
14. Refunds (I said this before)
Refunds are flawed, because they are easily abusable. I know 100 ways to get 1,000 tix using the refund system. (I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE! BUT I AM REPEATING IT!)
15. Contest suggestion
Unless they ask, they don't want the users making up contest ideas.
16. "PUT THE SCRIPTING LANGAUGE IN ENGLISH!"
This is impossible.... If you think its possible... Good luck with that......
17. Video Ads
Take up too much server space and are harder to moderate. Also harder to display.
18. New ways of getting tix (any new way)
Poor idea. Most of the time, it is just because you are greedy.
19. Cheaper Hats/Gear/Anything
The reason it is expensive is to make it hard for people to buy it. If it was cheap, then having unique hats wouldn't be unique anymore.
20. "MAKE ME AN ADMIN"
You certainly won't become an admin if you do that, and you have to apply for a job in CA in order to become an Admin, anyways.
21. ROBLOX for off-computer game systems
It is a waste of time for programmers, and would cost ROBLOX several million dollars.
It also would NOT be fun off the computer.
Thank you.
Soon: I will create a quiz, in which you have to answer 50 questions regarding this thread.
Anyone who can complete it with 100% obviously read this thread, and knows everything in it. After that, I will add their name to a list of people approved to Post Competent Threads on the Suggestions and Ideas Forum.
I am NOT trying to imatate a moderator....
I am only doing my duty as a citizen of ROBLOX. |

Truthfuly i dont agree with number 21 becuase ROBLOX is fun all around and if you could play it on game systems they would deffinity further teh incoem and popularatiy of ROBLOX. And yes i know it is VERY pricey but besides the price I think roblox would be good all around. |

i do not agree with 21. B/c i lose connection alot. and i cannot go online without connection :\ |

Suggestion to put on both Suggestions & Ideas, AND Technical Problems and Bug Reports.
That says "Do NOT post suggestions in TP&BR, or vice versa, they belong in their appropriate section, doing so will get you banned." |

But ROBLOX cannot afford them, and you'd lose connection MORE often, not LESS. |
|

Bump.
Its NOT a suggestion, but the Devs should ad a thread like this, because they've told us we can't do any of these things, and yet, people post them WAY too often.
Oh, and Btw, you'd lose connection MORE often if it was off the computer. |

Tato, this ISN'T A STICKY.
But, these are ALL ideas the Devs have, at one time or another, said not to suggest. |

You don't need to repost.
And some of those are arguable. I can tell you edited some. Those are the arguable ones. |
