I've thought of this update for a while now, but I've finally gotten over my laziness and decided to post it now. ---Chat Scrolling Chat Scrolling will be an incredibly easy feature to implement, and would make the lives of most ROBLOXians alot easier. It's simple, using the Page Up and the Page Down buttons to scroll up and down through the chat. It's good, and can have many uses. This could help game creators solve problems in chat, such as someone abusing an admin command, or it could also help to the typical 'I was gone and just came back' user, who would like to see if anybody was talking to them while they were gone. ---Direct Chat Direct Chat is an essential for most games you would see on Steam, or any other gaming website (atleast for me!). This would help especially in games such as Deadzone or Apocalypse Rising, in which someone would like to discuss plans in a group while at war, or just talk to someone in the vicinity while they don't want other players to see. This chat would be toggled in the Configure panel for games. They can enable Direct Chat, in which the Side Channel and Direct Channel can be toggled with the . key. The vicinity in which players can hear your chat could be toggled, such as setting the chat vicinity in which the message shows up to 15x15 studs. ---Ignoring User Chat I'm pretty sure everybodys been in the situation in which there is a spammer is on the server, and you just want him to stop. This update would help with not just that, but much more. If someones being extremely annoying in chat, begging for money or just being ignorant, you could ignore their chat. This could be accessed in a Settings tab in the chat bar. This update has been demanded by many users, ofcourse in a more serious extension, but I think this would just be fine. These updates would help many users in games, and I know that however players could make these updates instead, it would be better overall if ROBLOX implimented the idea globally. Many people on ROBLOX have no knowledge of scripting. It would be great if ROBLOX could impliment these! Let me know your feedback on the thread, whether you think this is a good update or not!
