So recently, Roblox released the friends and followers update. People so far are hating it if I am not wrong. But here's the deal, you can get your friends back, but that's not the point of this thread. With this update, Roblox also modified our settings abilities. If you change your Private Messaging settings to "Friends, Users I Follow, and Followers". You can then put in your description, you must follow me to send me a Private Message. This way, spambots can't message you, and if a person is committed to messaging you, then they will press the follow button and talk to you. If the person doesn't follow you, it means they're not committed, and you have one less group join request or other variation of message to worry about. Just post, let me know what you think of this work around! M39ᴀ9ᴀᴍ3R - Bᴇɴᴇғᴀᴄᴛᴏʀ ᴏғ Aᴇɢɪᴜᴍ

Just give them some time and I bet someone will modify the bot to make it follow you to be able to PM you. -[ 111, 7 Year Veteran, Community Helper ]-

I thought this would be a great use of the Friend and Followers Feature to not be spammed. M39ᴀ9ᴀᴍ3R - Bᴇɴᴇғᴀᴄᴛᴏʀ ᴏғ Aᴇɢɪᴜᴍ

@Trainyay, actually. I believe this is the proper sub-forum, Friends&Followers have already been implemented, all people need to do is look at this forum post or learn from a friend (or someone they're following). S&I is a forum for ideas for changes to the ROBLOX site or games, this thread is all things roblox, meaning the community and I thought this post would help the community, since it is not a change to the site or game itself.
