"1. Expand the trading system.
Having only four trade slots for each party to use during a trade is simply not enough. Numerous people attempt to get around this by sending multiple trades or using MMs, among other things. Sometimes this works, but many other times it ends up with people getting scammed. The simple fix to this would be to add more trading slots! Less people would get scammed because the trading system would resolve more of the needs of Robloxians. Furthermore, if Roblox allowed people to trade their other assets, such as groups or maybe even game rights through Roblox’s trade system, people would be able to utilize the trade system more frequently, which will help to prevent scamming. People will constantly try to go around the trade systems limitations until Roblox expands the trade system in such a way that it will allow more users to exchange their assets. Implementing some or all of these ideas would decrease scamming significantly."
This sounds like a great idea, but I'm not sure how it will help reduce scamming.
"2. Address the economies severely increasing rate of inflation.
It is no secret that Roblox’s items are increasing in both price and value. Currently, many items are worth substantially more than they were a year ago; many are growing to the point of the economy’s safety being questionable. I have debated this topic with many people and have not come to a concise conclusion about where the economy is headed, but it is certain that an explanation is required. The creation of DevEx was an outstanding move by Roblox as that helped to curb inflation and bring a significant portion of robux out of the economy, but as Roblox has become more popular, with more people purchasing online currency, inflation appears to be heading out of control once again. Roblox needs to, at the very least, address the situation. If this is not an issue, please explain why. However, if this indeed an issue, Roblox needs to do something to eat up more robux, and fast. This could range from increasing the tax when something is sold, to lowering daily stipends, to releasing more items every month. I do not have the perfect answer for that, but the community needs something to be done; this cannot be ignored."
Okay, let me tell you something, and please, I would love nothing more to be proven wrong. There is no economy on a virtual website. The moderators, admins, etc. are purposely overpricing/spoiling their assets so people will want to buy builders club. It's also no secret that Roblox wants you to buy builder's club, so they run the site in a way to emulate a real economy. They could easily set it back to ten tickets = 1 robux, but they don't want to.
Some have made the argument that "But now, people are over pricing things". That is entirely wrong. I was here in 2011, and I can remember going on the catalog, and seeing stupid and otherwise crappy shirts costing 300-500 robux.
"3. Improve forum moderation.
This may seem unnecessary,"
Trust me, IT IS NECESSARY.
"but a slight change in moderation would cause an immense number of benefits for our website. It can be difficult for moderators to delete every thread that is against the rules; some of them go by unseen due to the moderator’s insanely difficult job of scanning over all threads in an entire forum. This only accounts for some of the missed moderation threads and posts that go by. Some of them are due to a sheer bit of ignorance on the moderator’s part. That is not intended to be taken as an insult. I ask you all, how can an outsider of a forum be expected to moderate it? That is just it; they cannot. I propose that strong community leaders are given more power in the moderation process. Do not misinterpret what I just said; I am not suggesting that Roblox reverts back into the old community moderation system that was used many years ago. I am instead suggesting that community moderators work alongside the current Roblox moderators. These individuals, who would be hand-selected by Roblox, would have a way to report threads that are inappropriate or go against Roblox’s terms of service in some way; they would have no actual deletion ability whatsoever. I can sense what many of you are thinking. “There already is a report button!” That report button is used and abused by so many Robloxians, to the point of it being useless. These community moderator reports would take priority over regular Robloxian reports. This would bring the moderator’s attention to more of the inappropriate threads and posts increase the speed at which they are removed. Another great benefit of this, the community moderators would certainly be willing to do this at no cost to the company. There is no reason not to implement this."
Support. There are few users on this forum that I can say really deserve this, as most of the threads are troll posts, and most of the people here are trolls.
"4. Add a sort of “Due Process” for Robloxians.
With Roblox’s popularity growing at such a high rate, having people spend more and more money on this website’s products, there is no question that Robloxians deserve a form of protection from unfair termination and bans. For those of you who are unaware, in the United States court of law, due process is the idea that a citizen deserves certain legal rights when being charged with a crime. The accuser of the crime must clearly state what the crime is that the person is being accused of and the person is also given the right to have an attorney among many other things. I am not in any way suggesting that Roblox set up some sort of virtual court to deal with bans, but what I am suggesting is that Roblox provide the person that they accuse of breaking the rules with three things:
1. A distinct accusation. What rule did they break?
2. Roblox’s evidence of them breaking the rule. Chat logs? Forum thread? Suspicious activity?
3. Give the user a fair chance to defend themselves. If the user has evidence to prove that the evidence is inconclusive, allow them to provide it and have it fairly examined.
Obviously not all bans are unjust; some people deserve to be banned or terminated for their actions. I have seen so many cases of people getting what appears to be an unfair termination, that it simply isn’t logical that all of them are just terminations. Everyone deserves the right to know why they are being terminated and they to be given a FAIR chance to provide proof that a misunderstanding is at hand when such a misunderstanding exists!"
HUGE support. I've gotten idiotic warnings in the past. And not just improve forum moderation, improve ALL moderation by doing a due process.
